When I first saw this I thought how useful it looked – the amount of times I’ve tried to hold my bag, my umbrella, answer my mobile, find my keys etc. I end up in a state with the umbrella usually drooped on the floor and me left soaking wet. Then I thought about it some more and realised I’d probably look pretty funny with this huge attachment on my arm – it would be a perfect invention if it was a tad more subtle!

I’m not really sure how you close the umbrella without getting wet either – I can imagine myself trapped inside as it shuts and being in a worse state than with a normal umbrella - perhaps it might be best to stick to a hood! For only $7.99 I think this may be worth a try though (for the entertainment factor at least).
