National Umbrella Day
-- In honor of one of the world's most invaluable inventions. The oldest recorded collapsible umbrella appeared in 21 AD in Ancient China. Qin Shihuang's tomb revealed a terracotta army carriage with a permanently open umbrella dating from 210 BC. Umbrellas were also found in Nineveh, Persepolis, Ancient Egypt, and Greece. We are sure glad someone was smart enough to invent it on a rainy day. Using umbrellas to shade ourselves from harmful UV radiation and sun heat is also increasingly popular. You are encouraged to walk in the rain and enjoy your umbrella on this holiday.
Read: A History of the Umbrella
-- The utilitarian umbrella, the friend of pedestrians, bookmakers, and anglers alike, has a far longer and more distinguished lineage than is generally imagined. This book describes its varied history from its first appearance more than a thousand years before Christ. Describes the history and development of the umbrella in social life, fashions in umbrellas and parasols, state- and honorific parasols, etc., through the ages and of all people (Europe, Asia, the Americas, the Middle East, etc.)
Windproof Travel Umbrella

Measuring just 11 ½ inches long and less than 1 pound for easy storage in purses, briefcases, backpacks, and more. Repel Travel Umbrella is fortified with nine resin-reinforced fiberglass ribs that flex slightly to withstand powerful gusts without turning inside out and defend against the elements like no other umbrella.
