Umbrellas that Forecast and Kick Ass

The umbrella has come a long way in its functionality. From mini umbrellas to push button ones, umbrellas have now evolved to help you forecast the weather so you can stay dry and fend off attackers so you can stay alive.

From ambientdevices.com comes the Ambient Umbrella - never forget your umbrella again! It can let you know of weather conditions before you leave the door via the glowing butt. Different light patterns will warn you of snow, rain, drizzle, or thunderstorms and it automatically receives local weather data from AccuWeather.com. I think this would be especially handy on road trips when you're out and about and you don't have access to weather reports. This will cost you $125.

From real-self-defense.com comes the Unbreakable Walking-Stick Umbrella. All I can say is wow! After watching the demonstration below, I'd say this is the perfect companion for protecting you from rain, robbers and the authorities. Why the authorities? Well, it looks perfectly harmless and it's an everyday object that no one will question you about. It come with either a curved, straight or knob handles and will cost you $149.95.


Now if only you could combine the two umbrellas above to come up with the Unbreakable Ambient Umbrella... that would be a hot seller.
