Looking for the right gift for a dad who already has everything? How about a new umbrella with some great bells and whistles. ShedRain offers some amazing golf size umbrellas or if you do not want one that big, they have some a little smaller as well. I am thoroughly impressed with this company.
A Little History:
A 70-year legacy of function and fashion.
On a wet, winter day in 1946, Meyer Blauer stepped onto a downtown sidewalk in Portland, Oregon, and looked skyward. Dark clouds and a steady drizzle cloaked the city, as they often do that time of year. But to Meyer, that wasn’t just rain falling from the sky. It was opportunity.
The following year, with the help of his brother and two uncles, Meyer purchased a small umbrella repair shop and gave it a new name: ShedRain Umbrella Company was open for business.
We started with six people, a few old sewing machines and an unlimited desire to make the best umbrella money could buy. Year after year, business slowly expanded—up and down the West Coast, across America and, eventually, around the globe.
The company that started with just a handful of basic designs now offers hundreds of different styles, colors and options. Now in our third generation of family ownership, we’re proud to be the only umbrella company that still maintains a U.S. manufacturing facility.
My husband loves this new umbrella. It has a 62 inch arc and I got it in his favorite color, blue! This particular one is called the Vortex Vent Pro. Don’t you just hate it when it is pouring rain and the wind is blowing and your umbrella gets inverted by the wind! Well, this umbrella has an intelligent anti-inversion system paired with large venting ports that allows wind pressure to be released and resist inversion.
When we opened the umbrella I was surprised to find that the pieces looked plastic, however, I learned that it has aircraft aluminum shafts that are lightweight and high strength. The Vortex Vent Pro also has tip tensioning system. The spring loaded tips are inside specifically designed TPR pockets to generate a taught canopy. This particular umbrella also comes with its own cover to put on it when not in use.
This umbrella is great for rain and wind OR for a sun shade if you have to be out in the sun for awhile. Check them out and find the perfect one for dad or pick one out for yourself. They have a lot of cute styles and colors.
