#605: Showershield

I’m always in search of new ways to go out in the rain without getting soaked.

Today’s invention is a different umbrella which has a hexagonal shape when ‘up.’ These brollies have zips on the edges so that they can be conveniently joined together -forming a kind of testudo arrangement. This allows a couple or a small family group, for example, to walk together under several umbrellas and not be separated by a series of small waterfalls.

This might also require that the handles be extendable to different lengths so that youngsters can partly support the weight of their own.
