Nubrella - Hit or Miss?

Nubrella - Hit or Miss?

Check out the Nubrella - it looks as though you were wearing a goldfish bowl over your head, but at the very least it helps keep your entire noggin' dry (till your shoulders anyways) and best of all is, you get to carry out phone conversations even though it is pouring cats and dogs around you. The Nubrella retails for $60, but I'm not sure whether this design will catch on or not. Another plus point for this awkward design would be the inability for the Nubrella to turn inside out no matter how windy it is outside. Will there be a couple version in the future?

Absolutely brilliant - I notice they now sell them on umbrellaHeaven.com - people are always cautious about new things but I really think this could be the next bif thing - I can imagine the streets of London soon being transformed on a rainy day

Perhaps they should make one out of 'one-way' glass. That way you can see out, but people can't see in - no worries, you'll be free to look as stupid as you like :)

I like the idea ... I am a pet sitter by profession ...and I must say you may look silly...but it sure would be easier to walk and dog and not have to hold on to the umbrella at the same time...

it sounds as if the purpose makes sense but yes, it does look silly. i'd rather hold the umbrella than look like bubblegirl.
