I mean, great proof of concept or whatever, but jeez...does this seem a little pointless?
I can see it now

Someone's having fun. I gotta follow those links later and see who came up with this playful idea. Gotta be someone in the PNW. Nuts, of course, but fun.
EDIT 30 minutes later...
HA! they're in Dublin and their site is down. Must not be raining there right now.  |

| Neat idea
Cute and interesting in concept... until reality hits in and you have a burly guy in leather giving you the eye "wanna share a raincoat?"
Yah.. no thanks.

2 edits | Behind? More behind than you think! But, you are forgiven as it's an old, fallen term from Merry Old. Umbrella. That wondrous autumn event in Seattle is named "umbrella". Much more fun noun, eh? |

| Seattle and rain
In the summer Seattle does not have much rain at all, especially this year, but the rest of the year they have on and off rain. I could see this umbrella would have worked that one monday this year where Seattle beat its record for most rain in one day for that month or some record like that. |

Not this year...
I'd have said London. Last time I was there, it rained, at least a little bit, every freaking day.
