BLUNT is a New Zealand umbrella brand known for its engineering. Its patented rounded BLUNT tips spread tension evenly from the frame to the canopy edge, giving the canopy its taut, wind-resistant shape and making the umbrella safer to carry in a crowd. The umbrellas are built from modular parts so they can be repaired rather than thrown away, and BLUNT rates every model in its range to wind speeds of 115 km\/h (about 72 mph).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuy once: durability and care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen it is new, open it fully and leave it open overnight to loosen the mechanism. After rain, let it dry completely, open or standing upright, before you fold it away. Clean the canopy with warm water and a soft cloth (no detergents, harsh brushes or machine washing), wipe the handle and shaft now and then, store it dry, and check that the rounded tips sit firmly in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow small does the BLUNT Metro fold?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo 14.8″ (37.5 cm), and it weighs 13.6 oz (385 g), so it fits in a handbag, tote or backpack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes the BLUNT Metro open automatically?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, an auto-open button pops the canopy open at your fingertips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow much does the BLUNT Metro cover?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts canopy is 39.4″ (100 cm) across — sized perfectly for one person.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the Metro’s spinning canopy for?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe canopy can rotate 360°, so it rolls off bumps from walls, doorways and passers-by in narrow spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs the BLUNT Metro windproof?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eBLUNT rates its umbrellas to 115 km\/h (about 72 mph), and the tensioned canopy holds its shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhich BLUNT Metro color is easiest to live with?
