Metro is the go-to umbrella for days where you’re not sure what's on the horizon. It conveniently fits in your handbag, tote, or backpack so you’re always prepared, whatever the weather. Made for rain or shine, BLUNT Metro UV has a special blackout canopy that provides a UPF rating of 50+, perfect for those seeking protection from the sun. An auto-open button pops open the canopy for instant coverage at your fingertips. Built with unique 360° spinning technology, the Metro’s canopy is designed to elegantly handle knocks when navigating narrow spaces. Please note, due to the nature of the UV fabric on the Blunt Metro UV models, creasing does occur. Features of the Blunt Metro UV Umbrella Made to be modular - Each BLUNT Umbrella is made up of four primary modular components – the canopy, frame, shaft, and handle. This thoughtful and innovative design allows for easy repair and maintenance. Radial Tensioning System - A system of individually engineered hardware components – frame, tip, and canopy – working in harmony to create a high-performing, aerodynamic structure. A unique strut mechanism that stresses the ribs, creating an effortless outward tension in the canopy as the umbrella is opened. The iconic and uniquely shaped canopy is the cumulative effect of our six patented BLUNT tips. The canopy’s tautness – especially at the edge – provides a rigid wing-like surface that withstands all wind conditions. BLUNT Umbrellas are safer and more robust thanks to patented tips which act like mini umbrellas at the edge of the canopy. This evenly distributes tension from the frame into the canopy edge, and eliminating the need for sharp points.
