Weatherman represents the convergence of

The result? The best umbrella ever created.
Weatherman was conceived by nationally recognized
meteorologist Rick Reichmuth. After years in the field covering severe weather events, Rick couldn’t find
an umbrella that met his standards. So he decided to design it himself. The result after three years of
research, sketching, testing and more testing is an umbrella that stands up to extreme weather. The
materials – from the hand-sewn panels to the fiberglass ribs – hold off 55-mph winds. Bluetooth
technology tracks your Weatherman so you don't lose it, and the Weatherman app makes sure you don’t
leave it behind.
