This Wearable Umbrella Holder Keeps Your Hands Free

When it comes to getting caught in the rain, most of us have experienced the frustration of having our hands full with our belongings while also needing to hold an umbrella to protect ourselves from the downpour. Whether it’s a travel mug of hot coffee, a phone to hold, and a briefcase full of our daily belongings, it’s difficult to find a way to hold an umbrella with one hand while also using both of our hands for other tasks.

There are five demands of our modern world that require both our hands, but our biology has provided us with only two sets of these valuable tools.

Enter the team at Jokari – less about manufacturing products and more about solving problems for people. The Weather Wear wearable umbrella holder was inspired by the issue of people struggling to hold an umbrella with one arm while using the other.

The old way of doing things with umbrellas was simply outdated. The Weather Wear umbrella holder lets people release their grip on the world and embrace their problems by supporting the umbrella’s weight with their body rather than their arms. The product features an adjustable harness that allows for the umbrella to be secured into a rigid bracket that points straight up from the body. The durable clips keep the umbrella from moving in the wind, and the straps are lightweight and designed to work with thick winter coats or light jackets.

The Better Way

It’s not uncommon for a parent to have to navigate a crosswalk with a toddler in tow and a stroller. Or for a landscape photographer to have to find a balance of two hands to frame a perfect shot while the mist rolls in off the hills. This is the perfect solution for commuting on the transit system or walking the dog in the woods. You have full control over your balance, your gear, and your pockets – your canopy stays locked overhead.

Because the best innovations don’t necessarily come with the latest technology. Instead, it’s the smart mechanical designs that find solutions for people within their natural capabilities that stand the test of time, even in stormy weather.
