Yeah, we know: Oregonians are way too cool for umbrellas. But today’s stylish, high-tech models will soften the resistance of the most rain hardened. Consider the Senz Original, aerodynamically engineered to resist 100-mile-per-hour winds without inversion. Or the Hazel Crook, fashioned from a continuous piece of wood that does double duty as a walking stick. The days of the drab black umbrella are long gone, says Jeff Blauer, owner of Portland-based manufacturer ShedRain. “Today’s it’s all about color and pop.”
