Made for rain or shine, the compact and collapsible BLUNT Metro UV has a special blackout canopy that provides a UPF rating of 50+, perfect for those seeking protection from the sun.
The canopy fabric blocks 99% of ultra-violet light so you can enjoy being outside without worrying about the harsh effects of the sun. As harmful UV rays are blocked, this also means the temperature under the canopy reduces to keep you cooler. The Metro UV features an auto-open canopy to easily open with the push of a button and collapses back down to slide neatly into the carry sleeve. It's also built with a 360° spinning canopy to avoid damaging the core mechanism when knocked on accident.
At 37.5cm in length, you can whip your BLUNT out of your handbag or briefcase for all-weather occasions. Comes with a matching coloured sleeve.
Please note, due to the nature of the UV fabric, minor creasing does occur.
Our Blunt™ tip
The patented Blunt™ tips open like miniature umbrellas within custom pockets at the canopy edge, performing multiple purposes to make the Blunt™ Umbrella what it is. They transfer the radial force evenly into the canopy ,creating a superior structure and aerodynamic surface for ultimate performance. The Blunt™ tips reinforce the umbrella in a traditional area of weakness by eliminating the point loading at the rib end where umbrellas typically fail.
Double struts
Tension gained in the canopy must come from the compressive forces elsewhere – being the ribs. Blunt™ frames are built to provide this force into the canopy and to weather the additional stress they bear to do so. Our frame components are made from materials specifically selected to tolerate the full range of forces applied during use.
Tested to extremes
We believe style shouldn’t come at the cost of performance, which is why we have made the strongest, most aerodynamic and protective umbrella on the market. Blunt™ Umbrellas have been wind tunnel tested to a Category 1 Hurricane (115km/h)*
