Extra-large · Reinforced · One-button automatic
Two people, one canopy, everybody dry
An extra-large automatic umbrella that opens at the press of a button and keeps you, your bag and the person walking beside you dry through a downpour. Reinforced ribs flex in a gust and spring back, the rain-resistant canopy sheds water, and the ring-buckle handle hangs it anywhere between storms.
At 49 in across, the extra-large covers two adults walking close. At 41 in, the regular covers you and a shoulder bag with room spare. Both fold to about forearm length, so the umbrella that actually keeps you dry is the one you have with you.
The umbrella you are replacing
The pocket one that flips, and the big one you left on the train
A pocket umbrella covers your head and leaves your shoulders and your bag in the rain, then turns inside out the first time the wind catches it. A full-size stick umbrella covers you properly and then spends its life propped in a corner, because it fits in nothing. This one is built to end that trade-off: full-size coverage on a frame that folds into a tote.
Regular
41 in
across (105 cm)
- Folds to 15 in (38 cm)
- 27 in (68 cm) tall open
- One adult plus a shoulder bag, comfortably
Extra-large
49 in
across (125 cm)
- Folds to 16.5 in (42 cm)
- 27 in (68 cm) tall open
- Two adults walking close, or one adult and a backpack with room spare
Widths are the supplier's own dimensioned figures, taken edge to edge across the open canopy. The extra eight inches of the extra-large is four more inches of dry shoulder on each side.
In a gust
Windproof ribs that bend and come back
Every rib is a reinforced jointed rod with a short support strut bracing it back to the shaft. When a gust gets under the canopy, the ribs flex and load up instead of snapping at a joint, then spring back the moment it passes. That is why buyers who have thrown cheap umbrellas away after one storm write things like "Used it during a storm and it didn't flip inside out" and "Strong wind didn't bother it at all."
The six-sided shaft does the other half of the job. A round shaft lets a canopy twist and spin in your hand when wind hits one side; six flats give the mechanism something to key against, so the canopy stays pointed where you point it.
The frame
A six-sided shaft and reinforced jointed ribs
The shaft is a hollow hexagonal aluminium tube with a 0.5 mm wall, per the supplier's specification. Each rib runs from a single hub at the top of the shaft out to the canopy edge in two segments joined by a metal sleeve, with a strut bracing it back to a sliding collar. It is the reinforced folding-frame layout that lets a 49 in canopy pack down to forearm length and still hold its shape in weather.
"The reinforced ribs make a big difference. No bending at all," as one buyer put it. "Finally an umbrella that doesn't break after a month," as another did.
The ring-buckle handle
One button to open, one ring to hang it anywhere
A single button on the flat of the handle springs the canopy open, one-handed, which is the whole point when your other hand is holding a bag, a coffee or a door. Buyers call it "smooth button action" and "opens instantly".
The ring on the end is a hook with a gate that swings open, so it clips over things: a backpack strap while you walk, the peg rail inside the front door, the back of a chair, the grab handle in the car. A wet umbrella finally has somewhere to be other than the bottom of your bag.
The canopy
Rain-resistant on top, UV-blocking underneath
The canopy is a single unvented layer: your colour on the outside, an opaque matt black lining on the inside. Rain runs off the top rather than soaking in, and on a bright day the black lining blocks the glare that comes through a thin translucent canopy, so it earns its keep in summer sun as well as winter rain.
It is one sealed layer, so the frame carries the whole wind load, which is why the frame is the part this page spends its words on. Buyers' verdict: "The canopy is massive and really blocks rain well" and "Keeps rain off perfectly."

Off duty
Where it lives between storms
Clipped to the strap
The ring hooks straight over a backpack or tote strap, so it travels on the outside and keeps everything inside the bag dry.
Hung on the peg
Hooks onto a coat rail like a coat. It drips onto the mat, and it is the first thing your hand finds on the way out.
Off the floor
Loops over a grab handle or a headrest post and stays put. "I keep it in my car all the time," one buyer wrote.

It is a full-size canopy, so it rides in a tote, a backpack or on the strap outside rather than in a coat pocket.
Questions
Straight answers
How does it handle wind?
The reinforced jointed ribs flex under a gust and spring back rather than snapping, and the six-sided shaft keeps the canopy from twisting in your hand. Buyers report exactly that: "Strong wind didn't bother it at all" and "Used it during a storm and it didn't flip inside out."
Which size should I get?
Regular at 41 in (105 cm) covers one adult and a bag. Extra-large at 49 in (125 cm) covers two people walking close together. The extra-large costs you an inch and a half of folded length, so if you have the bag space, take the bigger one.
How does it open?
Unfasten the fabric band, press the single button on the flat of the handle, and the canopy springs open one-handed. Fold it down by hand and fasten the band when you are done.
How do I carry it?
By the ring. Clip the ring-buckle handle over a bag strap and it travels on the outside, drips dry on the way, and keeps the inside of your bag dry. At home it hangs on a peg like a coat.
What is it made of?
An aluminium frame per the supplier, with a hollow six-sided shaft (0.5 mm wall), reinforced jointed ribs with support struts, and a single-layer rain-resistant canopy with a matt black UV-blocking underside.
Will it fit in a bag?
Yes. Folded it is 15 in (38 cm) or 16.5 in (42 cm), roughly forearm length, so it goes into a tote, a backpack's main compartment or a laptop bag's outer pocket, or clips to the strap on the outside.
