a meteorologist made an unforgettable umbrella with built-in bluetooth

when meteorologist rick reichmuth needed an umbrella to protect against the elements, he discovered it didn’t exist, so naturally he created it himself…except this is a smart umbrella with built-in bluetooth technology, a smartphone application and a dedicated digital weatherperson for each user. the ‘unforgettable umbrella’ is the result of three years of research, sketching, testing and more testing, claiming today to be ‘the best ever created’.

standing up to extreme weather, the ‘unforgettable umbrella‘ is made from hand-sewn teflon panels upon a frame made from industrial-strength fiberglass, promising to withstand 55-mph winds. standing up to the demanding nature of the 21st century consumer archetype, it also features bluetooth technology to track your ‘weatherman’ to ensure you never lose it nor leave it behind.

there are two types of the ‘unforgettable umbrella’ available on the market, both of which boast these features. the ‘weatherman stick’ takes a twist on the classic whilst the weatherman collapsible offers a slightly more compact (when closed) option, for the modern-day commuter who will need to downsize their weatherman when suffering a busy train.

the mission was to make an umbrella that became part of your daily routine, which explains why an app whose sole purpose is to let you know if you need it or not, is an absolute aid to its’ success. the weatherman app syncs real-time information to warn you of rainy forecasts before you walk out the door, handily encouraging you to take your little weatherman with you.
