The Security Umbrella “City-Safe”is a specialized personal safety tool designed for travelers and commuters that functions as both a high-quality rain umbrella and a legal self-defence baton. Its primary value for travel safety lies in its “unbreakable” construction and the fact that it is a non-regulated item that can be carried into secure areas where other self-defence tools are prohibited.
Key Personal Safety Features:
- Unbreakable Construction: Built with a virtually indestructible carbon fibre or high-strength fiberglass shaft, the umbrella can withstand significant force and even support the weight of a person up to 120kg.
- Tactical Defensive Length: At 78 cm (30″) long, it is specifically sized to function like a Hanbo or defensive stick. This length is ideal for blocking strikes, kicks, and jabs in confined urban spaces like buses, trains, or crowded city streets.
- Element of Surprise: Because it looks like a standard, elegant umbrella, it does not provoke attention or alert potential attackers to your defensive capabilities.
- Inconspicuous and Legal: Unlike pepper spray, stun guns, or tactical batons, this umbrella is legal worldwide and can be carried into official buildings, public events, and even onto aeroplanes.
- Reflective Safety: Some models include a subtle reflection band to increase your visibility to vehicles when walking in the dark or during low-visibility.
