The beauty of this design is it’s so practical yet it’s so stupid looking. The advertising says, " On a rainy day, it will be the wings for your arms". Which is a not so good way of saying that the UFOCAP frees your hands from the umbrella. So, it solves a great problem: staying dry without giving up a hand for a traditional umbrella. I can’t wait to until the patent runs out on this design, because I would love to see what a strong fashion designer could make of this new typology.

The umbrella but no handle UFOCAP
