I think in torrential winds this would be deadly.. you could get blown for miles. With a standard umbrella you could just let it go whereas this wonderful item of protective clothing you would be stuck within it. And that child seems awfully pleased with herself being flaunted in such an abnormality!!!- fantastic!

It’s no worse than golf umbrellas. Geez, people, if a drop of rain hits you, you won’t melt.

On the other hand, your huge f-ing umbrella is taking up the whole sidewalk.

It folds up, so its brim isn’t so rigid as to pose a problem on the subway; a person pushing against it would just squoosh it in.

I love the Engrish in the manufacturer’s write-up that Kev shared with us (2nd from the top)!

And who could mock such a cute kid in such a sporty outfit? (Besides jealous kids who lack similarly sporty outfits, of course)

It’s a neat idea, but becomes useless when your kid sees a puddle and decides to jump in it.

it would be a great media support in Time Square!

Doesn’t anybody think about the children!?

Definitely a great step forward in ocular retention.

Why do people look so shocked when you hold up a forearm to fend off their brollies? They’re my eyes, damn you.

Reminds me a bit of a medieval raincap that falls over the shoulders. Does it also have a long tail at the back of the head?

Anyhow I think this is a Huge improvement on the umbrella that has deadly dangerous pointy things that give especially ladies completely legit means to blind and mortally wound innocent bystanders…

It reminds me of the “Cone of Shame” they have for dogs and cats.

They left out how well it will work when you ride your Moped (or human powered hovercraft).

fail

Shouldnt the ufo part be on top of the head? All this does is keep your shoulders dry while exposing your face to wind, rain, sleet, hail etc.

Also, what happens when a strong gust of wind turns it comedically inside out?

Any parent that puts this on their kid is a child abuser.

That’s pretty clever. It would spare the user the risk of overheating, as one experiences in a raincoat.

(not to mention my protruding beer butt…)

Cute concept, but sadly the UFOmbrella is just broad enough to propel a steady stream of rainwater over the edge of the cap and onto the topside of my protruding beer gut, much to my humiliation

Oh, good lord. Just wait until the hipsters get a hold of these…

You only touched on the advantages briefly; following the link, I notice that the manufacturer lists a number of other advantages, including, but not limited to:

Execellence
Conenience
You are not going to hurt another person s eyes.
You can use two merits at the same time
we can put the logo or mark as your hope.

Another disadvantage would be getting through doors, and you probably won’t be the most popular person on the subway. Especially if it’s one of those Japanese trains where they have to stuff people in.
