Even the largest traditional umbrellas can’t keep you dry in rains mixed with heavy winds. In cities like Chicago, the rain comes at you sideways– and the designer of the Superbrella has an idea that’ll keep you dry in the toughest of rainy climates.

So while you’re walking through the rain, you’re generating renewable energy that yields a stunning, stylish appearance.
