No matter where you are in the world, getting caught in the rain without an umbrella just plain sucks. This season, invest in one that can withstand the elements without becoming a distraction when you're on the go. The SwissTek Double Layer Smart Umbrella definitely fits that bill.

Unlike the average 'brella ('ella, 'ella), the SwissTek opens from the top instead of the bottom and stands vertically for easy storage. This distinct reverse-folding design is completely drip-proof, keeping those bone-chilling raindrops at bay by tucking its wet side on the inside. Whether it's closed up like that or open and in use, the SwissTek's C-shaped handle can be placed comfortably around your wrist to free up both of your hands so you can double-fist those pumpkin spice lattes.

If the sun ever happens to peek out from behind the clouds while you've got the SwissTek in tow, you can also use it to throw a little (literal) shade thanks to its UV-protecting fabric and windproof construction.

Purchase the SwissTek in your choice of four colors: navy, black, pink, or red. A two-pack of these smart umbrellas would normally run you $140, but for a limited time you can get a pair for only $33 — a savings of 76 percent.
