How do I use it?

Small, simple, and easy to use.

The Hands Free Umbrella kit is a small, simple, and easy to use gadget that clips onto different parts of your clothing instantly and requires no additional equipment to be used.*

You should attach the main umbrella holder to your trousers, skirt, belt, and shorts, and attach the smaller clip to your t-shirt, jumper, or jacket collar for the best performance. The umbrella then clicks into place.

What’s in the box?

Small, simple, but very effective!

The 2HF Kit comes in 3 simple parts (the main umbrella holder, a small clip with a C-clip, and an insert to raise the umbrella height) requiring no assembly. As part of the 2HF Kit you get a retaining screw to help support the umbrella handle in the main holder, as well as a small black bag for storage so as not to lose any parts.

A great home gadget that can easily be put into a rucksack or handbag for quick access.

ECO Friendly

All working parts are constructed from PLA (Polylactic Acid), this is made from renewable resources such as corn starch or sugar cane and is therefore biodegradable.

Packaging materials used are simple and minimal, as well as being reusable or recyclable.
