Mini Umbrella – Lives in the side pocket of your bag until the sky turns

An umbrella that folds down to 19 centimeters and weighs about 250 grams. The canopy is waterproof and blocks direct sunlight, which makes it useful in two kinds of weather. A pouch comes with it so a wet umbrella does not sit loose against everything else.

Why small wins

A full-size umbrella is reliably at home the moment it starts raining. This one is small enough that you never have to decide whether to bring it. In summer the same canopy works as shade over your head.

• 19 cm folded: stands upright in a handbag, a backpack or a coat pocket.
• About 250 grams: light enough to forget it is in there.
• Waterproof canopy: rain runs off and does not work through the seams.
• Sun blocking: gives you shade on a bright stretch of sidewalk or terrace.
• Carry pouch: keeps the rest of the bag dry after a shower.

Small enough to always have with you, big enough to stay dry under.

Open it out and let it dry before you put it back in the pouch. The ribs are short, so in strong wind hold it low over your head rather than out at arm's length. Shake the canopy out instead of rubbing it dry.
