The full picture
An umbrella is one of those objects most people ignore until the sky produces horizontal rain and the drugstore option immediately develops a new, abstract geometry. We chose the BLUNT Metro as a more deliberate answer to that recurring bit of weather-related theater: a travel umbrella that is explicitly listed for wind and rain, with UV protection thrown into the same compact-looking argument.
The Metro’s numbers are refreshingly concrete. It has a 39.4-inch open canopy, closes to 14.8 inches, and carries a listed weight of 13.6 ounces. Those figures do not make packing decisions for anyone, unfortunately; they simply give a buyer something better than the traditional umbrella purchasing method of “this one was near the checkout.”
The unusual part is the degree of seriousness applied to a thing that often spends its life forgotten in a coat closet, car door, or office lobby. BLUNT backs every umbrella with a two-year manufacturer’s warranty, while B Hub registration extends manufacturing-fault coverage on mechanical parts to four years total. That does not make rain charming, but it does suggest this is not being positioned as a one-storm disposable.
Our verdict is that the BLUNT Metro earns its place as a pleasingly specific carry item for people who plan around weather rather than negotiate with it. The compromise is equally specific: its 14.8-inch closed length is a real dimension to account for, not a vague promise that it vanishes into every imaginable pocket.
The Irresistible
- The BLUNT Metro is listed as windproof and intended for wind and rain, addressing the exact moment an ordinary umbrella begins impersonating a broken satellite dish.
- UV protection gives it a second stated use beyond rainy-day errands; apparently the sun also requires management.
- A 39.4-inch open canopy, 14.8-inch closed length, and listed 13.6-ounce weight make the size proposition plainly legible rather than hiding behind the word “compact.”
The Clever Part
- Its stated 14.8-inch closed length gives travelers and commuters a concrete packing measurement to work with.
- BLUNT includes a two-year manufacturer’s warranty on every umbrella.
- Registering a new umbrella through B Hub extends manufacturer coverage for mechanical parts by two years, totaling four years of manufacturing-fault coverage.
The Fine Print
- B Hub registration is required to get the additional two years of coverage on mechanical parts; even the rain gear has paperwork.
The Reality Check
- At 14.8 inches when closed, the Metro requires a bag, pocket, or packing setup that accommodates that stated length.

Does the BLUNT Metro umbrella provide UV protection?
Yes, the BLUNT Metro is listed with UV protection. Rain gets all the umbrella publicity, but the sun clearly wanted a seat at this meeting too.
