As we turn into the rainy season across Australia, we here at Cubic Promote have been looking at the best ways to keep yourself dry in high tech fashion. We've found 9 amazing new ways that people are bringing umbrellas into the next century. If none of these take your fancy, we can help make you your corporate branded umbrellas.

1. Bluetooth Umbrella

We've all had that awkward situation where you are one hand too short in the umbrella battle. The Bluetooth umbrella is here to provide a hands-relatively-free way to use your phone whilst holding your umbrella. It links with your mobile phone, has a speaker imbedded in the handle with the added feature of also being a radio. What more could you want?

2. Illuminated Umbrella

One of the dangers of walking at night with a black umbrella is the fear of not being seen on a sidewalk that is close to a busy road. Enter the Bright Night umbrella, which comes equipped with a 6V krypton light at its peak, designed with the curvature of the umbrella to create a reflective light that allows others to see you, and gives you illumination for up to six feet in front of you.

 3. Bumpbrella

Everyone has the same problem in the rain, we all need that extra coverage but the space comes with risk. The sharp metal ends become a weapon that can cause a sharp poking pain if you run into somebody. Enter the Bumprella. It's an inflatable and self contained bubble that is see through to ensure you can see clearly. It's even added LED lights to ensure maximum visibility in the rain.

4. The Force Umbrella

Wanting to stand out in style? Your inner geek will thank you when you pull out this guiding light during a storm. The light saber umbrella will guide you with a LED shaft and custom designed hilt.

5. Singing in the Rain

To top it off, the design features a flash light on the handle to guide you through the darkest of places.

6. The Internet Umbrella
