Weatherman Launches Industry-Changing Golf Umbrella At PGA Merchandise Show

After revolutionizing the umbrella industry with the launch of its Collapsible and Stick Umbrellas in November 2017, Weatherman introduced its Golf Umbrella today at the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando.golf umbrella

Available in two sizes, 62 and 68 inches, Weatherman's features change how golfers of all skill levels approach weather conditions on the course. Teflon-coated fabric keeps golfers dry and the UPF 50+ barrier protects them from the sun, making Weatherman the perfect golf umbrella for rain—or shine. A large mesh pocket on the inside of the canopy offers a dry storage compartment for gloves and a scorecard, while a silicone-coated, non-slip rib is the perfect place to hang a towel.

"Golf is a game of inches and we accounted for each one while developing this umbrella," said Weatherman Founder and CEO Rick Reichmuth. "We spoke to golfers of all levels, as well as golf fans, and learned that protection from the sun was just as important as protection from the rain, and keeping everything within arm's reach was crucial. We listened, developed, and delivered the best golf umbrella ever made."

Reichmuth, one of the nation's most trusted meteorologists, first set out to design his own umbrella when he couldn't find one that met his standards. The first two Weatherman umbrellas—the Collapsible and Stick—sold out two weeks after November's launch.

Like those two models, the new Golf Umbrella includes an integrated Weatherman app that pairs with a Bluetooth tracker to detect the forecast, then gives you alerts when you need to bring your umbrella along. Even if you misplace your Weatherman umbrella on or off the course, the app makes it easy to track its location.
