PRODUCT REVIEW: BLUNT LITE UMBRELLA

I love autumn, and how the leaves on the trees turn into the most beautiful shades of burnt orange and deep red. But what I don't like, is, apart from the dropping temperatures and the quick arrival of winter is the rain that always comes too. And the chilling winds. But at least this season, I'll have a beautiful Blunt to keep me protected. 

So what makes Blunt Umbrellas so different. I think we've all owned an absolute umbrella, that fails at the first drop of rain, and which at the slightest wind blow turns upside down, and then end up in landfill. Blunt, on the other hand, are ergonomically engineered to not only be fun to use, but also to be stable and aerodynamic and withstand the strongest of elements. Blunt has some unique features, including;

• A tensioning system that helps it handle extreme wind and storm conditions 
• A slider system that uses an intuitive opening mechanism that utilises the latest push pull technology 
• Double struts designed to maximise the efforts used to open the umbrella 
• Floating 4mm fibreglass ribs for strength at the fully tensioned canopy so it can combat gusts and winds with ease 
• Blunt tips, distributing energy around the edge of the canopy 
• The rounded Blunt tips put an end to the otherwise hazardous tips, and the curved leather handle is also safer, as well as make it easier to carry the umbrella. 
• And to further ensure the highest possible quality, the Blunt Umbrellas have undergone a massive 38 point quality check, and also come with a 2 year global warranty. 

Blunt is a New Zealand brand, and they have several different models available, but I've been using the Lite model, which is their lightest mid-sided umbrella. I got the orange shade, which is so fresh and vibrant, ad I so love it, as is such a refreshing chance from the usual black umbrellas, plus, it really brightens up a grey and rainy day too. But it is also available in a heap of other stunning colours, as well as stunning special designer editions.

No, it's not a cheap umbrella, but I've lost count of the amount of umbrellas I've bought and thrown away over the years as they have simply been useless - with Blunt you've not just got a super stylish umbrella that will last you for years, you can also rest assured that it will keep you dry when you need it.
