I’m not a happy umbrella user. Never have been, never will be. In fact, I’ve lived in some of the rainiest climates in the world (London and Seattle) and tried to avoid using an umbrella as much as possible. But now that I have children, I at least need an umbrella to hold over them.
I received an UrbanTrim umbrella just in time for our rainy season here in Boston. The umbrella, a collaboration with SquidLondon, a UK design house is the first product from this new company. When it gets wet, the spots change from white to colorful “paint” splatters. It’s fun and fashionable, and my kids absolutely love it!
I found the umbrella easy to use, however, I haven’t used it yet in heavy winds.

Disclosure: I received an UrbanTrim umbrella at no cost to facilitate my review.
