Mind of its Own

TARAbrella provides you with accurate weather forecast within 6 hours! Looking at the clouds and not sure if you should bring an umbrella before leaving home? TARAbrella will help alert you!

Your smartphone will tell you the weather, but it’s just one more thing you need to do with your phone. With TARAbrella, there’s no turning on phones, charging phones, or skimming through weather apps. The bright glow of the LED light bar built into TARAbrella’s handle tell you in 3 easy to identify indicators what to expect from mother nature as you head out the door; transparent for sunny or partially cloudy days safe to leave the umbrella at home; flashing blue for an overcast day with a chance of drizzle and solid blue on days when you can surely expect rain.  

Never Lose Your Umbrella Again

As if an umbrella that predicts the weather all on its own wasn’t enough, we didn’t stop there with the TARAbrella.  Stylish, built to last and packed with features, the TARAbrella is one umbrella you won’t want to lose - and with its built-in loss prevention system, you never will!

Simply detach TARAbrella’s wireless pocket fob, slide it in your pocket, and you’ll be sure to never misplace or leave the TARAbrella in a café or pub while out on the town.  The TARAbrella’s pocket fob will beep to remind you of your umbrella once separated by a distance of about 30 feet.

Super LED Overhead Lighting

The ultrabright LED overhead light at the crown of the TARAbrella will light your path in the dark or in fog, and provides visibility of your presence to motorists.  Stay safe and dry with the TARAbrella.

Patented Safety Runner

TARAbrella’s patented safety runner ensures easy and and comfortable opening and closing of the umbrella, guaranteed to never pinch your fingers.  The umbrella’s runner and framework are constructed of a carbon-fiber material five times stronger than steel, able to withstand even the most extreme weather conditions.

Style and Comfort

It may be high-tech in the world of umbrellas, but the TARAbrella is as stylish as it is smart and practical.  With TARAbrella, we have paid attention to detail as well as comfort.  TARAbrella’s ergonomic handle - made to fit in your hand comfortably for hours – is just one example of our attention to detail.

Wall Mount Charging Cradle

TARAbrella includes a charging cradle that can easily be mounted to the wall, meant to both charge and hold the TARAbrella while allowing the TARAbrella’s weather indicator to be easily visible as you head out the door.

The Brain Inside

Packed inside the TARAbrella are the sensors and “brain” of TARAbrella which allow it to provide you with an accurate prediction of the day’s weather.  Inside TARAbrella, data provided by a digital barometer measures atmosphere pressure every 35 seconds while a digital hygrometer constantly measures humidity.  Add in a little electronic wizardry to analyze the combined data, and TARAbrella is able to provide an accurate, constantly updated forecast of what to expect from mother nature through the simple LED indicator bar built into TARAbrella’s handle.
