"The team at Storm Duds Raingear was excited when we were chosen as the preferred supplier," says Michelle DeMayo, national account manager for Storm Duds Raingear. "Tom Cruise and the cast of 'Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One" used the umbrellas during their global premier with Paramount Pictures in Rome. The umbrella shaded them from the harsh summer sun on the Spanish Steps, by the Piazza di Spagna during photos and an autograph signing. They came in handy again when it began to rain during the evening events."

When asked to supply umbrellas that would work for both sun and rain, Storm Duds chose the Sun Storm umbrella, which has 48" of coverage, wind flow designs to withstand gusts, and inverts when closing to keep the user dry.
