【Rainy Season Measures】Is the stress of moving by car on rainy days resolved with the 330 yen 3COINS "Silicone Magnet Umbrella Holder"?!

The hassle of handling an umbrella when getting in and out of the car on rainy days. Once I fixed the umbrella to the roof of the car with the "Silicone Magnet Umbrella Holder" from 3COINS, the stress disappeared!?

I picked up a 330 yen umbrella holder with half doubt

Even in a life that often uses a car, rainy days are a bit dreary. I unbuckle my seatbelt in the parking lot, prepare my umbrella, and step outside. During that brief few seconds, I get wet from the rain, and every time I fumble a bit.

While balancing the umbrella with one hand and closing the door with my belongings, I know it's a trivial matter, but every time my shoulder gets wet, it subtly dampens my mood. That "half-hearted wetness" is a source of stress, so I want to solve this.

So, I want to find a solution with the "Silicone Magnet Umbrella Holder" I stumbled upon at 3COINS. To be honest, I was initially skeptical, wondering "Will this really make a difference?" But surprisingly, it was quite good.

I wasn't expecting much, but it was stress-free!

The mechanism was surprisingly simple. You just thread the string attached to this umbrella holder between the ribs of the umbrella, tie it, and stick the built-in magnet of the holder to the car roof. This keeps the umbrella securely fixed standing against the roof.

Attaching it to the car takes just a few seconds once you get used to it. When I actually waited for a rainy day to try it out, I was amazed at how smoothly everything settled down just because I didn't have to "hold" the umbrella while getting out.

With my hands free to hold things and close the door, everything became much smoother. The opened umbrella on the roof covers my head securely, so there's no need to rush. That strange urgency I felt to dash to the eaves the moment I got out was gone. It's a small change, but I definitely feel that my mood on rainy days has lightened considerably.

Tips for rainy days: Things I learned through trial and error about the perfect usage.

As I continued to use it, I discovered a few tips. First is the positioning of the main body. If you attach it as far back as possible on the roof, the umbrella remains stable and doesn’t wobble. If it’s too far forward, the umbrella tends to tilt, so just being aware of "a little further back" changes the feeling of security dramatically. This is a subtle yet effective point that I grasped after using it a few times.

Another tip is how to "angle the umbrella." By adjusting the angle slightly forward, it became less likely for rain to come into the space when getting in and out, allowing me to take things in and out without wetting the seats or my belongings. The feeling of being able to set the angle with my own hands was a convenience I only realized after trying it.

What helped the most was getting in and out around the back seat. Since the open space fits perfectly under the umbrella, I can move without worrying about hitting my head.

However, since it is a system that allows the umbrella to be propped up on the roof, it seems like it could easily be swayed on windy days. I believe it’s an item that can truly shine on calm rainy days.

It’s pleasantly surprising, the convenience of keeping it attached

What I found surprisingly helpful is being able to keep the umbrella holder attached to the umbrella. The main body is very light, and it doesn't interfere at all whether the umbrella is opened or closed. At first, I thought, "Isn't it a hassle to have something extra on the umbrella?" but when I tried it, I almost forgot it was there.

Since it's compact, I can keep it attached at all times, and on a rainy day, I won't have to search and think, "Where did I put it?" Being made of soft silicone, I don't have to worry about damaging the car's body or the umbrella itself, so I can handle it without having to be extra careful.

For 330 yen, my stress on rainy days has decreased

Since I started using this holder, the small stress I felt when getting in and out of the car on rainy days has definitely decreased by one. It doesn't have any flashy features; it's just the fact that I can get out without holding an umbrella. Still, when the unnecessary fumbling disappears, the anxiety about rainy days itself softens a bit.

To be honest, I didn't expect to be helped this much for just 330 yen. Those who often move by car should be able to appreciate the value of this small change.
