LAS VEGAS -- If you've amassed a collection of cheap umbrellas due to a year's worth of unexpected downpours,update Archives Oombrella could come as a welcome relief.
The smart umbrella from French start-up Wezzoo works in tandem with an app to tell you when it's going to rain via a smartphone notification. And if you've already left home but are still close by, the umbrella might shoot a notification telling you to come back and grab it. The product -- whose Kickstarter launch we covered back in March -- was on display at 2017 International CES.

That, in addition to other weather sources, determines when the app sends a notification reminding Oombrella owners to take theirs with them.

Wezzoo CEO Clément Guillot tells Mashablethat the company is still tinkering with the weight and material of the umbrella, but should have a final version in the next two weeks. The umbrella comes in three shades -- shiny, black and white -- and will retail for $79.
