This merger of two umbrellas eliminates the jockeying for position that occurs when two people compete for adequate coverage underneath a typical umbrella. Spanning 6′ wide and 3′ deep, its lightweight dual steel tubes, stretchers, and ribs provide a rigid structure that endures continued seasons opening and closing.
Despite its size, only one hand is required to hold it, so its oversized canopy can also protect one person carrying an armful of packages. Made of 100% nylon cover, it alos includes a pouch. It opens manually, a pull-cord assists closing, and it is available in Black only.
Spanning 6 feet wide and 3 feet deep, the Duelbrella insures that it covers you and your partner in the most inclement of weather. (Closed Dimensions: 36″ L x 2 3/4″ W and 1 1/4 lbs.) Available at Hammacher Schlemmer for $40. (www.hammacher.com)
