The Rain Safe umbrella wrapper

Those little sleeves you put on your umbrella are a great invention, but (here it comes!) they could use a little improvement. The main problem is that when you try to put these things on, you end up soaking yourself in the process. Clearly there’s a market for a good looking, basic device that lets you slip your umbrella easily into a sleeve and be done with it. I actually came across the gadget that does just that in a office building in the middle of Washington, DC. Oh, it’s called the Rain Safe.

As you can see by the picture, it’s a fairly self-explanatory device. And if you still don’t get it when you’re standing right in front of it, trying to use it, there’s a little placard that will explain it all for you (hopefully). I didn’t get a chance to try it, as it wasn’t raining and I didn’t have an umbrella, but it looked like it would work. . .

The one I saw was the single model that only handled your bigger umbrellas. Because of how popular compact umbrellas are these days, Rain Safe also sells a double version which has a side for big, and a side for small umbrellas.

This isn’t the gadget you buy for your house, but if you’re in charge of office lobbies, shops, hotels, etc. take a look at the Rain Safe. Prices seem reasonable, but then again, I’m not quite sure what companies usually charge for these types of things. Anyway, the single is $345, the double is $595, and 3,000 sleeves are about $100.

Most of our local grocery stores carry these and they do work great

Thanks tecwzrd, corrected. Must admit I’ve never seen these at all in the UK.

Fairly popular in Virginia, US at least. Not sure if they are the $345+ type units as this post shows but they look very similar and work exactly the same way. I for one only use the larger umbrellas since I need to cover myself and child and use the bags every time I see one.

I’d imagine the cost is easily worth the lawsuits it avoids from slippery floors.

Mike Says:

While I don’t really go to Virginia to often (Marylander, here) I’ve still never seen them. I want to go back and try it out, even if it’s not raining (I’ll probably look pretty weird then, but whatever).

Oh, thanks for catching the spelling error.
