# Wind-Proof Parasols The Fulton Titan-1 Umbrella Can Withstand Extremely Gusty Days By Sarah Moore | Published 2012-04-17 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fulton-titan-1-umbrella References: [notable](http://notable.ca/nationwide/shop/Hot-Shop-Fulton-Umbrellas/) & [fultonumbrellas](http://fultonumbrellas.com) The [Fulton](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/verist) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airbourne-reserve), 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/original-duckhead) 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 Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Wind-proof Parasols:** Technical advancements in creating wind-proof parasols present an opportunity to create new products and design options for the umbrella industry - **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 - **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 ### Sectors Adopting This - **Umbrella:** The umbrella industry can create new designs and materials for umbrellas that can withstand strong winds and other extreme weather conditions - **Outdoor Gear:** Outdoor gear manufacturers can create more products that are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions like heavy rain and strong winds - **Consumer Goods:** Consumer goods companies can create more products that can withstand extreme weather conditions as the demand for such products grows ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Expertly Crafted Umbrellas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-green-umbrella.md) - [Large Outdoor Parasol Shades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mega-max.md) - [Ultra-Lightweight Durable Golf Umbrellas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golf-lite-umbrella.md) - [Sturdy Heat Relief Umbrellas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aliz-umbrella.md) - [Flying Umbrella Prototypes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-umbrella.md) - [Geodesic Windproof Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/expedition-tent.md) - [OLED Weather Umbrellas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ori-umbrella.md) - [Aerodynamic Design Camping Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wind-anchor-tent.md) - [Connected Dual Functioning Umbrellas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hulasol.md)
