    When you live in a country with so much rain, you’re well-versed in the headaches of umbrella life.

    From your budget brolly deciding to break the second it gets windy, to turning inside out and making you fear you’ll blow away Mary Poppins style.

    Or worst of all, when someone dares to shake their brolly’s dirty rainwater in your direction. It should be an arrestable offence, right?

    That’s why Gilley is quite honestly a revelation when it comes to umbrellas. Seriously, these are the bad boys that Rihanna must have been singing about in her 2007 hit.

    The brand has crafted a range of umbrellas that are engineered for modern life and can withstand winds of up to 30mph. Which, considering london’s average is 8, should have you covered even when it gets a little stormy.

    The umbrellas are the size of a small water bottle and so light to carry, plus the latest model can even accommodate an Apple AirTag so you can ensure it never goes missing.

    And, you don’t have to worry about shaking off that excess rainwater because the Gilley umbrella has a hard, watertight case to pop it into when wet, meaning it’s instantly dry to put away in your pocket or bag.

    Small but mighty, this umbrella will withhold even the windiest days. (Picture: Metro/Linkby/Gilley)

    Gilley crafted these incredible new umbrellas to try to put a stop to the 1 billion ending up in landfills every year. Not to mention that the average life span of an umbrella is just six months.

    ‘Amazing umbrella- really works well and doesn’t flip inside out in the windy London rain like all other umbrellas! ‘ Kristin said in her review.

    ‘Normally I just buy a cheap umbrella when it starts raining, but they never last long,’ Sarah said in her feedback. ‘With this one, I’m set for the long run! Congrats on this new durable product.’

    We know summer’s fast approaching but you can guarantee a ton of rainy days ahead. So don’t get caught short in the drizzle.
