Pocket Umbrella – Small enough for a bag, built for gusts

A folding umbrella that measures 35 cm packed down and weighs 600 grams. The canopy sheds water and blocks UV to UPF 50+, which makes it useful in bright sun as well as rain. The aluminum frame flexes with a gust instead of folding backwards.

Why choose a pocket umbrella?

A full-size umbrella stays home on exactly the day you need it. This one fits in a bag, so it simply comes along. The canopy does double duty: it keeps rain off and throws shade on sunny days.

Wind-flexing frame: the aluminum ribs give instead of kinking.
UPF 50+: blocks the large majority of UV radiation.
35 cm folded: short enough to stand upright in a backpack.
Non-slip grip: rubber that holds even with wet hands.
Water-shedding canopy: water beads off rather than soaking in.

Forgotten in your bag until the moment you want it.

Fold it away only once it is dry; a wet canopy packed up starts to smell stale. Shake it out and open it indoors for a few minutes instead. In hard side wind, tilt the umbrella into the gust so the tension stays spread evenly across the ribs.
