umbrellas from the future

nubrella

I don't care if it makes me a dork; I think this is cool. It's a huge clear helmet umbrella with shoulder straps. How many times have you wished you could keep both hands warm in your pockets but had to have one freezing off to hold the umbrella against the driving rain? Plus, it won't turn inside out or poke anyone in the eye.

The nubrella is billed as "The Ultimate Weather Protector". Unfortunately, engadget is probably right - no one will use them because they look kinda dorky. If only society wasn't so cruel! We could all be bobbing along in our sweet hands-free umbrella helmets... Next thing you know we're all rolling along in our Ultimate Ultimate Weather Protection Bubbles, with jeans that aren't soaking wet up to the knee and backpacks that haven't reached their saturation point.
