Save a Lot: The Price of the Blunt Metro for 89$times$89: A Low-Dimensional Rain Jacket

Blunt Metro for $89: The Metro is the more compact and slightly lighter-weight version of the Blunt Coupe up above. It automatically opens (and manually closes) and provides nearly the same amount of coverage. The canopy is supposed to prevent damage to the core mechanism. When folding it all down, you have to hold the Metro by a wrist strap because it covers most of the handle.

The Stick is a better choice if the umbrella is too small. It has a bigger 44-inch canopy, and a big dome to shield you better from the rain. It doesn’t allow strong winds to pass through its canopy. Like the Travel Umbrella, The Stick features an automatic open feature with the push of a button, but you’ll have to close it manually.

We’re about to see a lot of rain since spring is almost upon us. After all, “April showers bring May flowers.” It’s time to stock up on rainy-weather gear—most importantly, umbrellas. Good news! WIRED-tested umbrella brand Weatherman is offering 25 percent off on select styles and colors until April 1.

After spending almost two years testing Weatherman’s umbrellas, we can confidently say the brand offers the best quality for the money. You will get a LIFETIME WARRANTY with your purchase from the company’s website, which means it will fix any damages or replace the umbrella for you.

This was already our favorite affordable rain jacket, and now it’s on sale again. We particularly recommend it for traveling or casual day hikes. It has high-quality waterproof, recycled nylon, vent zips, a waterproof center zip, and a packable hood. It’s seam-taped so that it won’t get wet. This jacket dipped to $45 in January, but this is still a solid deal.

The Windbreaker was mentioned for its design in the Best Rain jackets guide. The lightweight jacket has a durable water-repellent (DWR) application to keep water from soaking the jacket as well as a HiloTech fabric that’s self-repairing. If you get small holes in the fabric, you can patch them by rubbing it with your fingertips.
