Even though I live in Los Angeles where it rarely rains, when it actually does rain, the drops of water wreak havoc on our city. Personally, I never expect a rainy day so I never have an umbrella on me.

Enter the Ambient Umbrella. This ingenious umbrella-slash-device makes sure you never leave home without it. Equipped with a chip that gets up to the minute weather data from AccuWeather, the handle lights up before inclement weather hits so you’re prepared.

Plus, the umbrella itself ain’t too shabby — it features a patented “gust-buster” design so you won’t be caught in the rain with your canopy up.
