When you jump on a crowded train after escaping a downpour your dripping wet umbrella usually brushes up against your bag, your clothes or -even worse- a stranger. But by inverting the design, the wet side of the umbrella faces inward when closed, exposing only the dry side.

And that's not all: the creative design makes it easier to open when coming out of a car or other covered area, and when not in use the umbrella can stand up on its own!
