You may look a tiny bit unsocial but it is definitely cute.

I think it looks ridiculous! For $49.99, it's definitely not worth buying. Wouldn't a sleek looking raincoat be more functional?

whoa, so many haters!
i love this idea. i'm sure if you have a car and don't have to walk very far, it wouldn't be worth the trouble. but when you walk miles around the city every day and umbrellas always fly inside out, this would be amazing!!!
i would totally look like a dork to stay dry and cozy. xo

I don't hate it, but I do see a flaw. The beauty of an umbrella is that it is a canopy, like the awning of a store it doenst just keep your head dry but your whole body (besides shoes and splash) This pod would allow the rain to cling and roll down it, any clothes you are wearing below its limits would get soaked, so you would have to wear a rain jacket anyway
Umbrella on a hat tho, brilliant!
