The hi-tech Senz's asymmetrical, self-positioning shape means that the wind simply flows over its eye-catching canopy. What's more, its distinctly un-brolly-ish shape gives you better visibility as you walk through the rain.
No chance of poking anyone!
Push button and pull down
to open up the umbrella!
This smart umbrella really is a godsenz (see what we've done there?) for anyone who wants to avoid arriving at their destination looking like a drowned rat. And unless you're some kind of drip, that means you. So hurry up and hit Buy. It won't blow you away but you know it makes Senz!

"...for we Brits the Senz is the most important invention since queuing and quiet indignation.."Smartlife International - Feb '08
"Eye-catching (in a design sense...) and practical, this umbrella is an engineering marvel. The only surprise is that it has taken so long for someone to reinvent such an everyday object."Daily Telegraph - Nov '07

Excellent product as proved by walking the my daily vortex wind tunnel. It has never once let me down. Don't grip too tight and the umbrella will do all the work protecting you from the wind and rain.SlinkyGin, London - 18th February 2011
Received this as a gift a while ago, but last night it blew inside out on the way home. First time it's ever been exposed to strong winds too. Oh well.Ryan Griffiths, West Yorkshire - 9th November 2010
Purchased this as a Christmas gift. Not used much, however, the umbrella now fails to stay extended. The mechanism that holds the extension arm in place is broken. Very disappointing.Deb, Exeter - 14th September 2010

Bought a couple of these from here, used them fine a few times, then one got a bent spoke for no obvious reason. Fair play to Firebox, they replaced it FOC very quickly, so thanks to them for that.
You do get some funny looks, but at least you have some confidence that it'll cope with fair amounts of wind.Eric, Edinburgh - 31st July 2009
I was bought this as an xmas present. The first time I used it. . The wind caught it as I was opening it, and turned it inside out. But, it didn't break, like a normal umbrella would have done. However, I don't think the umbrella is suitable for city streets. Because of it's strange shape, and the fact that it turns in the wind, it's very difficult to walk around without hitting other people with it as it turns! Also it's designed for wind only coming in one direction. Which doesn't help if you're walking round buildings and the wind suddenly changes direction as you turn a corner. The umbrella has turned inside out a couple of times as a result and now one of the metal spokes is broken, just 6 months after I got it :(Susan, London - 29th July 2009
Firebox says: Sorry to hear that Susan! If you could send us an email (info@firebox.com) we should be able to sort out a replacement for you.
After getting drenched head to toe in a very heavy thunderstorm on the way to my guitar practice - I decided to buy an umbrella. I came across the Senz on FB and thought it was a very good idea so I ordered the full size version.
Well, lets just say I tested it on the seafront on a miserable day with gale force winds and it didn't flinch a bit ! Ok. . So I accidentally pressed the fold-up button while holding it and had the umbrella close on my head sending my mother into hysterics - it still did as it says, withstood 60mph gales. I now take my Senz with me with pride into town and grin at people when their's turns inside out. Thanks Firebox for this wonderful creation.Ricky, Brighton - 30th June 2009
As I'm always having umbrellas ruined by the wind, especially on my regular jaunts to good old windy Blackpool where the ocean gusts on the Prom are more than a a match for any brolly, I ordered the Senz. I was a bit worried about how pricey it was but thought if it lasted it would be worth it, so went ahead and ordered it from Firebox.
Pity I did - it's rubbish. Yes I'm sure it's very strong and no the wind hasn't managed to turn it inside out, but it doesn't really matter because it's utterly useless in the rain. The dynamic shape means it's so short on one side that half of you is simply barely covered to half of you ends up soaking wet. And it might withstand strong winds, but I assumed there'd be some sort of free rotating hinge so you could hold tight to the padded, grippy handle, but there isn't. Instead the instructions say you have to hold the handle only very lightly to allow it to twist around to face the direction of the wind. But that's useless because it makes it uncomfortable to hold (why include a padded grippy surface if you can't grip it tight) and of course if you hold it lightly to give it room to move, it simply gets blown out of your hand!
It's a nice idea but it's not big enough to protect you properly (and I have the larger version not the mini version which must be even worse) and the lack of any sort of swivel hinge means you can't hold onto it in the wind! Clutch it and it'll fight against you and not move with the wind. Hold it lightly and it'll twist with the wind alright, but right out of the hand!
Sorry Firebox I love you but this product isn't worthy of you - a huge disappointment.Steve B, Birmingham, UK - 7th May 2009
A beautiful product. Very strong !Geurth, Zwolle - 6th November 2007
