Finally! An umbrella that lets you text while you hold it

Ireland needs this. For all of our futures.

IRELAND IS A country of experienced umbrella users.

Dodging around people on the pavement, swooping your brolly elegantly under bus stops, stabbing its ribs into fellow commuters’ eyeballs – we know, you’re an expert.

But what if you need to send a text? Or an email?

Suddenly you’re fumbling desperately with your phone, turning your umbrella inside out, getting soaked and dropping your mobile under the tramping boots of the commuter army.

No longer. The Brolly Rain Umbrella offers a knuckleduster-type grip that leaves your fingers free to text while you hold your umbrella proudly aloft.

Now, if only the wind would stop.
