A revolution in umbrella design.....Blunt derives its name from the clever fact that there are no sharp points at the edge of the canopy, making it super safe as you wander the streets, feeling safe and dry. The low profile and tensioned canopy allows the Blunt umbrella to sit effortlessly in the wind and provide maximum protection from the elements.
 
The Blunt's innovative design means the canopy will not tear at the tips or easily turn inside out.
The push-pull runner makes the Blunt easy to open and a concealed catch keeps the Blunt closed when not in use.
 
The radial tensioning system (RTS) redirects, transfers and distributes the effort used in opening the umbrella throughout the entire canopy surface. The RTS creates a strong, aerodynamic umbrella with no sharp points - the Blunt umbrella.
 
The radial tensioning system (RTS) consists of three parts:
 
- The double struts utilise all the force used to open the umbrella and redirect it outwards to the floating ribs.
 
- The floating ribs of Blunt Umbrellas are telescopic - allowing them to extend towards the canopy edge. As the ribs extend upwards and outwards they transfer the force from the struts to the edge of the canopy.
 
- Opening like little umbrellas themselves, the Blunt tips evenly distribute the outwards force from the ribs along the edge of the canopy.
