The NanoNuno umbrella uses nanotechnology, based on the structure of the lotus leaf, to wick away rain and dry in no time with just a shake.

The question remains whether this puppy can stand up to wind? I’m sure most, if not all, of my fellow Canadians wish for an umbrella that can withstand the thrashing of a good wind against one’s only means of protection/shelter, the humble umbrella, and would likely value that quality over the ability to quick dry. For €50 ($107.71CDN, $95,35US at today’s rates) the NanoNuno better offer some solid wind resistance too.
