How the Brella was Discovered
Why a Brella?
What's Unique about the Brella?
The Brella is unique from other rain coats because you have:

- universal fit … one size fits most
- the option to adjust the fit around the waist
- total waterproof protection from head-to-waist

The Brella integrates the best features of a rain jacket and a poncho into one high quality rain jacket:

What do Waterproof Ratings Mean?
We sell performance and Time in the Rain™. Most Brellas have a 20,000mm waterproof rating and Gore-tex has a 28,000mm rating so we are close in performance but at a more affordable price.
Ratings:
The higher the mm number, the longer the rain jacket can withstand rain intensity + pressure:
Protection rating mm
- Water resistant 0-2K

- Brella 2020 20K
- Gore-Tex® 28K Generally 2X - 4X more expensive than a Brella
