BLUNT Metro Umbrella
Description
Meet the Metro, BLUNT's compact everyday umbrella, made to travel. It folds down to 37.5cm and 385g to live in a bag, a desk drawer or a car door, and opens at the push of a button to a full 100cm canopy, so you are covered the moment the rain starts. The automatic open makes it effortless one-handed, and its patented Radial Tensioning System pulls the canopy drum-tight so it holds firm in gusts of up to 115km/h that turn ordinary compact umbrellas inside out.
Compact convenience with none of the performance given away, the Metro comes in a wide range of fashion colours and is backed by a 2-year global warranty. Branding is applied by SupaColour full colour transfer.
Why BLUNT
BLUNT does not build umbrellas the way everyone else does. The idea was born on the streets of London, where founder and design engineer Greig Brebner watched cheap umbrellas snap, blow inside out and litter the gutters. Every BLUNT since has started from a single patented idea, engineered to fix a product that had stayed fundamentally flawed for centuries.
- Patented innovation: At the edge of the canopy sit BLUNT's signature rounded tips, which draw the tension out of the frame and spread it evenly across the whole canopy. No exposed spikes, no weak points, no dangerous ends at eye height.
- High tensioned canopy: That tension pulls the fabric drum-tight into a rigid, wing-like surface that holds its shape in the wind and will not flap, rattle or turn inside out, giving control in the conditions where other umbrellas give up.
- Wind tunnel tested: Every model is put through the wind tunnel and rated to withstand gusts of up to 115km/h, so the performance is measured, not promised.
- Built to last: BLUNT umbrellas are made to survive years of real weather, not a single storm, and are engineered and tested to keep performing season after season.
- Repair before replace: When a part finally wears, BLUNT repairs it rather than sending you a new one, keeping umbrellas in your hand and out of landfill.
- 2 year warranty: Every BLUNT is backed by a 2-year global warranty, the mark of a company that expects its umbrellas to last.
More about the Metro
Branding options
The Metro is branded by SupaColour, a full colour heat transfer widely regarded as the best in the world. It combines screen and digital printing with a printed white base, so logos, photographs and fine detail come through sharp and vibrant, and the colour stays true across every canopy colour. One setup covers the whole design however many colours it contains. Branding can go on one, two or three canopy panels, each with a print area of 250mm x 150mm.
Automatic and made for travel
The Metro is BLUNT's compact everyday umbrella. It folds down to 37.5cm and 385g, small enough to keep in a bag, a desk drawer or a car door, and opens automatically at the push of a button to a full 100cm canopy, so you are covered the moment you step out. It is the one to reach for on the commute, the work trip or the school run.
The Radial Tensioning System
At the heart of every BLUNT is the patented Radial Tensioning System. The signature rounded tips at the canopy edge act as small anchors, drawing the tension out of the frame and distributing it evenly across the whole canopy. The fabric is pulled taut into a rigid, aerodynamic surface that sits steadily in the wind and holds its shape where an ordinary umbrella would flex or invert, giving maximum control in the most demanding weather. Every model is wind tunnel tested to 115km/h.
Warranty and repair
Every BLUNT is built to last and backed by a 2-year global warranty. When a part does eventually wear, BLUNT's philosophy is to repair before replace, so a worn umbrella can be brought back to life at low cost and kept out of landfill.
