Works effortlessly in conditions way beyond
the capabilities of any umbrella in the world.
Designer Greig Brebner would take his Blunt prototype to Auckland’s
One Tree Hill in the middle of a raging storm and see if the weather could break it. The Blunt performed and functioned in winds at Force 12 (>117 km/h), the maximum setting of the test wind tunnel.
Each year millions upon millions of broken umbrellas are discarded. Very few are repaired or recycled, so the vast majority of them end up adding to the pollution buried in landfill sites.
A Blunt, on the other hand, is designed and built to withstand the toughest conditions and be a pleasure to use year after year. This means less waste, better value for money, and less swearing in the street every time it rains.

- 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.
- A Blunt is opened by sliding the advanced Push/Pull runner upwards. This action is similar to a conventional umbrella. The Blunt differs by creating optimum tension in its canopy in a revolutionary new way.
- As the Blunt canopy unfurls the additional DOUBLE STRUTS redirect the user’s effort into the specially designed FLOATING RIBS. These ribs are telescopic, and reach out like fingers stretching into a glove. They transfer the opening force into the patented BLUNT TIPS on the end of each rib. The tips then open like miniature umbrellas in their specially designed pockets, evenly distributing the tension right to the edge, where it is most needed.
