Blunt

Wind-resistant umbrellas designed in New Zealand since 2009. Founder Greig Brebner engineered blunt-edged canopies that redirect wind instead of fighting it, after standard umbrellas kept failing in Wellington's strong winds. Each umbrella uses a patented Radial Tensioning System that distributes stress evenly across the frame. Tested to withstand winds up to 117km/h without inverting. The rounded tips eliminate sharp spokes that tear fabric and poke people. Backed by a two-year warranty covering manufacturing defects.
