*DISCLOSURE* Thank you to Hedgehog Umbrella for providing product samples in order to facilitate this post. All thoughts are strictly my own.
Did you know that over 1 billion umbrellas are broken each year? One billion umbrellas produce enough metal waste to build 25 Eiffel Towers and enough polyester waste to cover New York City! That's insane!! Hedgehog Umbrellas thought so too and decided to design an umbrella that can stand up to the harshest, windiest, rainiest weather. Check out the Carbon:
Hedgehog Umbrella's flagship product, the Carbon features the perfect blend of automotive inspired technology and unparalleled build quality to transform the traditional disposable umbrella to a durable and long lasting product.
Hedgehog Umbrella redefined every component of the standard umbrella, from the metal springs and rivets of the ribs to the canopy, they have thought of everything to ensure you get an umbrella that was built to last a lifetime, not just a season. In fact, they even offer a Global Lifetime Warranty on each umbrella!
Check out the awesome features:
The dual carbon fiber constructed members fused by ballistic grade polycarbonate joints, delivers the strongest strength-to-weight ratio structure ever assembled to an umbrella.
Inspired from the automotive industry, Hedgehog Umbrellas developed the patented Umbrella Rib Suspension System. At high winds, this Suspension System increases flexibility to the canopy structure while maintaining a constant overall hemispherical shape. That means no more inside out umbrellas, even in heavy, swirling winds! This innovation makes the Hedgehog Umbrella the first and only umbrella with a wind resistant suspension system. This patented mechanism allows the umbrella to withstand wind speeds of over 70 miles per hour!
You can even change out your canopy in under 3 minutes! Quick and secure connections along the ribs enables you to take the canopy off and Hedgehog Umbrella has a large variety of canopy colors and patterns to choose from.
Don't forget the shielded tips...no more poking people's eyeballs out 😊
The Carbon also feature a cavity in the handle assembly for storing the umbrella cover and the flexible handle strap dual features as a retaining mechanism. This patented invention is beautifully simple, this flexible retaining mechanism is easily accessible, reliable, and moisture draining.
The Hedgehog Umbrella is an unrivaled masterpiece of engineering. This lightweight and portable umbrella weighs in at just 15 ounces! We were incredibly impressed by the functionality of this umbrella. It is by far the most durable umbrella we've ever owned. Living on the constantly windy Texas coast where "normal" forecasts include 20-30 mile an hour winds, our weather wreaks havoc on umbrellas. I have no doubt that our high winds will be no match for the Carbon umbrella from Hedgehog Umbrella!
A Carbon umbrella from Hedgehog Umbrellas would make a really stylish gift idea this holiday season. Give the gift that has a lifetime of practical use!
