Summer has started but this does not mean that we could suddenly find ourselves in the middle of a termporale and therefore (however hot we can be) getting wet is certainly not a beautiful thing. And if on the one hand it is true that there are no more seasons, it is true that being prepared for such events is wise, so better to keep an umbrella in your car or backpack, but you would have never thought that even this object could become smart ?
Well, Xiaomi took care of that poco presented on its Youpin crowdfunding platform a decidedly curious umbrella, as it integrates a system with overturned opening but above all a practical LED flashlight directly in the handle. The umbrella is produced by the NINETYGO brand and once folded it occupies a space of 6 x 33,2 cm for a weight of 410 grams, but once opened it can offer a coverage of 106 cm diagonal, more than excellent to offer shelter to 2 people.
Among the features of the NINETYGO umbrella we find a structure with decidedly resistant rods, capable of guaranteeing a 6-degree twist, a flexibility that allows you to resist rather imposing gusts of wind.

But in addition to the classic function of shelter from the rain, this umbrella also allows it to be used to shelter from the sun's rays, as the "hood" offers thermal insulation against UV rays, a level of UPF50 protection for a total block of light .
Are you wondering about the advantage of having a reverse locking system? Well this will allow you to close the umbrella without perhaps the floor, for example when returning home. But let's go back to the genius of this NINETYGO umbrella, or the integration of the LED flashlight in the handle, allowing you to better view the road in the dark hours of winter. The offered beam of light extends for 1 meter in diameter and 10 meters apart.
