The innovative design of this inverted umbrella lies in the fact that when it is opened the endspokes do not open from the base handle but from the top essentially blooming out downward from the upper tip to form the arch of the umbrella

Because it closes outward toward the upper tip the accumulated water is funneled away from the user and immediate surroundings

As shown in the third photo one of the overall differences of this alternative design is that the central upper tip of the umbrella is dwarfed by the main tips of the umbrella spokes

The stitching started to fray or come undone on the edges but hasnt completely yet

With older style umbrellas i always ended up getting wet when trying to open or close them at my car not with this one

It rethinks the umbrella as a concept from top to bottom from the handle to the opening mechanism

Watch for damage when your umbrella arrives the tips are prone to breaking if bent
