Wonder how many have been sold?

I would put my head in a plastic bag before using one of those.
(not an endorsment of putting plastic bags over your head. Please read all warnings on plastic bags before inserting head into plastic bag.)

just watch. In a few years everybody will be wearing these and we'll all be the laughing stocks of the town with our oh-so-invertable umbrellas.

Add a skullcandy headphone and the picture is complete

The idea of the nubrella is brilliant, for so long you didn't consume some quantities of garlic sauce... Then you would be in more trouble then you're (by now) completely burn out car...

And for the K1000 option, where to put the needed amp and carbattery pack. Pounder... pounder.....
Any suggestions anyone. And if someone is willing to take the bed of supernothing, count me in, i will do almost anything for a nice eargasm... How lovely would the K1000 reverb inside the nubrella, mmh, thinking about it, mayby i should add some padding to those nubrella's to perfect the acoustics. And do not forget the segway pleace when sending the needed items, i do need a quick get away if i would do this

I'm just that damn good.

Already invented:

Functionally, it is a cool design. It is too bad it looks so ridiculous. If it was around in the 60s, I have no doubt it would have been a success.

I think that idea is already applied in something called automobiles...

It also elicits punching response from random bystanders.

Forget the K1000. I think this would be good with the Sennheiser Surrounder.

I tried so hard not to laugh, but I just couldn't keep that smile off my face that said, "I can't wait for the day I actually see someone with one of these on."

I have no issue wearing the K1000 around town, but like hell I'm going to wear one of these spaceman bubbles.

What if I want to keep my lower torso and legs dry also?

Should I use an umbrella?

QFT.

I used to carry a very tiny, flat "briefcase" umbrella everywhere I went. It was small enough to carry without even noticing. But for serious downpours, a good raincoat is unbeatable. The Nubrella would leave the rest of the body soaked. Worthless.

Of course, I finally don't carry an umbrella everywhere since it barely ever rains in SoCal. Although I did carry an umbrella around everywhere just out of habit for a few years until I finally stopped.

[synaesthetic]

That's the stupidest thing I've seen.

 

[vagarach]

With some smart engineering of the edge and folding structure I'm sure the umbrella inversion problem can be solved much more, how you say, gracefully.

Also, by pointing the point of the umbrella into the wind, one can prevent such things from even happening!

Now if it was motorized, like a car top, that might make it cool...
