Nubrella

The hands-free Nubrella looks as dorky as a grown man playing with G.I. Joes (note I didn’t say anything about Star Wars and light sabers), but when you’re confronted with pulling winds and fighting to reverse an inside-out umbrella, you’re not going to exactly get the type of attention you want from the opposite sex in that situation either. Designed to not to lose it shape, the nylon patent-pending Nubrella’s been constructed to withstand 50mph winds with its aluminum structure. It flips open and rests on your shoulders like a massive sci-fi helmet, encasing your entire body above your armpits so you can keep the most important parts of your body dry. Now you’ll have two hands left to dedicate to other rain-fighting duties, such as hanging onto the nearest lamp post or manoevering past flying projectiles while on your bike during the start of a hurricane. The product will be featured as a Father’s Day gift in May by gifts retailer Hammacher Schlemmer, but a girlfriend who spends a lot of money and time on her hair would likely appreciate this too.
