Wind-Proof Parasols

The Fulton Titan-1 Umbrella Can Withstand Extremely Gusty Days

— April 17, 2012 — Lifestyle
The Fulton Titan-1 Umbrella has been engineered to avoid flipping inside out during a rainy day that's accompanied by parasol ravaging, gale-force winds. As the official umbrella supplier for the Royal Family, the company's entire line-up of wet weather products are created with the intention of making that drizzly day commute a little less of a drag.

This particular rain-repelling model has been tested in a wind tunnel to withstand breezes of up to 78mph without turning in on itself and leaving its owner sopping wet and extremely irritated. Every detail has been fine-tuned for the ultimate in rain protection, from its oversize canopy to its gel-filled handle that molds to the hand of whomever is holding it. This black and silver-checkered parasol is strong without being cumbersome and is made from lightweight, non-conductive (electrocution-proof) fibreglass fit for a Queen -- literally.
Trend Themes
1. Wind-proof Parasols - Technical advancements in creating wind-proof parasols present an opportunity to create new products and design options for the umbrella industry
2. Extreme-weather Accessories - Consumers have a growing demand for durable, extreme-weather accessories which presents an opportunity for companies to create new products that cater to this need
3. Testing Industry - As the demand for sturdy and weather-proof products increases, testing companies can provide new services in the area of testing the durability and reliability of extreme-weather products
Industry Implications
1. Umbrella - The umbrella industry can create new designs and materials for umbrellas that can withstand strong winds and other extreme weather conditions
2. Outdoor Gear - Outdoor gear manufacturers can create more products that are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions like heavy rain and strong winds
3. Consumer Goods - Consumer goods companies can create more products that can withstand extreme weather conditions as the demand for such products grows
