14 DAY TRIAL // Haz Umbrella is one of those hipster items that solves the issues that it creates in the first place.
First of all, it's an umbrella. And umbrellas have already reached a pretty high level of technological advancement to actually be mechanically sound, ergonomic, and easy to use when needed without requiring any sorts of electronic gizmos, semiconductors, LEDs or internal batteries.
Umbrellas are like cigarette lighters, a simple portable mechanism that do what they're supposed to do without needing extra embellishment that will inevitably make it redundantly costly.
However, this sort of mentality didn't stop Haz Umbrella developers who managed to build an umbrella, and a pretty fancy video ad, that is battery-powered, teflon coated and app-enhanced. Not only that, but it also comes with a Bluetooth-based anti-theft solution that warns the user through an iOS and Android app when the 30m Bluetooth connection with the umbrella has been lost.
Rechargeable batteries everywhere
Now, let's be honest here, would a serious person that has used mechanical umbrellas before really need to charge his future umbrella before going out on a rainy day? What if there's a sudden storm outside and you really need your umbrella and your battery is drained because you forgot to charge it for the whole summer? Yes, the Bluetooth anti-theft feature is pretty neat, but this will probably raise the price of the umbrella making it a very desirable item to be stolen on the street.
Worry not, however, your Bluetooth device will make sure you get the Haz app pop-up when the thief is running 30 meters away from you with your high-tech umbrella.
