Let’s be real, flipping inside out is pretty much the universal symbol of an umbrella giving up. We’ve all seen it, or lived it, where a strong gust of wind hits and suddenly your umbrella’s doing its best impression of a satellite dish. Not ideal.
So, naturally, one of the most common questions we get asked is:
"Do BLUNT umbrellas flip inside out?"
And we get it. You're investing in quality, so you want to know exactly what you’re in for.
Find out the answer in the short video below, then keep reading for the full breakdown.
So... do they?
Yes, but there’s a difference.
Our Metro model, the most compact umbrella in our range, can flip inside out in high winds. But here’s the thing, unlike a typical umbrella it won’t break. No bent ribs. No snapped spokes. Just a quick pop back into shape and you’re good to go.
That’s all thanks to our patented Radial Tensioning System (RTS) and flexible frame design. These work together to absorb and distribute pressure without compromising the structure, it’s built to bounce back.
Why does it happen?
The BLUNT Metro is designed to be small, light, and easy to carry. Think of it as your everyday go-to. But because of its compact size, it naturally has a bit less resistance to intense wind gusts compared to our larger models like the Classic or Exec.
That’s a trade-off we make in favour of convenience and portability, but one we balance with serious durability.
We design our umbrellas to handle moments like this. A flip isn’t a failure, it’s a clever bit of flexibility that lets the umbrella recover, rather than snap under pressure
Built to recover, not break
We engineer all our umbrellas for resilience. Every model is wind-tested, weatherproof, and built to last.
When the weather turns wild, your umbrella should be able to take it. That’s why more and more people are choosing the BLUNT Metro as their go-to compact umbrella. Whether you’re battling city wind tunnels or sudden downpours, the Metro is designed to handle the chaos and keep you covered.
Ready to upgrade your umbrella game?
If you're tired of replacing broken umbrellas every time the wind picks up, the BLUNT Metro is the umbrella you've been looking for. It’s small enough to carry anywhere, strong enough to handle most weather, and smart enough to pop back into place when the wind gets wild.
