Images of the year 2017: Technology for better life

Perfect for those who work outside and walk dogs, and for those cold and rainy winter mornings, the Nubrella is an invertible weather protector worn backpack-style with convenient functions. After putting on the 3-pound Nubrella like a backpack, the canopy flips over your head and locks in place. Built using waterproof nylon, aluminum rods and glass-filled plastic, the canopy is designed to withstand 40 mph winds without flipping inside out.

When the rain stops, simply pressing two blue buttons on the Nubrella causes the canopy to spring back and store itself on your back like a hood.
