Scouted: In Case of Rain, Break Out One Of These Sturdy, Windproof Umbrellas
There’s a very specific feeling that comes with not having an umbrella when it’s raining. It’s a unique mix of dread and hurt ego, with a dash of frustration. Hear me, huddled masses of hunched, damp shoulders: It’s time to nix that feeling and get an umbrella (or two) that you can keep with you at your desk, in your bag, or on your person if there’s even a slight chance of a downpour.
The idea of spending a lot of money on an umbrella may be foreign to most people living in major cities with access to corner stores selling $5 ones every time it rains. But if you buy one every time your other one breaks or you leave it behind, you’ll rack up a bill twice as much as you would buying a quality umbrella.
Umbrellas that keep you dry but also will stand up to the whipping winds of late winter/early spring weather are worth your time. The Blunt umbrella was designed especially to protect against a heavy downpour and winds up to 55 MPH.
