Senz Umbrellas Withstand Ridiculous Conditions That Will Never Happen to You. Ever.
May 21st, 2009
The award-winning SENZ storm umbrella may look unusual, but apparently it’s how umbrellas should look. The umbrella’s angular design makes for a durable and weatherproof design that can withstand winds up to 70 mph (1oo kph).
I’ve experienced having my umbrella turned inside out so many times and I thought that short of being carried away by the wind, the turning-inside-out phenomenon was the thing that umbrella makers should be working on. I was wrong. Apparently they should also think about the needs of people who like to skydive with their umbrellas.
Seriously though, this is one tough umbrella. Unfortunately, a lot of people who really do experience strong winds and rains – like us Filipinos – won’t be able to afford the SENZ. The collapsible mini version sells for €40 (Appx. $55 USD), the regular-sized version sells for €50 ($69 USD) while the XL SENZ is €60 ($83 USD). SENZless prices if you ask me.
You can order a SENZ umbrella at the SENZ webshop. You rich bastard. Kidding. Buy me one please?

are you watching the Oddee blog….
they just did 10 umbrellas and senz was one XD
That is one tough umbrella. Useless making it THAT tough though. I wouldn’t pay more than $20 for an umbrella.
they may be tough but the video is pure marketing hype.
just look – they are competing standard mini folding umbrellas against their top notch nonfolding rigid model.
besides: way too expensive
