The WalkSafe by ShedRain Umbrella Review and Giveaway

DID YOU KNOW?

Nearly 5,000 pedestrians, 1 every 109 minutes, are killed in traffic crashes

71,000 — 1 every 7 minutes — are injured in traffic crashes

65% of pedestrian fatalities occur between 6 P.M. and 6 A.M

That is why ShedRain has created The WalkSafe umbrella! It is not only a cool raingear product, it also is geared to save lives. With a patented, 360 degree 3M reflective coating for maximum visibility to oncoming night traffic, the WalkSafe by ShedRain is a must have!

In business for 64 years, the family-owned ShedRain in Portland, Oregon has a reputation unmatched in the industry. From the innovative WalkSafe by ShedRain reflective coating enhanced raingear to its state of the art, wind resistant ShedRain Golf and Wind Umbrellas, this brand has no peer. Great Fashion. Technical Innovation.

ShedRain has been recognized by Consumer Reports for best umbrella, New York magazine for “Best Bets” umbrella and the Wall Street Journal for “top wind umbrella.”

My Opinion

I really love the idea of The WalkSafe by ShedRain. I love that it not only protects against rain but protects against danger too!

The reflective coating is not too obvious in daylight to make the umbrella unattractive but yet bright enough at nighttime to warn people you are walking and nearby! It is a great warning system!

Besides being really safe, it is built really solid and looks like a long-lasting umbrella and I love the Auto Open and Close with just a push of a button! So awesome!

I recommend The WalkSafe by ShedRain for all pedestrians that walk a lot at night and need to warn drivers and other people that they are walking! The reflective strips are bright at night and the umbrella will definitely keep you dry while being really easy to open and shut!
