Inverted Umbrella Designs

This Inside Out Umbrella From Rainlax Traps Moisture On the Inside

— January 31, 2017 — Fashion
The Rainlax Inverted Umbrella is an inside out umbrella that, instead of folding and getting everything wet when you come back inside, traps all the moisture on the inside and maintains a nice, dry exterior. Its double layer design means you can close your umbrella and keep it in your car or the floor of any room. This makes it much easier to commute with (especially in packed subway cars) and travel with, generally.

The Rainlax inside out umbrella is made out of durable materials that are water-repellent, windproof and UV-protected, making it perfect for battling all the nasty elements. The black on black design has a C-shaped handle, making it easy to manage hands-free for when you need to check your phone or carry other bags. It can also stand up independently.
