Tired of umbrellas which blow
inside-out, break, poke you in the eye or catch your fingers in the
springs?
This is precisely what Dutch designer,
Gerwin Hoogendoorn's countered with the creation of his
award-winning, aerodynamic SENZ° umbrella.
This design sensation is
sturdy yet light, and redefines storm protection by effortlessly
withstanding winds up to 70 mph without inverting, and instead,
gravitates to put itself in the best position in the wind! (Watch Video Below)
The umbrella has a sleek, wing like
canopy with a trailing edge, designed to maximize protection, reduce
drag and keep rain off your back .
The short side is meant to face
the wind and also features Eye Savers, a solid connection between the
canopy and the frame, designed with the front slanted down to protect
your eyes from any possible harm. The tips on the canopy are also
flat and rounded to aid in minimizing injury from accidental pokes.
A foamed, rubberized handle keeps your
grip from slipping. The umbrella does not pop open like traditional
styles, instead, SENZ° gives users full control by allowing them to
pull the opening mechanism down. A push button on the handle, closes
the umbrella.
Storms aside, the protection extends to
all seasons, and the umbrellas are offered in trendy colors and
patterns, and also comes in a XL size for taller people. Three
foldable pocket size umbrellas are also offered.
Warranties range from 12 months or 2
years based on the style. The company has a customer friendly approach to returns. There is no
need to return a problematic umbrella, instead, just take a picture
during the warranty period and save your old one for spare parts.
SENZ° storm umbrellas are offered
world wide. Please visit their web shop for purchase or contact
customer service. Amazon has great prices on this product as well.
Winner of the 2007 Red Dot design
award, along with other major design awards, SENZ° is the perfect
umbrella for the perfect storm.
