Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the patented Blunt Tips different from a normal umbrella?
Standard umbrella tips are sharp points that catch on things and can turn inside-out in wind. Blunt's patented rounded tips connect the frame in a continuous arc, distributing tension evenly across the canopy — that's what makes it stay strong and open in genuinely bad weather.
Will it hold up in strong wind?
Yes — Blunt umbrellas are built and tested specifically for high winds, with a fully tensioned frame designed to flex and recover rather than turn inside out or snap.
What's the difference between the Classic and the Metro?
The Classic is BLUNT's original full-sized, full-length umbrella — built for maximum coverage on long, wet days. The Metro is a compact, auto-open, collapsible version at just 37.5cm long, designed to fit in a bag or briefcase for everyday city use, with 100cm of coverage.
How do I open and close the Metro?
The Metro has an auto-open canopy — just push the button and it opens itself. When you're done, collapse it back down and slide it into its matching carry sleeve.
How should I care for and dry my umbrella?
Let your umbrella air-dry fully open (or as open as your space allows) before folding it away or storing it in its sleeve, so it doesn't stay damp and mildew inside. Avoid forcing it shut while still wet.
Why does the canopy spin on the Metro?
The Metro's canopy has a 360° spinning mechanism, so if it gets knocked or caught by a gust, the canopy spins rather than putting stress on the core frame — protecting the umbrella's mechanism from accidental damage.
