Spring is here and that means we're going to be getting a lot of those April showers soon in lieu of those pretty May flowers, so you may want to arm yourself with the Gunbrella umbrella. Forget the classic black umbrella and go with something a little more fun with his pistol-shaped parasol.
Although there have been a lot of weapon-like rain shields featured on Trend Hunter before, including the rifle umbrella and the knight's sword umbrella, the Gunbrella umbrella is unique in that it's more fun than serious.
With a cartoon-y aesthetic, the Gunbrella umbrella looks like it belongs in a Bugs Bunny skit as it boasts a big 'BANG' graphic on its fabric. Paired with the old-style gun handle, the Gunbrella umbrella is definitely worth having.
