A wet day out at the Grand National last year has led to British inventor Stephen Collier reinventing the umbrella.

Stephen was so depressed by his soaking wet visit to Aintree that he set his mind to creating an umbrella that would not poke peoples eyes out or turn inside out at the first puff of wind.

Now after extensive research and even a visit to a wind tunnel Stephen's revolutionary design is set to go on sale.

The Rainshader will cost £24.99 but will last a lot longer than some of the flimsy versions on sale today.
