Going out in the rain?

Have you ever been caught in the rain and have to quickly dig around for the umbrella you brought ‘just in case’?

• You and everyone else grabs the umbrellas and then you all put them up at the same time and there’s a big wet mess?
• You and everyone else grabs the umbrellas and then you all put them up at the same time and there’s a big wet mess?
• Or if you’ve ever been in a windy rainstorm and your brolly has turned inside out? Or tried to get in or out of the car with a brolly?

A friend sent us a link to this great looking new non-umbrella and we’re impressed at what we see – it’s a KAZbrella.

KAZbrella

The project is currently in the manufacturing stage after a very successful Kickstarter campaign. The company expects to have the KAZbrellas on sale through their website in the latter part of 2015. You can also get your name on to their mailing list.

The designers have confirmed the price as approximately £35 and say that the list of countries they will ship to and the shipping cost will be available as soon as the online shop goes live.

Travellers will also be pleased to hear that the company is also working on the development of a compact handbag and backpack sized KAZbrella which will be added to the range as soon as they are available.
