The Nubrella is here and reviews are mixed. It’s an umbrella-like canopy that sits on your shoulders when it rains, leaving your hands free to do whatever it is you want. Drink a coffee, hold a handbag, yap into a cellphone, gesture at the driver who splashes you…
My only concern about it was that it rested on the head but it doesn’t. It leaves some hairstyle room and apparently it allows you to breathe without fogging it up. Some people are saying it looks too goofy but I wouldn’t care. It would be nice to have the hands free to carry groceries in the rain instead of having one occupied with the umbrella handle. I’d wear it! Trend-watchers say it’s going to be a big hit with cyclists who want to ride in any weather. Bring it on.
The one big drawback being, of course, that you can’t wear one and continue to carry any semblance of pride simultaneously.
Nah! Hold out for the full “Biosphere” model. It’ll keep your arms, legs and feet dry……and it’s can’t look any more goofy than that!
I guess it’s, function over style or fashion.
