Up periscope! Playful and practical umbrella keeps the rain out
- Share via
If El Niño materializes or you’re on the road and get that heavy sideways kind of rain, you may need an umbrella whose canopy is not just wide, but also deep.
That’s the playful and practical concept behind the Goggles Bubble Umbrella. Its deep bird cage-shaped canopy frame has a big goggle-shaped cutout with a transparent plastic insert so you can see in front of you while under cover.
The designers couldn’t resist playing a little more off the underwater theme by topping off the umbrella with a periscope-shaped plastic cap, for a whimsical submarine motif. The U-shaped —handle is slip-resistant rubber. Goggles Bubble Umbrella www.ellaumbrella.com in yellow, gray or black costs $32.
