Where is your umbrella when you need it? Often at home.
TARAbrella aims to solve this & other problems people have with umbrellas.
Not sure if you’ll need your umbrella? TARAbrella has a system of lights in the handle to warn of rain before you leave the house.
Solutions to other umbrella problems:
● Left it in the bus/train/taxi/coffee shop – Bluetooth tracker will remind you as you move out of range (~10 metres (30 feet))
● Adds weight to an already heavy bag/backpack – carbon fibre runner & framework for a weight of only 198 grams (7 ounces)
● Not specifically an umbrella problem, but a light in the crown lights the way & warns of your presence to motorists
