Crave of the Week: Senz High Speed Umbrella
By Mike Payne
With April showers just a few months away, the Senz High Speed Umbrella is just the tool we need to keep dry. Octagonal umbrellas are for octagonal peoples, and we here at GearCrave are much more demanding. This winner of the 2007 red dot design awards is not just aerodynamic, it can be flipped and parried to combat not just rain, but wind as well. So when the rain is coming at you sideways, this umbrella has your back… er, side. Since your GearCrave editor hails from the Windy City, this was an easy pick for the Crave of the Week.
