Technologies (the company behind the No Drip Umbrella) was kind enough to send me one so I could check it out for myself. One thing that they don’t mention on their website is that the end of the umbrella cover screws off so that the water can drain out. Also, the collapsed case actually doesn’t look that bad on top of the opened umbrella. I like it. [...] [...] Previous post update: Gee!

Also, you end up with a wet bag, and who wants a wet bag? :) I like this solution to the problem the best, as you don't have to do anything special to have it with you.. take your umbrella and you've got a case. It's all about convenience, I think.

On a related note, there's a store here -- I forget which -- that has a dispenser near the entrance that dispenses long, thin plastic bags for slipping wet umbrellas into.

I always thought the reason they weren't popular hear was because of the mentioned resemblance to a condom. These things were all over the place in Taiwan when I last visited…12 years ago.
