![tour guide umbrella Answer the Tour Guide side quest questions to get the Umbrella](https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/rxfPhVgyFzCbPHLqf_Z-VSpUBak=/0x0:2480x1200/1200x800/filters:focal(1042x402:1438x798)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/66221250/Temtem_Tour_Guide_Umbrella_3.0.jpg)
Balancing the strengths and weaknesses of types in Temtem will ensure you survive tough fights and become a successful Temtem tamer.
There are items that will help you along the way, like the Coward’s Cloak . Another item to pick up in Arissola is the Umbrella . We’ll help you complete the “Tour Guide” side quest and explain how to use your reward below.
Tour Guide walkthrough
The Umbrella is a reward for completing the “Tour Guide” side quest in Arissola. Look for the Tour Operator just to the west of the Temporium . She’s standing near a group of six NPCs waiting to take the tour.
![tour guide umbrella](https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/gTtWsxSbYzslmGffPua6_1uA1Oc=/0x0:2880x1622/1200x0/filters:focal(0x0:2880x1622):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/19658999/Temtem_Tour_Guide_Umbrella_1.jpg)
Talk to her, and say you’ll give the guided tour. Head to the group of NPCs to start.
You’ll have to choose five responses to successfully complete the quest. You can pick up most of the information by wandering around town and paying close attention to conversations. Or you can just read on.
In order, the responses are:
- Welcome ladies and gentlemen … — any answer
- It was described for the first time by an ancient poet … — Pasiphaë of Turquesa (You learn this from the plaque at the pond in the northeast corner of the city.)
- That majestic massif of red rock you can see towards the south, on the way to Brical de Mar, is called … — Thalassian Cliffs
- What’s on the other side of the river? — The town of Turquesa
- What do you recommend we visit next? — any answer
Return to the Tour Operator, and she’ll reward you with an Umbrella .
Using the Umbrella
Go into your Backpack , tab over to Gear , select the Umbrella , and then pick which Temtem in your squad should carry it. Once equipped, the Temtem carrying it will take 20% less damage from Water type attacks.

By Claire Volkman
![tour guide umbrella Image may contain City Urban Person Architecture Building High Rise Canopy and Housing](https://media.cntraveler.com/photos/6619650c3180aa9d0f7b2492/16:9/w_2560%2Cc_limit/Umbrellas-2024_GettyImages-1304329361-copy.jpg)

The one thing that I absolutely never forget to pack: a travel umbrella. No matter where I’m going, except for the Wadi Rum or the Sahara Desert maybe, there’s bound to be some inclement weather. Rain, sleet, thunderstorms; no destination is without them. Having an umbrella on hand allows you to keep your travel plans intact, and even see the sights in some places without all the crowds.
However, the task of picking an umbrella is about as daunting as picking a suitcase . With about a million options to choose from and all of them claiming to be “the best travel umbrella,” it’s no wonder so many just pick the cheapest option and go. However, not all umbrellas are created equally—as anyone who has found themselves with one completely inverted during a torrential downpour will tell you. Below, we’ve rounded up the best of the best travel umbrellas, keeping features like durability, wind-resistance, and size in mind.
This article has been updated with new information since its original publish date.
Discover the best travel umbrellas:
- Best overall: Weatherman travel umbrella
- Most compact: Davek The Davek mini
- Best for cities: Amy's Automatic umbrella
- Most affordable: Repel windproof travel umbrella
- Most durable: Blunt Metro umbrella
- Best splurge: Pasotti Tropical umbrella
- Most lightweight: Totes mini manual umbrella
- Best patterns: Rifle Paper Company umbrella
- Most wind-resistant: Davek Elite umbrella
- Most sustainable: Totes recycled canopy umbrella
Best overall travel umbrella

Why we love it : Sturdy, wind-resistant, lightweight, and incredibly compact, the Weatherman travel umbrella is undeniably the best on the market. This umbrella has a serious fanbase, with hundreds of nearly perfect reviews on Amazon. It is surprisingly lightweight, and can easily fit in a carry-on or tote bag . It has an automatic open and close feature, a reinforced fiberglass base, and a water-resistant, Teflon-coated fabric. Plus, it shields winds up to 45 MPH and is tough enough to withstand even the heaviest of rainfall.
Worth noting : There aren’t many things to complain about this umbrella, however, it is a bit pricey coming in at $69. However, with a lifetime warranty, it’s well worth the splurge.
Dimensions: Open diameter: 38"; Closed length: 12" Weight: 0.85 oz. Carrying sleeve included: Yes

Why we love it: When they say mini, they mean mini. The Davek Mini is so small and compact that it fits in the palm of your hand. Measuring less than 7 inches when closed, you can easily stash this umbrella in your carry-on, backpack , or even a jacket pocket. Plus, it weighs less than a pound, making it almost unnoticeable when not in use. Made from reinforced fiberglass, it also comes in 10 bright colors so you can coordinate your umbrella with the rest of your outfit.
Worth noting: Because of its size, the canopy doesn’t provide overwhelming coverage. Additionally, it’s not built for extreme storms and functions best in light showers.
Dimensions : Open diameter: 38"; Closed length: 7"
Weight : 0.8 oz.
Carrying sleeve included : Yes
Best for cities
![tour guide umbrella Image may contain: Clothing, Apparel, Lifejacket, Vest, Shirt, Text, and Label](https://media.cntraveler.com/photos/62b121c30c47b505aad959dd/master/w_1280%2Cc_limit/Umbrellas-2022_Amys%2520Automatic%2520Umbrella%2520with%2520UV%2520Protection.jpg)
Why we love it : With a sleek and stylish small wooden or plastic handle, this lightweight umbrella features a wind-defying 8-rib canopy that’s also UPF 50+ certified, meaning it provides adequate sun protection, too. Small enough to walk down the busy streets of Chicago during a rainstorm without the awkward “bump and sideswipe,” it fits easily in a work tote, briefcase, or backpack. Plus, it features an automatic open and close, and comes in over a dozen bright and bold patterns and colorways, making it easy to stand out in a sea of black and blue canopies. It also comes with a five-year global warranty and is pretty affordable at only $40.
Worth noting: It’s small enough to fit in your hand, which means the canopy doesn’t offer premium protection in heavy rainstorms.
Dimensions : Open diameter: 38.1"; Closed length: 21.6"
Weight : 0.76 oz.
Most affordable
![tour guide umbrella Image may contain: Umbrella, and Canopy](https://media.cntraveler.com/photos/62b121c43ec0e6d34e5a6923/master/w_1280%2Cc_limit/Umbrellas-2022_Repel%2520Umbrella%2520Windproof%2520Travel%2520Umbrella.jpg)
Why we love it : You can’t go wrong with this incredibly durable, lightweight, and affordable Repel travel umbrella. With over 36,000 4.5-star Amazon reviews, this is an overwhelming crowd favorite among travelers, worker bees, families, and everyone in between. I tested the durability during a heavy summer rainstorm in Chicago, and it stood up surprisingly well thanks to its 9-rib canopy, heavy-duty Teflon-coated fabric, and non-slip rubber grip. Plus, the automatic open and close feature makes it super easy to go in and out of buildings and restaurants without getting soaked or stuck. Another thing to note was how well it stood up to Chicago’s infamous winds—not bending, flipping, or even flapping during big gusts. The best part? It’s only $27 on Amazon and comes in 10 colors.
Worth noting: We didn’t find any problems with the umbrella, but some reviewers found that it didn’t stand up to heavier winds and isn't as lightweight as other comparable brands.
Dimensions : Open diameter: 42"; Closed length: 11.5"
Weight : 0.93 oz.
Carrying sleeve included : No
Most durable
![tour guide umbrella Image may contain: Umbrella, and Canopy](https://media.cntraveler.com/photos/62b121c3504de42b6ca7ab92/master/w_1280%2Cc_limit/Umbrellas-2022_Blunt%2520Metro.jpg)
Why we love it : This heavy-duty umbrella stands up to even the strongest rainstorms, and offers supreme coverage thanks to its patented wind-tip rounded edges, which work like mini umbrellas. It’s also built with a 360-degree spinning canopy which prevents it from breaking when dropped or knocked over. It’s extremely wind-resistant and has been tested to withstand the winds and rains of a category one hurricane. It’s also made from rip-resistant pongee fabric that is also super quick to dry, so you can easily go back indoors without needing a plastic cover.
Worth noting: This umbrella only features six ribs, which means it's smaller than Blunt’s other umbrellas.
Dimensions : Open diameter: 39"; Closed length: 15"
Weight : 0.85 oz.
Best splurge
![tour guide umbrella Image may contain: Canopy, and Umbrella](https://media.cntraveler.com/photos/661d4aafcebbd1dceaf01298/master/w_1280%2Cc_limit/Artemest_TROPICAL-UMBRELLA-WITH-BAMBOO-HANDLE---DOUBLE-CLOTH%2520(1).jpg)
Why we love it : If looking chic is just as important as staying dry, this is the umbrella for you. Handcrafted by Italian umbrella maker Pasotti, the canopy will stop people in their tracks—with a beautiful tropical pattern in sage, gold, and dark green. When I was walking in downtown Chicago, I had four people stop to ask me about this umbrella (and then a few ask to buy it from me). Although I originally gravitated to this umbrella for its looks, the functionality is why it’s my absolute go-to. The canopy extends 102 centimeters and has a 93 centimeter shaft, meaning I’m not going to get pelted by rain when it’s windy (which is everyday in Chicago).
Worth noting: At $275, this is by far the most expensive on the list.
Dimensions : Open diameter: 40"
Most lightweight
![tour guide umbrella Image may contain: Canopy, and Umbrella](https://media.cntraveler.com/photos/661d4ae1ac74d1de7ea07706/master/w_1280%2Cc_limit/TOTES-MICRO-MINI-PURSE-MANUAL-UMBRELLA-MANY-STYLES-(Black-Square).jpg)
Why we love it : They weren’t kidding when they said this is one of the most lightweight umbrellas on the market, weighing only 8 ounces. Small enough to fit into most purses , carry-ons, totes, and computer bags, this umbrella doesn’t take up any more space than it needs too. One drawback with the size is that you need to activate the canopy manually (no quick release button). However, the handle is sturdy and the canopy provides ample coverage for most light-to-moderate rain storms. I love the fact that it comes in multiple colors and patterns, and the price makes it easy to stock up on a few (only $25 at Amazon).
Worth noting: Due to the size, it’s not super wind-resistant and wouldn’t be a great pick if you’re facing a heavy downpour or storm.
Dimensions : Open diameter: 43"; Closed length: 11.2"
Weight : 7.8 ounces
Best patterns
![tour guide umbrella Image may contain: Canopy, Umbrella, Architecture, Building, House, Housing, Patio, and Patio Umbrella](https://media.cntraveler.com/photos/661d4ae1785d665ae2bb1a7c/master/w_1280%2Cc_limit/Rifle-&Co.jpg)
Why we love it : If you’re someone who buys a bottle of wine based on the label, these umbrellas are for you. Known for its bold, whimsical, and delicate patterns and floral designs, Rifle Paper Company’s umbrellas are true works of art. Each umbrella also features a sleek wooden handle and an automatic open/close feature.
Worth noting: This is not the umbrella to buy if you’re looking for durability, extreme wind resistance, or more bells and whistles. This basic umbrella provides decent coverage in light rain, but isn’t meant for heavy winds or downpours.
Dimensions : Open diameter: 43"; Closed length: 11"
Most wind-resistant
![tour guide umbrella Image may contain: Umbrella, Canopy, and Tent](https://media.cntraveler.com/photos/62b121c63ec0e6d34e5a6925/master/w_1280%2Cc_limit/Umbrellas-2022_THE%2520DAVEK%2520ELITE.jpg)
Why we love it : There’s a reason 81 people have given this umbrella a nearly perfect rating on Amazon—it actually holds up. Sure, it may be a splurge at $159, but it is well worth the price tag when you see how it holds up. Surprisingly compact, the canopy extends 50 inches, giving you extreme protection against even heavy rains. Plus, it’s small enough to fit in a carry-on, backpack, or large tote bag. The fabric is 201-thread count, making it luxurious to touch but also extremely powerful against rain. The best feature is the wind-tension frame system, which can withstand heavy winds and prevent inversion. We tested this against a very blustery 55 MPH wind day in Chicago, and there was barely any flapping or movement at all from the tough canopy.
Worth noting: It’s expensive, but comes with a lifetime warranty and replacement guarantee.
Dimensions : Open diameter: 50"; Closed length: 35"
Weight : 1 lb.
Most sustainable
![tour guide umbrella Image may contain: Umbrella, and Canopy](https://media.cntraveler.com/photos/62b121c70c47b505aad959e1/master/w_1280%2Cc_limit/Umbrellas-2022_Totes%2520Recycled%2520PET%2520Eco-Friendly%2520Umbrella%2520with%2520NeverWet.jpg)
Why we love it : Shopping sustainably is more important now than ever, and that extends to umbrellas, too. Tote’s recycled umbrella is made from 100 percent Recycled PET plastics, equating to about 7.5 recycled water bottles per umbrella. The handle and strap are also made from all renewable resources, like bamboo and hemp, and the production process uses less water overall. In terms of coverage, the Pet umbrella features Tote’s patented NeverWet invisible coating allowing the rain to drip off the umbrella 4 percent faster, leaving you with a drier umbrella once indoors.
Worth noting: Its compact design makes it easy to travel with, however, doesn’t provide a ton of additional coverage beyond your person.
Dimensions : Open diameter: 43"; Closed length: 11.5"
Weight : 1.15 lbs.

To find the best travel umbrellas that stand up to wind and rain, experts in the Good Housekeeping Institute 's Textiles, Paper & Apparel Lab reviewed hundreds of data points from a previous umbrella test and considered models from trending brands.
Our top picks:

best compact and lightweight travel umbrella
Totes mini manual umbrella.
We test travel products of all kinds from the best beach umbrellas to the best beach chairs and feature top products and destinations in our Good Housekeeping Family Travel Awards . When testing umbrellas, we pay close attention to ease of use, performance and durability, and even conduct a spray test to stimulate a light rain shower in Lab. While we haven't tested every travel umbrella in this round-up, we scoured shoppers' reviews to better understand how the product held up in daily life.
Read on to learn more about our top-rated travel umbrellas of all styles and prices, as well as advice on what to consider when shopping for a new mini umbrella.
GH Institute's Executive Director of Strategy & Operations, Lexie Sachs , has been using this smaller version of our top-tested umbrella for the past year. "It’s not the smallest umbrella to pack on the go, but it’s compact enough to easily fit into a tote bag or backpack," she says. The umbrella provides enough coverage to keep you dry, and it's sturdy when the wind and rain pick up. Yellow is a classic color for rainwear, but if you want a more neutral black or a bright pink , the umbrella is available in other colors too. The Samsonite umbrella is also top-rated on Amazon. One five-star review says, "We have had very heavy, windy rainstorms in my area over the past few months. This umbrella has held up very well in the rain and winds."
Dimensions: 12" folded | Weight: 0.82 lbs.
This umbrella is a popular choice on Amazon with over 5,500 reviews. It's also under $10, which means you can stay dry while sticking to your travel budget. What's more? The manufacturer claims the umbrella can fit in a pocket or purse! Choose from over two dozen colors to match your umbrella with your favorite raincoat and rain boots . One satisfied shopper writes, "I knew we would be sightseeing and wanted something compact that I could carry around and pop out when needed. This did the trick!" While this umbrella is super compact and affordable, one GH editor who bought the umbrella for a semester abroad found it to be hard to open and noticed it wasn't as wind-resistant as other models.
Dimensions: 7.6" x 4.84" x 2.09" | Weight: 6.7 oz.
When we tested the Totes mini umbrella, we found that it provided good coverage and was compact enough to fit into small purses and bags. While we are fans of this lightweight pick, it is a manual umbrella so you can't open and close via a button. Still, our evaluation found it to be a durable pick and we like the easy-to-grip rubber handle. Choose from seven cute patterns, including polka dots and cheetah print. One five-star review writes, "I took this on my trip to Italy and it worked perfectly without taking up much space in my bag. Love it!"
Dimensions: 6.2" x 1.9" x 1.7" | Weight: 8 oz.
Weatherman Travel Umbrella
![Travel Umbrella Travel Umbrella](https://hips.hearstapps.com/vader-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/1705515330-61gRn8IIRbL.jpg?crop=1xw:1.00xh;center,top&resize=980:*)
Although this is one of the more expensive travel umbrellas in our guide, it comes packed with convenient features we love, and can it stand up against gusts of wind. "I’ve used this travel size one a bunch of times and it’s held up really well," says Sachs. We appreciate the auto open/close and comfortable handle plus a wrist strap for easy holding while your hands are full. Despite its small design, the umbrella still provides good coverage. One satisfied shopper writes they took it to Wellington, New Zealand and the Scottish highlands, fairly wet climates, and reported that "it took both total downpours and heavy drizzles with ease."
Dimensions: 13" x 2.5" x 2.5" | Weight: 0.85 lbs
Rifle Paper Co. Garden Party Umbrella
![Garden Party Umbrella Garden Party Umbrella](https://hips.hearstapps.com/vader-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/1705515488-714REABsRSL.jpg?crop=0.834xw:1xh;center,top&resize=980:*)
At the end of the day, an umbrella is also an accessory. If you want to make a fashion statement — and not lose track of yours in a crowded umbrella stand — opt for an umbrella with a unique pattern. The five available floral patterns plus a cute option with drawings of houses and trees bring classic teardrop and polka dot patterns to a whole new level. A wooden handle adds to the luxe look and the auto open/close mechanism makes for easy use. We haven't tested this model yet, but one five-star review writes: "This umbrella is just gorgeous. The colors are vivid and bright." It isn't the most expensive umbrella on our list, but it is definitely above average in cost.
Dimensions: Not listed | Weight: Not listed
Repel The Original Portable Travel Umbrella
![The Original Portable Travel Umbrella The Original Portable Travel Umbrella](https://hips.hearstapps.com/vader-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/1705515667-1579716338-vdayumbrella-1579716328.jpg?crop=0.667xw:1xh;center,top&resize=980:*)
This Amazon's Choice umbrella has an impressive 72,650 online reviews with an overall 4.5-star rating. One satisfied customer writes, "This umbrella is the best I’ve owned so far. It’s huge and the water slides right off it. You just shake the umbrella and it’s no longer wet." Available in nine colors and packs of one, two, three or four, this Repel umbrella is a popular choice among shoppers — and it's under $25! The brand claims that you can fit it in your pocket or small purse. While we appreciate the size and price point, Lab analysts found it to be less flip-resistant than other models we've tested, with one noting that it inverted during their first time using it.
Dimensions: 11.5" folded | Weight: 15 oz.
Tumi Small Auto Close Umbrella
![Small Auto Close Umbrella Small Auto Close Umbrella](https://hips.hearstapps.com/vader-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/1705517938-13378108_fpx.jpg?crop=1.00xw:0.801xh;0,0.142xh&resize=980:*)
While this is the most expensive travel umbrella included in our list, the splurge can be worth it if you travel often for work and need a high-quality product that'll look chic in your work backpack . It opens and closes with the push of a button, and the subtle red accents and reflective trim set it apart. We also like the rubberized carrying strap for a better grip, and it won't absorb water. The luxury umbrella would make a practical gift for the frequent traveler in your life.
Dimensions: 11.25" x 2.75" x 2.5" | Weight: 0.74 lbs
![Mini Mini](https://hips.hearstapps.com/vader-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/1705516616-1668720502-the-davek-mini-our-most-compact-1668720498.jpg?crop=1xw:1.00xh;center,top&resize=980:*)
Davek is a popular brand among umbrella shoppers on Reddit , and the Mini is its smallest model that can fit in a handbag, clutch or pocket. It's available in 10 solid colors and has nice design features like a stylish handle and color-coordinated carry loop. While we appreciate the lightweight design you can store in your bag, we wish that it was more affordable. The frame appears less sturdy than other pricey models and a manual open/close may not be as easy to use compared to an automatic umbrella. That all said, the sleek and minimalistic umbrella fits in the palm of your hand and is nice and sleek.
Dimensions: 7" folded | Weight: 8 oz.
What to consider when buying a travel umbrella
![linebreak linebreak](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/2022-listicle-linebreak-1644866776.jpg?crop=1.00xw:0.463xh;0,0.259xh&resize=980:*)
✔️ Size: A travel umbrella will have a shorter canopy diameter than a full-size umbrella. While you lose some coverage, a smaller model means it takes up less space in your suitcase, purse or work bag. If you have a specific bag you plan to store it in, pay attention to the folded dimensions listed by the manufacturer.
✔️ Weight: Similar to size, travel umbrellas tend to be lighter weight than large umbrellas. This again helps with packing light, but it can mean that the umbrella feels less sturdy and may not hold up as well against rough winds.
✔️ Material: Umbrellas are made of synthetic fabrics (e.g., nylon or polyester) that have waterproof coatings so rain slides off easily.
✔️ Vents: These are small openings in the umbrella's canopy that help wind flow through to decrease the likelihood of your umbrella flips inside out. Note that vents are typically more common in full-size umbrellas.
✔️ Features: There are a few additional features to look out for when choosing the right umbrella for you. When it comes to the opening mechanism, the majority of our top-rated picks have an automatic open/close design so you can simply push a button. A few styles have a manual design that requires you to open and close the umbrella yourself. Another minor feature we like is an included case so you can keep your umbrella covered while traveling.

The Best Travel Umbrella To Keep You Dry in 2024
When you’re on the road, the only weather guarantee you can count on is the fact that nobody can predict what’s coming. Forecasts are subject to change, and things can go from sunny to sour in a heartbeat.
For high-spirited travellers, a bit of rain is nothing a good hot choccy can’t fix, but for some of the gear we take with us everywhere we go, a poorly-timed shower can erase hard drives and permanently destroy expensive equipment.
Luckily, there’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad planning. Travellers ready for anything won’t leave the house without a good Travel Umbrella to better protect their bags, gear, and phone from all sorts of weather.
Even tropical paradises change quickly in the rainy season, and before you know it, the clouds start rolling in. We’ve all felt the feeling of horror as the first few drops land around you and knowing you won’t make it home in time!! This is where a good quality umbrella comes in!!
Carry peace of mind with you wherever you go with one of the best travel umbrellas on the market. These slimline protection fit in any gear bag or campervan and can quickly step in to save the day.

The repel brand has earned acclaim across the world for its durability and quality design, and this travel umbrella is its flagship model.
Let’s be honest, using an umbrella in blustery weather is a nightmare, but this windproof umbrella with its double canopy can repel strong winds without blowing inside out! When you’re looking for a compact travel umbrella you often have to compromise but here, no way!
Thanks to their lifetime replacement guarantee, this affordable umbrella should be the last one you ever have to buy. In addition, the Repel windproof travel umbrella package comes with a travel case so your rain protection can easily fit into the most miniature carry-on bags.

We can be heroes with the right equipment in our pocket, and the convenient hardshell case allows your lightweight travel umbrella to be protected while compacting down to fit into even the smallest pack, even a travel purse .
Once unravelled, the travel umbrella promises best-in-class rain coverage thanks to comprehensive and robust ribs and Teflon coverage. Even though it’s one of the most compact umbrellas out there, it will still withstand some strong winds and is a great option if you’re looking for a windproof umbrella.
With the same lifetime guarantee as the Repel windproof travel umbrella, the only reason the HERO travel umbrella isn’t higher on the list is the slightly larger price point. However, travellers looking to invest in an extra splash of coverage can rely on this option to help stay dry. It might just be the only umbrella you’ll have to buy!
#3 – Best Wind Protection: Goothdurs Windproof Travel Umbrella
![tour guide umbrella tour guide umbrella](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/fly-images/727320/71neKE-vH3L._AC_SL1500_-574x300.jpg)

With a simple yet colourful design scheme and top-notch reinforcements in the right places, this windproof travel umbrella is protection made interesting. The umbrella uses a mix of alloy steel and carbon fibre to strengthen its ribs while remaining one of the most lightweight options on the market.
We gave this Goothdurs Umbrella incredibly high rain-resistant ratings thanks to the Pongee material used in the outer layer, also giving the umbrella its signature look. The fabric naturally repels even the strongest showers. With a double canopy, you’re not going to be caught out any time with this compact travel umbrella.

![tour guide umbrella Glamore Inverted Umbrella](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/fly-images/406168/Glamore-Inverted-Umbrella-574x300.jpg)
LANBRELLA Inverted Umbrella is one of the most convenient umbrella
- 42 inches wide
- 32 inches long
This umbrella thinks a bit differently. The handle slips right over your wrist which allows you easy access to your phone or an ice cream cone while the umbrella is in operation.
When it’s time for storage, you won’t find anything more convenient than LANBRELLAs inside-out design. No one wants a wet umbrella in their backpack!
Flip this umbrella over, and it will completely seal off the damp side of the product from the rest of your possessions until you get home. This umbrella can’t entirely fold in half, but the inverted design still makes it a compact umbrella.
The cherry on top is the luminous band on the outside edges of the otherwise black umbrella that allows you to be spotted quickly crossing dark streets at night. Packed full of new features, there’s something for everyone in this option, making it one of the best umbrellas on the market.
#5 – Most Stylish: Kate Spade Raindrop Travel Umbrella
![tour guide umbrella Kate Spade Raindrop Travel Umbrella](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/fly-images/406172/Kate-Spade-Raindrop-Travel-Umbrella-574x300.jpg)

#6 – Best Lightweight: Umenice Automatic Travel Umbrella
![tour guide umbrella Umenice Automatic Travel Umbrella](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/fly-images/406176/Umenice-Automatic-Travel-Umbrella-574x300.jpg)
Umenice Automatic Travel Umbrella is our pick for best lightweight umbrella
- 39 inches wide
This lightweight umbrella still expands for enough coverage to protect two people and is favoured by travellers who take every ounce seriously. Tucked inside its travel case, you can slide this travel umbrella into a purse or jean pocket and carry rain protection everywhere you go. It might just be the best most compact travel umbrella on the market for those packing light.
While it lacks Teflon or other high-performance features to make it a completely windproof umbrella, it’s still made out of steel and fibreglass materials that won’t crumble at the first gust.
Even the most lightweight backpackers can find the space necessary to bring along this compact travel umbrella. If you’re specifically looking for portable umbrellas then this brolly is gonna get the job done.
#7 – Best Casing: BodyGuard Travel Umbrella
![tour guide umbrella BodyGuard Travel Umbrella](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/fly-images/406180/BodyGuard-Travel-Umbrella-574x300.jpg)
Our pick for best casing umbrella is BodyGuard Travel Umbrella
- 13.3 inches long
- 37 inches wide
Each rib on your travel umbrella will help to protect you from windy conditions better, so it’s never a bad idea to bring along a few extra. Unlike most travel umbrellas which feature eight ribs, this bodyguard spreads its rain coverage across ten ribs to provide more wind resistance.
The extra ribs better protect the Teflon technology that is spread across the canopy, allowing water to wick off quickly and helping the umbrella dry faster than the competition. Once it’s dried up, it fits nicely inside the included leather case for a fashionable and protected look.
While slightly more expensive than some industry-leading options, this travel umbrella packs plenty of safety features to justify an extra few bucks. You’re really getting a quality umbrella here for the money.
#8 – Most Variety: Lewis N. Clark Travel Umbrella
![tour guide umbrella Lewis N Clark Travel Umbrella](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/fly-images/406184/Lewis-N-Clark-Travel-Umbrella-574x300.jpg)
Lewis N. Clark Travel Umbrella is our pick for most variety umbrella
- 11 inches long
- 38 inches wide
Lewis N. Clark surely wished they had the technologies included in this travel umbrella when they first crossed the country, as the rain coverage in this travel tool will make any trip better. The umbrella folds up smaller than some of the best travel umbrellas on the market, and when it’s time to use it, the wide diameter keeps everything dry.
All of this in an affordable package makes the umbrella a no-brainer, and the company’s one-year guarantee will make sure you get your money’s worth. Is it the best compact umbrella on the market? Quite possibly!
You can choose between a variety of fun colours or stick to black. No matter what colour you pick, you’ll have lightweight rain protection that can survive winds up to 30 mph.
#9 – Best Quick Dry: EEZ-Y Travel Umbrella
![tour guide umbrella EEZ Y Travel Umbrella](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/fly-images/406189/EEZ-Y-Travel-Umbrella-574x300.jpg)
EEZ-Y Travel Umbrella is one of the best quick dry umbrella
Another option that isn’t trying to do too much, this easy travel umbrella won’t save you from a tropical storm, but it can hold its own in most rain showers. The umbrella has venting technology across the entire double canopy, which allows the umbrella to dry faster than the competition.
This feature also allows wind to blow through without carrying you away. The vented double canopy still folds up to an incredibly compact size, and a reinforced steel frame should last a lifetime.
It’s not as wide as the best umbrellas on this list, but its affordability and variety of protection features still make this quality umbrella a great addition to any travel arsenal.
#10 – Most Affordable: AmazonBasics Automatic Travel Umbrella
![tour guide umbrella AmazonBasics Automatic Travel Umbrella](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/fly-images/406190/AmazonBasics-Automatic-Travel-Umbrella-574x300.jpg)
Our pick for most affordable umbrella is AmazonBasics Automatic Travel Umbrella
- 11.2 inches long
If you’re not expecting much out of your travel umbrella, you won’t need more than the basics. Amazon has provided enough lightweight features in a compact body to provide a quality travel umbrella as long as you’re not expecting much wind.
The umbrella includes button-operated open and close features and still provides full-sized protection despite rolling up into an 11-inch package. Unfortunately, while slim and protective, you won’t find any durable materials on this product, with a simple steel alloy frame.
It might not be the best umbrella out there, but if you get caught in a drizzle from time to time, having this travel umbrella in your bag will prevent a bad day from getting worse.
![tour guide umbrella tour guide umbrella](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/fly-images/468144/rei-gift-card-plug-crop-800x800.jpg)
Now, you could spend a fat chunk of $$$ on the WRONG present for someone. Wrong size hiking boots, wrong fit backpack, wrong shape sleeping bag… As any adventurer will tell you, gear is a personal choice.
So give the adventurer in your life the gift of convenience: buy them an REI Co-op gift card! REI is The Broke Backpacker’s retailer of choice for ALL things outdoors, and an REI gift card is the perfect present you can buy from them. And then you won’t have to keep the receipt. 😉
If you stick around long enough, there’s bound to be some rain. The perfect travel umbrella is small enough that you don’t notice it in your bag for months but is ready to open up and protect you and your gear in a flash.
When it’s time to open up your umbrella, you won’t want to spend your walk home fighting with the wind either. The best umbrella stands up to not only the rain but won’t flip inside out at the slightest breeze!
Strong wind gusts are your umbrella’s worst nightmare, and if you don’t have the right travel umbrella, your protection could be gone with the wind! Think, Mary Poppins gone wrong!
Umbrella companies have taken measures to provide compact but resilient travel companions that offer varying levels of the following characteristics. Great umbrellas balance protection, hardiness, and compactness with keeping the costs down to qualify as a contending product.
Let’s be honest, even if you’ve got the best travel bag out there, you still don’t want to risk it getting soaked wet if it’s got your expensive laptop and travel camera inside!
What’s the point of an umbrella if it is not good at protecting you? Protection should be the deciding factor when you are searching for the perfect travel umbrella.
Every travel umbrella may hold its own in a minor rain shower, but few can handle gale-force winds.
If you’re expecting some foul weather, look for stainless steel frames and ribs that are malleable but resilient. Blending these frames with Teflon-coated exterior layers or flexible fibreglass allows certain high-tech travel umbrellas to tolerate windy conditions better. Some umbrellas also have a double canopy to allow wind to move through without catching in the canopy.
Travel umbrellas that promise to be windproof can stay in shape through winds up to 60 mph. If you’re experiencing winds any more robust than that, I highly suggest you get inside immediately!
The best brands have battle-tested their brolly’s in various laboratory conditions to prove their worth on a windy day, and others have sacrificed a few high-performance pieces to be extraordinarily lightweight or compact.
Compactness
Every travel umbrella seeks to find the perfect balance between compact size and complete rain protection. You’ll have to decide for yourself how much space in your luggage you’re willing to sacrifice for a larger canopy.
A quality travel umbrella should fold up by telescoping to take up less precious cargo space, squeezing down to packages about a foot long. All of the umbrellas on our list can compact themselves to fit easily in any carry-on luggage.
These compact umbrellas are made lightweight to fit into more bags using light metals and sacrificing some canopy reach compared to an everyday parasol. Look for travel umbrellas to only weigh around one pound, while some of the best-in-class options are closer to half a pound.
Juxtapose the weight with your coverage requirements. Umbrella enthusiasts agree that a 23 inches canopy is the minimum length necessary to protect one person. However, you’ll want your canopy to tack on a few inches if you expect it to guard your bags as well as your body.
Finding the perfect blend to these stats is the recipe for a great travel companion. If your Bumbershoot is too big, it might be tempting to leave it out of your day pack, which could be a fatal mistake.
On the other hand, an umbrella that is too small to protect you and your belongings entirely is useless no matter how little space it takes up.
Whether it’s facing the wind, rain, sleet, or grumpy baggage handlers, you’ll need a travel umbrella that can take a beating. Luckily, some of the most lightweight metals have also proven themselves capable of absorbing a few punches.
Fibreglass steel and Teflon will provide the hardiest protection, followed closely by lightweight aluminium alloy. Ideally, your umbrella will have a combination of a few of these elements that allow it to stay light and strong.
If you don’t want to buy a new umbrella every year, it’s worth investing a few extra dollars into a high-quality product that combines these metals. Cheap substitutes can talk a big game but can often snap after a few weeks in the bottom of your luggage.
Some of the best travel umbrellas on the market take protection a step further by providing a tough yet packable case that makes it easier to safely and compactly store your umbrella.

Do I really need a travel umbrella?

Tour Guide Quest in Temtem - Umbrella Location
Home » Temtem » Tour Guide Quest in Temtem – Umbrella Location
Temtem Tour Guide quest is a side quest that you can complete for the tour operator NPC in Arrisola and earn the Umbrella gear item. To complete the Tour Guide side quest in Temtem, you’ll have to correctly pick answers for several multiple choice questions. It’s not too hard, but it does return you to the start whenever you make a mistake, which is really annoying. With all that said, here’s our Tour Guide Quest in Temtem – Umbrella Location guide to show you how to beat the quest, correct answers included, and how to get the Umbrella gear item.
![tour guide umbrella Tour Guide Quest in Temtem Umbrella Location](https://cdn.gosu-noob.com/static/img/1/2020/01/Tour-Guide-Quest-in-Temtem-Umbrella-Location.webp)
How to Complete Temtem Tour Guide Quest – How to Get Umbrella?
To complete the Tour Guide quest in Temtem, and earn the Umbrella, you have to complete a series of sentences. First, talk to the tour operator, standing at an exclamation mark in Arrisola . have a chat with them, and accept their quest. From the tour operator, head to the little gaggle of NPCs right next to them. Talk to the NPCs, and you’ll have to complete the “tour.” Basically, it boils down to completing several sentences with the correct info. Here are the correct answers:
- Welcome to Arissola, capital of Deniz…
- Pasiphae of Turquesa…
- Thalassian Cliffs
- The town of Turquesa.
The last answer doesn’t seem to matter, since we said Luisouvenirs, and that wasn’t the correct answer. However, we still got the next line of dialogue. We just told them to enjoy the rest of their stay, and everything was fine. If I needed to hazard a guess, I’d assume the right response was The ruins of Windward Fort. However, again, you can apparently choose whatever you want, and it’ll still count.

Once you clear the gauntlet of questions, head right back to the tour operator and talk to them. In return for the favor you did, you’ll get the Umbrella. It’s a gear item that you can give to one of the Temtems, and it will reduce damage taken from Water techniques by 20%. It’s a really, really useful item, and earning it is ridiculously simple.

The Best Umbrellas for Wind and Rain
![tour guide umbrella James Austin](https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2019/11/james-austin.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&crop=1:1&width=50)
By James Austin , Daniel Varghese and Sarah J. Robbins
Trudging through rain is rarely enjoyable, but a great umbrella will reduce the misery, keep you (mostly) dry, and easily stow away when it’s not needed.
Our favorite is the compact Repel Windproof Travel Umbrella . Its nine-rib construction held up against gale-force winds, and it’s as sturdy as umbrellas that sell for more than twice the price.
Everything we recommend
![tour guide umbrella](https://d1b5h9psu9yexj.cloudfront.net/18225/Repel-Easy-Touch-Umbrella_20180405-163156_full.jpg)
Repel Windproof Travel Umbrella
The best travel umbrella for most people.

AmazonBasics Automatic Travel Umbrella with Wind Vent
A travel umbrella with great wind resistance.
This nicely priced umbrella blew away most competition in wind-resistance tests. It comes in a range of colors, but they tend to vary in price, and this model has a history of stock issues.
![tour guide umbrella](https://d1b5h9psu9yexj.cloudfront.net/35959/Balios-Prestige-Travel-Umbrella_20191126-184316_full.jpeg)
Balios Folding Double Canopy Umbrella
A travel umbrella that’s slightly more fancy, slightly less practical.
This umbrella performs similarly to our top pick but has a more luxurious feel and build. However, it lacks a wrist strap.
Budget pick
![tour guide umbrella](https://d1b5h9psu9yexj.cloudfront.net/179/Lewis-N--Clark-Lightweight-Travel-Umbrella_20180405-141047_full.jpg)
Lewis N. Clark Umbrella
A cheap, light, and bright travel umbrella.
This isn’t the toughest umbrella, but it comes in many colors, and it’s portable and inexpensive. So it’s great for kids or forgetful folks.
![tour guide umbrella](https://d1b5h9psu9yexj.cloudfront.net/18227/Totes-Blue-Line-Auto-Wooden-Stick-Umbrella_20180405-141130_full.jpg)
Totes Auto Open Wooden Stick Umbrella
A low-priced stick-style umbrella.
With this model, you get classic style and impressive durability at a very reasonable weight—and price.
Upgrade pick
![tour guide umbrella](https://d1b5h9psu9yexj.cloudfront.net/18516/Davek-Elite_20180405-141701_full.jpg)
Davek Elite
A premium stick-style umbrella.
If you’re willing to pay a lot more for a timeless umbrella with elevated style and construction, this is the one to get.
How we picked
The top job of any worthy umbrella is to keep the user dry and protected from the elements.
Though we picked umbrellas of varying lengths, we made sure they were all light and easily portable.
An umbrella should be able to withstand strong gusts, invert without breaking, and then resume its original structure.
Umbrellas are not heirloom items. Since they’re frequently lost or loaned, we looked for options that weren’t overly expensive.
And to suit a range of preferences, we have four other picks, including a budget travel umbrella (perfect for forgetful types) and a high-end, stick-style umbrella that provides more coverage (and is constructed from premium materials).
The Repel Windproof Travel Umbrella folds up to a compact size (11½ inches long), so it fits in most bags and glove boxes. At the touch of a button, it forcefully expands to reveal an ample canopy (37 inches in diameter), which protects your torso and head from precipitation in all but the windiest conditions. And its textured handle is easy for hands of all sizes to grip.
We also appreciate that this umbrella comes in several colors (see other options here ), so you can more readily find yours in a crowded umbrella bucket. Finally, Repel backs this reasonably priced umbrella with a lifetime refund or replacement guarantee —but only if you purchase directly from Repel and register the item under its warranty.
The AmazonBasics Automatic Travel Umbrella with Wind Vent costs less than our top pick—if you get it in black (the other shades cost more.) And due to its vented design and sturdy build, it shrugged off even the toughest gusts during testing. Since 2017, when it first came to our attention, this umbrella has gone in and out of stock several times, making it hard to predict when it would be available. As of early summer 2024, it is out of stock again. If you can find it, though, this is a solid umbrella.
The Balios Folding Double Canopy Umbrella looks and feels premium—with a wooden handle and solid build quality—yet it costs the same (when shipping is included) as our top pick, the Repel umbrella. But its wooden handle is more slippery than the Repel’s handle, and since the Balios umbrella also lacks a wrist strap, you need to be more vigilant in keeping a grip on it. This umbrella held up well to strong winds, and its 37-inch-wide canopy easily bounced back after it was forced to invert during testing. The Balios umbrella deploys quickly.
The Lewis N. Clark Umbrella was a previous top pick in this guide, and it’s still a great value. This lightweight travel model frequently goes on sale for about half the price of our other picks, so it’s a good choice for kids or those who tend to lose umbrellas. It isn’t as solidly built as our other picks, but at 10 ounces, it’s about a quarter-pound lighter than the Repel and AmazonBasics models. And its 38-inch canopy offers better coverage and more wind resistance compared with most other umbrellas in the sub-$20 range. We also like that it comes in eight colors.
If you want more coverage than a compact automatic umbrella can provide, stick umbrellas, though typically taller and heavier, have a wider canopy, so they protect more than just your upper torso. Among the nine stick options we tested, the Totes Auto Open Wooden Stick Umbrella was by far the most affordable. Yet it held up against the strongest winds and didn’t feel at all top-heavy, which is a common issue with this type of umbrella (often misidentified as a golf umbrella). This one also looks nicer than you might expect for the price. But if you want something made from more premium materials, and you’re willing to spend a lot more, consider our other stick-umbrella pick, the Davek Elite.
As we’ve established, you don’t have to shell out a lot of money to get a great umbrella. But if you do opt to splurge on a timeless stick, the Davek Elite is worth it. It has a stitched leather handle, a high-quality fiberglass frame, and a 44-inch microfiber canopy. (Plus, there’s a lifetime guarantee to back it all up.) The Elite is available in three colors (black, navy blue, and copper). Beyond its fancy materials, this umbrella can really perform. It withstands wind exceptionally well. And, thanks to its flexible ribs, it doesn’t become a kite when subjected to strong gusts; instead, it turns inside out and then recovers easily. It’s worth noting, however, that the Elite’s cane handle measures 5 inches across, which could be a lot for a smaller hand to manage.
The research
Why you should trust us, how we tested, our pick: repel windproof travel umbrella, runner-up: amazonbasics automatic travel umbrella with wind vent, also great: balios folding double canopy umbrella, budget pick: lewis n. clark umbrella, also great: an inexpensive stick-style umbrella, upgrade pick: a premium stick-style umbrella, other good umbrellas, what about inverted umbrellas, care and maintenance, the competition, frequently asked questions.
Over the past several years, we’ve taken umbrellas on errands, run them under the shower, attacked them with a leaf blower, and tortured them to the point of failure in gusty winds and blizzard-like conditions. In between the tests, we’ve lived with these umbrellas and loaned samples to family members and friends. This has generated impromptu side-by-side comparisons and ultimately revealed how these umbrellas hold up with long-term use. After all of our testing, we’re confident we’ve found some of the best umbrellas among the hundreds available.
When we initially conducted our research, we also visited Rain or Shine in New York City. At the time, it was one of the few umbrella specialty retailers left in the US (it has since closed). Peggy Levee, Rain or Shine’s owner, was a protégé of Gilbert Center , a storied umbrella sales and repair expert, who was also a source for this guide. Levee formerly operated out of a Midtown Manhattan office stocked with high-end models from around the world. Together with Levee, we examined a range of brands and discussed performance, value, and owner satisfaction.
![tour guide umbrella A group shot of colorful, closed umbrellas that we tested.](https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/umbrellas-2048px-8667.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024)
As always, we started by reassessing our own past research and testing, and we looked at other online reviews. Before visiting the Rain or Shine umbrella store in New York City, we consulted the work of the good folks at GearLab , who have done their own extensive umbrella trials. A post on The Art of Manliness website provided historical context and some well-informed general opinions.
Our 2015 interview with umbrella sales and repair guru Gilbert Center revealed a sad truth: Most (though not all) umbrella making is outsourced to generalist manufacturers, often at the expense of quality. Our dive into online reviews and retail offerings supported that fact; it revealed that there’s an alarming number of cheap, physically identical umbrellas available under multiple, rarely well-known brands. Our digging also revealed there’s a startling similarity and positivity in supposed owner reviews (we’re on record as being skeptics of this phenomenon ). Armed with this background information, we were able to develop some key criteria to help us narrow the field of qualified contestants.
- It turns out that a 37- to 39-inch-diameter canopy is just about perfect for keeping someone’s head and torso dry—without adding too much bulk to the total package. That’s why this is the range for most manufacturers’ standard or “full-size” portable umbrellas. Regardless of an umbrella’s size, no model will keep you dry from head to toe, especially if there’s a breeze. Blowing rain and puddles inevitably produce wet calves and pant cuffs, dampened thighs, and even soaked waists. It’s better to think of an umbrella as protection for your hairdo and upper torso as you scurry between car and office or subway and home. In 2017 and 2018, we looked into larger options, for those who may value extra coverage stretching to the abdomen. By contrast, mini umbrellas are generally no better than a wide-brimmed hat, so we skipped those models.
- We focused on umbrellas that were shorter than 12 inches fully folded —with the exception of some stick umbrellas—since most people want something that fits into a car’s glove box or a backpack’s water-bottle pocket. But we don’t recommend ultra-compact models: Though banana-sized umbrellas do exist, their canopies are often too small to be effective. And on ultra-compact full-size umbrellas, the ribs have four joints rather than two, so there are more potential points of failure.
- We sought a main pick that weighed less than a pound , with preference given to lighter models. After all, you’ll probably be carrying it with you most of the time. But we allowed some wiggle room for the larger stick umbrellas, since you typically tote them more like a cane or walking stick.
- Materials don’t vary much among brands. What matters: the quality of the design and production, and the specific alloy employed . All umbrellas use a synthetic fabric—usually polyester or nylon—for the canopy. Some boast an additional quick-dry coating of Teflon (though we’ve found this doesn’t make much difference in practice). The ribs and shaft are usually constructed from steel, aluminum, and fiberglass, either alone or in combination. Aluminum construction is sometimes considered a weakness, probably because of the metal’s association with soda cans and cooking foil. (“Stay away from it,” said Rain or Shine’s Peggy Levee. “What’s better is steel and fiberglass.”) But this could be an unfair generalization. After all, if you’ve taken a commercial flight, you’ve entrusted your life to critical components made of aluminum, such as wing ribs and roots; the process is not functionally different from that used to make soda cans, but it’s on an incomprehensibly larger ( and epoch-making ) scale.
- Although canopy and rib materials aren’t of primary importance, leather, pleather, and rubberized plastic handles offer a much better grip than hard plastic ones—especially when they’re molded into a shape that follows the hand’s natural contours. Stick umbrellas often (though not always) come with a cane handle made of wood or laminate, leather, or rubberized plastic.
![tour guide umbrella A close-up of the handles of six of the umbrellas we tested for this guide.](https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/umbrellas-2048px-8663.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024)
- Choosing an automatic or manual opening mechanism is simply a matter of preference. Our research into owner experiences and our own internal polls bias us toward automatics—umbrellas that fully open and partially close with the push of a button on the handle. (So far, no automatic umbrella provides the finishing touch of cinching the canopy with the strap, and it’s hard to imagine one ever will.) If you’re carrying groceries, a purse, a briefcase, or a child in one hand, it’s helpful to be able to snap your umbrella open or closed with the other. That’s why our top pick remains an automatic. We should note, however, that virtually all stick umbrellas have a manual close, and many lightweight umbrellas are fully manual in order to save weight.
- Then there’s the question of economy . We discovered it’s possible to get an under-$25 model that’s solid enough to bend in the wind and reliably snap back into shape—so you won’t be heartbroken if you leave it at a restaurant. You can find ones for even less, but we wouldn’t recommend them, nor would Levee: “Yes, you can get a $5 umbrella in the street and a $10 umbrella at the drugstore. But how many are you buying?” With these, it’s less a matter of if than of when it will finally break (often on the same day you bought it). If you want to spend much more than $30 on an umbrella, you can get something special. But whether an umbrella is worth that investment depends more on your style proclivities or if you tend to lose umbrellas. “The average price for a nice stick umbrella is around $80 to $120,” Levee said. To be sure, a custom-carved, maple-handled Italian stick umbrella with a twill canopy, such as the Davek Savile we tested, is long on style. However, it won’t perform much better than our budget-friendly stick pick . (Though the steeper investment might motivate you to check the umbrella stand before you walk out the door of a restaurant.)
- Warranties also matter. Many companies that produce budget umbrellas offer lifetime coverage or other attractive claims. But they make the return shipping and documentation so costly and bureaucratic that it’s not worth the hassle. We favor well-known companies with simple, reliable return-and-replace programs, even if that means a slight increase in up-front cost.
![tour guide umbrella Multiple stick and expanding umbrellas arranged on grass.](https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/umbrellas-2048px-04533.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024)
For our 2018 update, we conducted research on dozens of new automatic, manual, ultralight, reversible, and stick umbrellas. In the end, we decided to test seven models (from Ace Teah, Bodyguard, Crackajack, Elementex, LifeTek, and Tadge Goods) against our picks from Repel, AmazonBasics, and Lewis N. Clark.
In 2019, we built on what we’d learned from previous updates, testing an additional seven umbrellas from Herschel, Balios, Davek, and Totes. We also checked out inverted umbrellas and included detailed notes on what we thought of that design.
To state the obvious: An umbrella is supposed to keep you dry. So in 2015, we tested several umbrellas for their ability to keep a T-shirt–clad mannequin dry beneath the spray of a dual shower head. To nobody’s surprise, we learned that wider umbrellas did a better job of reliably protecting the mannequin’s head, shoulders, and upper torso.
But once canopies get larger than the 37- to 39-inch range (the typical size of the automatic umbrellas we tested), you start running into weight issues without gaining significantly better coverage. Having established that, in subsequent years we focused our testing on other aspects of umbrella performance and build quality.
![tour guide umbrella A person holding a green lewis and clark umbella in front of the New York skyline.](https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/umbrellas-2048px-0169.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024)
Instead, we concentrated on testing the umbrellas in real-world scenarios and, perhaps most important, seeing how they held up to stiff winds. Ideally, an umbrella should be lightweight and tough, flexible and resilient.
A good umbrella will withstand a stiff breeze, but it should also invert—flip inside out—when a sudden gust overwhelms its strength limits. In effect, it should bend rather than break. What matters is an umbrella’s ability to easily and repeatedly flip back to proper form. In 2017, on a rainy February day, Wirecutter’s Sarah J. Robbins took 16 models with her as she ran errands with her infant son in a BabyBjörn carrier. A few days later, during a sunny but blustery day, she did a second lap, this time pushing her baby in a stroller. She brought her observations to senior staff writer Tim Heffernan, who had performed the 2016 tests. Together, they reached subjective conclusions based on factors such as weight, balance, and handle comfort.
For the stick umbrellas, which were considerably taller and heavier, we considered how easy they were to use for Sarah, who is 5-foot-2, and for Tim and Daniel Varghese, who are both about 6 feet tall. After that, the most promising candidates weathered a series of stress tests.
We began our tests in the small park outside our office in Long Island City, New York. The goal was to force the umbrellas to invert by holding them in a position they’d rarely, if ever, be subjected to in real-world use: with the handle facing parallel to the ground and the canopy directly downwind, catching the wind like a sail. Once we’d made the canopy invert, we attempted to reverse it.
After weeding out models that were too hard to flip back or were damaged in the process, we tested the survivors during various New York City squalls. Staff writer James Austin used these umbrellas during his daily commute, taking into account the amount of protection they provided and how easy they were to carry on the buses, trains, and streets of New York City.
![tour guide umbrella An opened Repel Windproof Travel Umbrella in the color grey.](https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/umbrellas-2048px-8656.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024)
The Repel Windproof Travel Umbrella is our top pick because in quality and durability, it’s on a par with models we saw for more than twice the price. In fact, the Repel umbrella felt just as solid in every phase of our testing as $100-plus models we tested. You can find lighter options (the Repel weighs just over 14 ounces), but along with its heft comes an ability to withstand big gusts. Billed as a “travel umbrella,” it folds up to just 11½ inches long, so it’s easy to store and carry. Still, when this umbrella is fully extended, its 37-inch canopy offers plenty of coverage.
![tour guide umbrella A person holding a red Repel Windproof Travel umbrella to see the bottom.](https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/umbrellas-2048px-04512.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024)
One of the Repel’s selling points is its nine-rib construction. While most standard umbrellas have eight or fewer ribs, this model has an extra rib, which provides greater reinforcement across the canopy, leading to better durability. We believe this design contributed to our test sample’s valiant fight against 40 mph gusts (in which many competitors flipped). When the Repel did invert, its fiberglass ribs arched easily in the direction they were pushed. And when we pressed the automatic close button, the ribs snapped back into place.
The Repel’s sturdy build goes beyond the extra rib. Its automatic open-and-close mechanism is quite satisfying: Pressing the button forcefully snaps the umbrella to attention. The comfortable-to-hold, rubberized handle is relatively long (about 2½ inches). So Sarah could fit almost her whole hand around it, yet it didn’t feel too small in Tim’s or Daniel’s larger hands.
The polyester, Teflon-coated canopy of the Repel showed no sign of dents or frayed stitching—even after the stress tests. Should anything go wrong, however, the umbrella is also covered by Repel’s lifetime replacement guarantee —with no return required. (The warranty only goes into effect, however, if you buy yours from Repel’s website and then register your purchase.)
![tour guide umbrella A closed Repel Windproof Travel Umbrella in the color grey.](https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/umbrellas-2048px-8640.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024)
This umbrella comes in several colors (as well as in black). So you shouldn’t have trouble finding yours among the many identical models in the coffee-shop stand. (For additional colors, beyond the options available on the main product page, see this listing on Amazon.) One caveat: We recommend sidestepping the double-canopy color options (like the blue-sky design); these have an extra layer of fabric, making the umbrella heavier and harder to tie together.
After we used the Repel umbrella regularly for over six months, it continued to impress us. Even in the face of significant wind gusts, it never flipped inside out.
In April and May of 2018, the Repel umbrella experienced a pervasive counterfeit issue, but a representative from Upper Echelon Products (Repel’s parent company) assured us that this problem has been resolved. We’ve found no recent evidence to suggest this is an ongoing issue, but it’s still a good idea to be mindful of third-party sellers of this umbrella on Amazon. (The best way to avoid a counterfeit is to be sure the seller is Upper Echelon Products and/or that your order is being fulfilled directly by Amazon.)
How the Repel has held up
After using the Repel umbrella on and off for over a year in rough city weather, senior staff writer Tim Heffernan said this model has held up well. It was stuffed into backpacks and handbags, and it was carried through trains crowded with damp, disgruntled New Yorkers. After all that, it still worked perfectly. Another of our testers, Christina Colizza, an editor on our sleep team, noted that the Repel expanded with more energy than she’d expected. And she said this umbrella was a bit harder to close than others she tested (she said a friend lost a fake nail while trying to secure it).
Flaws but not dealbreakers
Although we appreciate the Repel umbrella’s sturdy build, the snappy opening and tight tolerances do require a strong spring to drive them. As a result, retracting the shaft back down to its fully folded form takes a bit more force than you might anticipate. But once you’re aware that closing the Repel requires extra effort, it’s likely to become more of an afterthought.
![tour guide umbrella An opened AmazonBasics Automatic Travel Umbrella in the color yellow.](https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/umbrellas-2048px-8653.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024)
We love practically everything about the AmazonBasics Automatic Travel Umbrella with Wind Vent . This decently priced umbrella is made with high-quality fabric and has sturdy stitching, and it holds a fierce stance against the wind. Also, its slightly curved handle is comfortable and easy to grip.
The only thing keeping the AmazonBasics umbrella out of our top spot is its relative elusiveness: In the past, this umbrella has gone in and out of stock frequently, and when it disappeared, there was no indication of when it would be back. As of our 2024 update to this guide, the umbrella has once again gone out of stock. We’ll keep an eye on the situation.
![tour guide umbrella A closeup of the AmazonBasics Automatic Travel Umbrella's wind vent.](https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/umbrellas-2048px-8657.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024)
What impressed us most about the AmazonBasics model during testing was its windy-weather performance. That’s thanks to the wind vent, a gap in the umbrella’s fabric. The umbrella has two overlapping layers of fabric that lie flat and watertight in the rain; when these layers are caught by wind from underneath, they open, releasing air pressure and preventing the umbrella from inverting. Whether in a blizzard or facing gusts near the top floors of a high-rise apartment building, this umbrella refused to quit against the toughest gales. AmazonBasics also makes a ventless umbrella , but during and after the stress tests, we found that it didn’t hold up as well as the vented one.
![tour guide umbrella A closed AmazonBasics Automatic Travel Umbrella in yellow.](https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/umbrellas-2048px-8637.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024)
Fully closed, the AmazonBasics is just 11 inches long; the fabric of its canopy, however, is thicker than that of the Repel, so when it’s bundled, it’s a bit stockier as well. The round handle is comfortable to hold, as is the wrist strap, and the automatic open-and-close function is as responsive as any we encountered.
After a little over half a year of using the AmazonBasics umbrella, travel and outdoors editor Ria Misra reported that her test model broke. Tim (who’d been testing the AmazonBasics as well as the Repel) said the vented canopy came in handy on the windy hill near where he lives—until the umbrella was forgotten somewhere.
![tour guide umbrella An opened Balios Folding Double Canopy Umbrella in a light color blue.](https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/umbrellas-2048px-8655.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024)
If you want an umbrella that looks and feels a bit more premium than our other picks, but you don’t quite want to upgrade to a heritage piece, the Balios Folding Double Canopy Umbrella is a great option. Its 37-inch vented canopy expands rapidly when deployed, and the auto-close function is quick, with a satisfying click. The wooden handle is a nice addition, and it was comfortable to hold, though it may seem a bit large in smaller hands. The Balios stood up well to wind in our tests, inverting only when held directly parallel to the wind on a particularly blustery day in the city, and it snapped back easily and quickly.
![tour guide umbrella A closeup of the Balios umbrella's wooden handle.](https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/umbrellas-2048px-8645.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&crop=3:2&width=150)
The wooden handle lacks a wrist strap and feels slicker than the rubberized handle of the Repel. This combo left us worried that the umbrella might be snatched into the air by a particularly strong gust. The handle also made this one of the longest collapsible umbrellas we tested, measuring 13.5 inches when collapsed. Also, though the company takes pains to note that the handle is “ ethically sourced, ” we have been unable to confirm what that means, exactly.
![tour guide umbrella An opened, light blue Lewis N. Clark Umbrella.](https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/umbrellas-2048px-8654.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024)
If both the Repel and the AmazonBasics umbrellas are out of stock, the Lewis N. Clark Umbrella is another good low-cost option (it was a top pick in a previous version of this guide). It comes in seven colors in addition to black, although black tends to be the cheapest.
One of the most easily portable of the bunch, this travel umbrella is the same height as the AmazonBasics umbrella, and it’s just 10 ounces. Despite this model’s low price, the Lewis N. Clark survived our stress tests with very minor damage, and we’ve had no issues with the units we’ve been using for long-term testing. (Wirecutter’s Sasha VanHoven had the Lewis N. Clark for more than a year and reported that it was “beat up but still kicking!”)
![tour guide umbrella The Lewis N. Clark umbrella in light periwinkle.](https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/umbrellas-2048px-8641.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024)
Still, compared with our other top picks, the Lewis N. Clark has a lightweight polyester canopy that’s more wrinkly and less taut in certain places—telltale signs of looser quality-control standards. And although its metal ribs are listed as being made of steel, we are nearly certain they’re actually aluminum, judging from their light weight, lack of magnetism, and appearance.
For these reasons, we think most people are better off spending a bit more to get one of our other picks. But if you want something for kids, or you constantly lose umbrellas, the Lewis N. Clark is a good option to consider.
![tour guide umbrella An opened Totes Auto Open Wooden Stick Umbrella in blue.](https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/umbrellas-2048px-8612.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024)
Stick (or cane) umbrellas are taller and often have significantly larger canopies than their more portable cousins. Though they’re fun to use, they can be a pain to hold with one hand, especially if you’re on the smaller side. But at just over 20 ounces, the Totes Auto Open Wooden Stick Umbrella has good weight distribution, and its 42-inch-wide span kept us dry while we were running around town, even in rough weather. This umbrella was easy to use, and that put it ahead of other similarly sturdy but more expensive stick models, such as the GustBuster Classic (which felt considerably more top-heavy).
![tour guide umbrella A closed Totes Auto Open Wooden Stick Umbrella.](https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/umbrellas-2048px-8642.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024)
Though it offers the same length and canopy size as the other stick umbrellas we tested, the Totes is significantly cheaper. (And GearLab also named this umbrella one of its favorites.) Its canopy is made from a lighter (and likely lower-cost) material compared with the other umbrellas we considered, and we wondered whether it would hold up to strong winds.
During our blizzard tests, however, as hard as Sarah tried, she couldn’t get this umbrella to flip inside out. This could, of course, be considered a flaw: Seeing your umbrella bend alleviates the fear that one sudden, harsh gust will break it. Still, given the price of admission, that risk seems to be one worth taking. James had this umbrella for several years (before it eventually went MIA). And he says it continued to hold up well in city storms, despite being used in a few too many Gene Kelly impressions.
![tour guide umbrella An open Davek Elite umbrella in black.](https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/umbrellas-2048px-8617.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024)
If you’re looking for a classically styled stick umbrella to go with a suit, consider the Davek Elite . It feels sumptuous, with a stitched leather handle, a fiberglass frame, and a 44-inch microfiber canopy, which the company says is “190 thread count.” This umbrella has an equally lofty price tag, and it’s the most expensive of our picks by far. That price is partially justified by Davek’s easy-to-use lifetime guarantee (which includes 50% off a new umbrella if you lose your original ).
![tour guide umbrella A closeup of the Davek Elite's leather stick handle.](https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/umbrellas-2048px-8646.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&crop=3:2&width=150)
The Davek Elite performs exceptionally in the wind: Thanks to its flexible ribs, in our tests it didn’t become a kite in the gusts. Instead, it turned inside out and then easily recovered. This umbrella comes in three colors : black, navy blue, and copper.
It’s worth noting that the Davek Elite’s cane handle measures 5 inches across, which is quite a lot for a smaller hand to manage. There were some mentions in online reviews about the umbrella seeming too big overall. And a few people have complained that the silver tip at the end of their umbrella fell off—an especially unwelcome event, considering the price.
If you want an extremely good (and extremely expensive) travel umbrella: The travel-size Davek Solo is a redesign of a past Davek model that we previously recommended in this guide. The collapsible umbrella was the best we tested, with a comfortable-to-hold handle, a strong canopy, and a surprisingly convenient metal belt clip. It was also the only umbrella that elicited comments from other New Yorkers: One person excitedly told James all about his own Solo, which he’d had for years. But it’s hard to justify spending over $100 on something so small and easy to lose, especially when our main picks are nearly as good and are a fraction of the price.
If you want a solid alternative to our top travel umbrella picks: The LifeTek Traveler 45 FX2 impressed us in our 2018 tests. It withstood being battered by violent gusts without ever inverting, likely because of its vented canopy structure (a design it shares with our runner-up pick, the AmazonBasics Automatic Travel Umbrella with Wind Vent ). This was one of the strongest umbrellas we have ever tested. And when we did force it to invert, the canopy snapped back into place without much effort. However, depending on the color, the LifeTek often costs more than our top travel picks, the Repel and AmazonBasics models, and it doesn’t offer enough of an advantage over those to justify making it a pick. That said, because it’s an excellent umbrella with a solid warranty (LifeTek’s two-year “Peace of Mind” replacement guarantee against defects and malfunctions), we feel confident recommending it, especially if you can find it on sale.
![tour guide umbrella A Sharpty inverted umbrella, folded and resting on a wet wooden bench.](https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/umbrella-2048px-9772.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024)
Inverted umbrellas are a relatively recent development in “holding something over your head to keep water off” technology. The canopy deploys and collapses in an odd way: unfolding down and out, like a blooming flower, and collapsing up and away from the holder, like a normal umbrella broken by the wind. This is supposed to reduce water dripping onto the floor and make it easier to do things like getting in and out of a car.
We put two inverted umbrellas to the test: the Kazbrella (now discontinued), one of the early examples of this concept, and the Sharpty Inverted , the best-selling inverted stick umbrella on Amazon at the time. Alas, we found the novel design underwhelming.
When we tested the Kazbrella, we noticed extra material on the canopy (there are two layers of fabric, with a flexible structure in between, allowing for the fold). This makes the umbrella more top-heavy than other, similarly sized models, and that can cause extra strain and make the umbrella harder to control in a gust of wind. Also, in order for it to be “drip free,” the umbrella would need to be placed in an umbrella bucket with the canopy up, rather than the handle.
The generic-looking Sharpty Inverted shared the Kazbrella’s problems. It also felt cheap and was difficult to deploy correctly, often requiring a few shakes to get the canopy to fully unfold. And it was a pain to hook its C-shaped handle on a bag strap or a cubical wall (as you can do with most regular stick umbrellas).
With their unique folding style, inverted umbrellas are certainly eye-catching, but in practice they seem to cause more problems than they solve.
If you want your umbrella to keep you dry for a long time, you need to remember to let it dry. Just leave your umbrella open after use—the bathtub is a handy spot. If you don’t, its metal parts—especially an automatic open-and-close function—can corrode. Mildew can also develop in the canopy of a wet umbrella that’s left closed; this not only smells awful but can destroy the fabric over time.
And make sure to let your automatic umbrella do its job, said Peggy Levee, owner of the former New York City umbrella specialty retailer Rain or Shine: If you’re using one with an automatic open-and-close function, do not pull it closed like you would a manual model. “I always point that out to customers,” she said. Over time, that unnecessary tugging could cause the mechanism to break.
![tour guide umbrella A number of colorful umbrellas arranged open on the ground.](https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/03/umbrellas-2048px-group-2-630.jpeg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024)
Blunt Metro : This is a good travel umbrella if you’re concerned only about the wind. Its shallow, scalloped shape—a direct result of some innovative engineering—shrugged off gusts better than any other umbrella in our test. Unfortunately, we learned that it also does a poor job of keeping you dry when the rain blows sideways.
Bodyguard Inverted Umbrella : This compact model was one of the most popular umbrellas available on Amazon when we first tested it, featuring an impressive 10-rib construction. Though it performed decently in our real-world wind tests, inverting several times without breaking, it was difficult to flip back—a bit too sturdy for its own good. It has since been redesigned with a 12-rib construction; we have not tested the newer model.
Davek Duet : With a 48-inch canopy, this umbrella provides enough shelter for two, yet it’s less than 15 inches long folded and weighs under a pound and a half. It’s wider than most people want or need, but if you’re big or tall, travel in pairs, or just want maximum coverage, it’s worth considering. The eye-watering price is backed by Davek’s unconditional lifetime guarantee .
Davek Mini : If having a really compact umbrella matters to you above all else, this model, which folds down to the size of a banana, is a great choice. When we tested it, the Mini’s tiny, 26-inch canopy could barely keep our head and shoulders dry; the canopy has since been redesigned and expanded to 34 inches, which is likely to be an improvement.
Davek Savile : Hand-assembled in England, this stick umbrella—the granddaddy of Davek’s offerings—is billed as an heirloom piece, and it has a very hefty price tag to match. The handle and shaft are hand-carved from chestnut wood, adding to this umbrella’s weight (30 ounces). It’s impressive, for sure. But for an umbrella of this style, we prefer to save $190 and choose the still-luxe, and more portable, Davek Elite .
EuroSchirm Light Trek : This German travel umbrella is quite good overall, especially given its scant, 9.25-ounce weight. But subpar wind resistance holds it back. The lightweight fiberglass ribs are considerably more flexible than those on other umbrellas, and as a result the canopy collapses easily when blasted head-on and flexes like a leaf in high winds when held upright. This means you’d suffer more inside-out episodes than you would with our picks. Although it didn’t break during testing in a snowstorm, it did look somewhat worse for the wear compared with our picks. But it’s still a decent lightweight choice for less-windy climates.
EuroSchirm Light Trek Automatic : The automatic version has the same issues as the manual version but weighs a lot more.
EuroSchirm Light Trek Automatic Flashlite : This is like the other two EuroSchirm Light Trek models, except it has a small LED flashlight in the handle. That gimmick brings its weight to 13.5 ounces—not a light trekker at all.
GustBuster Metro : This travel umbrella has a well-deserved reputation for durability in the wind: It never came close to inverting during testing. But its strength comes from a complex truss of multiple ribs and springs, making it extremely top-heavy: When the wind catches the canopy, it’s like holding a sledgehammer. That design, plus a hard-plastic handle that’s slick when wet, added up to a losing combination.
GustBuster Classic : Though this stick-style umbrella has a cane handle and a wider canopy than its relative, the GustBuster Metro, their construction is similar. One plus: The contours of the Classic’s cane handle make it easier to manage in the wind. The Classic is a quality tool for a good price, but it didn’t lead the pack in value or function.
Knirps Xtreme Vented Duomatic : This automatic travel umbrella weighs 13 ounces, but its canopy handily opens to an impressive 48 inches—the size of many stick umbrellas. It’s a good choice if you want the coverage but not the hassle of carrying a cane around town. Still, it could be overkill for most people.
Senz Automatic: We had high hopes for this unique umbrella. The main draw is its odd, teardrop shape, which keeps your shoulders and back drier than a typical round canopy. Unfortunately, the long, rear-facing ribs are weak; we damaged one just by cinching the canopy strap.
Totes Signature Clear Bubble Umbrella : The bubble-style umbrella makes sense conceptually, to provide more coverage with a longer canopy that surrounds the user in a sort of traveling dome. But in practice, at least with the Totes Signature Clear Bubble, that extra wall of fabric is just something for the wind to push against, making the umbrella difficult to control, even though it’s light. Also because of its design, the canopy isn’t as wide as on other, similarly sized stick umbrellas, and this limits its protection.
Totes Blue Line Auto Open/Close Umbrella: This umbrella is well reviewed (and we recommend the Totes Auto Open Wooden Stick Umbrella as our favorite lower-priced stick-style umbrella). But the Totes Blue Line compact travel umbrella arrived with a 3-inch rip in one of the canopy seams, and it widened in the wind. Also, one of the ribs tore loose from another section of the canopy during our inversion test. (This umbrella appears to have since been discontinued.)
Tumi Medium Auto Close Umbrella : This umbrella is average in terms of its size and compactness. And despite its premium price, it didn’t stand out in any particular test.
What’s the best umbrella fabric?
In our testing, there is no singular best fabric for umbrellas. All of the umbrellas we looked at had canopies made of synthetic fabrics like polyester or nylon, and some had an additional quick-dry coat, such as Teflon (but those additions don’t help much). The fabrics all do an equally good job of keeping you dry and shedding water quickly.
How do I choose an umbrella?
Look for an umbrella with a canopy that’s 37 to 39 inches across. This size is good for protecting one person from the rain, and the umbrella can still fold down to a compact package. Similarly, we think one that collapses to 12 inches (when closed) and weighs less than a pound hits the sweet spot: It’s easy to carry an umbrella of this size with you everywhere, yet it will still keep you dry. We suggest the Repel Windproof Travel Umbrella for its size, comfortable-to-hold handle, and affordable price.
What’s the best umbrella for windy conditions?
All of our umbrella contenders were tested against stiff winds and fared well. But the AmazonBasics Automatic Travel Umbrella with Wind Vent excelled, thanks to the vent at the crown: It lets strong winds pass through without snatching the umbrella from your hands.

Testimonials
What people say about us, southside yellow umbrella tour.
Southside Tour with Peter was Fantastic. I am all about walking yours in towns and this was one of the best. It lasted about 3 hours, but I could have wandered around with Peter for a couple of more hours and not gotten bored. We got great general history of Ireland and insite to specific sites on the South Doubling tour. Highly recommend.
Absolutely recommend!
During my short trip to Dublin I decided to book a free walking tour with the Yellow Umbrella Tours – South Side. Our guide was Conor (with one ‘n’) who did a great job sharing bits of Ireland’s/Dublin’s history and present in a relatively short amount of time (one can learn a lot in 3 hours) and with some humour. I had lots of fun learning during this tour and I would 200% recommend anyone to book it. I’m sure you won’t regret it!
Great experience
Our tour lasted 2hr45 of the Southside, and was really excellent. Our tour guide gave us lots of information and was happy to answer questions, and was generally very friendly and easy to understand. It’s a contribution at the end as well, but nominally free. Would definitely recommend!
All you need to know within 2 hours
A great mixture between information, fact, cultural insights and first hand tips for pubs and restaurants. Would encourage everyone to go on a tour!
Must-do in Dublin
Had a fantastic South Side tour with Richie on Sunday morning. Very informative and funny, and we learned interesting history about Dublin. It’s three hours but time flies by! Highly recommend to anyone wanting to take a walking tour – best way to get your bearings plus learn about the buildings instead of just looking at them!
Interesting tour!
Very interesting tour about the history of the city of Dublin. Our guide Conor was dynamic and captivating! We recommend to discover the city at the beginning of your stay!
Informative and fun tours with a great guide
We did both the north and south side tours with Peter. He was absolutely fantastic and really knowledgeable, giving an insight into the city we never would have had walking round in our own. He was also really helpful in answering any questions and providing recommendations for the rest of our trip. Great experience and would definitely advise anyone visiting Dublin to book on to both tours.
Educational and fun. Highly recommended!
My hostel recommended this company to me. Incredibly knowledgeable guide for the free morning & afternoon walking tour (tour date 30.11.2021). Did not expect this level of knowledge and presentation skill from a free tour, but will definitely take a closer look at their normal tours next time I am in Dublin. I am sure they are fabulous too. Overall highly recommended!

The Best Beach Umbrellas for Staying Cool and Comfortable, Tested and Reviewed

Beach days are for unwinding by the water with friends or a great book — not worrying about sunburns and the hazards of flying umbrellas. In order to peacefully indulge in some fun in the (indirect) sun, a secure beach umbrella is essential.
We put nine beach umbrellas to the test, assessing models of all shapes and sizes in order to compare their portability, ease of use, durability, value, and overall performance over a period of three months and in various locations. Whether you’re looking for a massive cover or something better suited for solo use, these are the best umbrellas for every sort of summer getaway.
Best Overall
Beachbub all-in-one beach umbrella.
This heavy-duty umbrella is shockingly portable and was the sturdiest we tested.
This was one of the more expensive umbrellas that we tested — but it’s worth the value if you frequent the beach.
Security is a huge factor in selecting a beach umbrella — no one wants to deal with a product that needs to be constantly readjusted or, worse, that might fly away in a sudden gust of wind. BeachBub’s All-in-one Umbrella System is extremely sturdy, thanks to a bag at the base that weighs 125 pounds when filled with sand. When not in use, the bag compacts nicely and weighs less than one pound. For the number of features included in the purchase — an oversized carrying case, the sand bag, towel hooks, plus a gopher tool and shovel to dig into the sand — the entire package is surprisingly lightweight at just nine pounds. It’s also impressively easy to carry with the spacious case that has a padded shoulder strap, making it one of the most comfortable options to tote around for extended periods of time.
The setup is also simple, with easy-to-follow instructions and tools provided to help secure the pole about 12 inches deep into the sand. We appreciated the convenience of the attachable hooks, which are sturdy enough to hang towels or beach bags on. While this umbrella is double the price of most of the other models we tested, it’s a worthwhile investment for anyone who spends a lot of time at the beach, as it feels significantly more durable thanks to a 220G commercial grade PA-coated fabric with a UPF 50+ rating, and it’s capable of staying solid in winds of up to 44 miles per hour, a feature that has continued to hold up after three months of use. It also comes with a three-year protection plan, in case you run into any unexpected issues.
The Details: 7.5 foot diameter | 9 pounds

Its adjustable feature is super easy to maneuver, so you can maximize your sun protection throughout the day without having to reinstall the umbrella.
You’ll want to fill up the sand bag entirely in order to secure it fully.
OutdoorMaster’s Beach Umbrella is a close second to our top pick in terms of stability and durability, thanks to the included 44-pound sand bag — and, better yet, it’s less than half the price. In addition to the sturdy base weight, the steel pole and the 160G PU-coated canopy fabric are both very durable, with the latter offering UPF 50+ sun protection. That coverage is maximized thanks to the umbrella’s 6.5-foot diameter, which comfortably shades two adults. We also found that the umbrella shows no sign of wear and tear after three months of use.
The canopy is easily adjustable, ensuring you’ll feel protected from the sun all day long. We love that this model is available in 12 vibrant colors, from nautical blue-and-white stripes to a chic black-and-white option — and it includes a handy cup holder. It’s also intuitive to set up, taking just a moment or two despite instructions that aren’t particularly clear or helpful. Beyond the peace of mind offered at the beach, you can feel good about your purchase from Outdoor Master, as it partners with Protect Our Winters in the fight against climate change.

Best One-person
Sport-brella versa-brella.
The ultra-portable and compact design makes it easy to travel with and to set up solo.
It’s designed to attach to a beach chair rather than be inserted into the sand.
If you’re heading to the beach solo or just want your own personal sun shade, Sport-brella’s Versa-brella stands out for its compact design and barely-there weight (just 1.8 pounds). It’s incredibly portable and, crucially, easy to set up on your own: just double-click it into place and attach the universal clamp to your beach chair .
The opening is compatible with tubular or square surfaces, allowing for versatile use on everything from bleachers to golf bags — just note that it cannot be buried directly into the sand. As a result, it offers less coverage than a classic beach umbrella but can be easily adjusted to protect either your upper body or your legs with the 360-degree swivel canopy. If you’re heading on a beach vacation, it’s great to toss this in your luggage along with a beach blanket , as it packs up easily and holds up well for us in transit. After three months of use, it held up perfectly without any issues or damage.
The Details: 40 x 42 inches | 3 feet high | 1.8 pounds

Best Grounded
Sport-brella premiere upf 50+ umbrella.
Zippered windows help prevent this extra-large umbrella from blowing away.
It can only be used at an angle rather than upright like a standard beach umbrella.
Grounded beach canopies are quite versatile, offering a generous amount of shade as well as protection from the elements. This model is particularly well made, featuring an eight-foot canopy crafted with UPF 50+ protection and a heavy-duty pole, all of which still function at 100 percent after three months of use. At eight pounds, it’s slightly heavy if you’re trying to juggle it with other beach accessories . However, there’s a handy carrying strap that allows you to sling it across your body or over your shoulder — just note that the straps aren’t padded and can dig into your shoulder after a while.
Unique features which set this apart are the zippered windows that maximize airflow and help ensure that excessive wind won’t dislodge the canopy, as well as internal pockets where you can tuck your phone or other small essentials. This canopy also comes with a small bag of four standard ground spikes, four heavy-duty ground spikes, and three tie-down cords for added security.
The Details: 8-foot diameter | 4.4 feet high | 8 pounds

Easiest Setup
Blissun beach umbrella.
The pole can be tilted to adjust the shaded area as the sun moves.
It doesn't stand up well to high winds.
For the impressive diameter of this umbrella, it’s shockingly easy to tote around thanks to the convenient carrying case. We tested it while carrying a backpack as well and slung the umbrella over one shoulder, and found that it was easy to walk with both on the beach. The real value of this umbrella is its easy set-up process: the umbrella came with minimal instructions, but everything felt self-explanatory. There were only two pieces in addition to the carrying case: the base of the pole with a spiral screw bottom and the umbrella itself. We screwed the base into the sand, which took a bit of time but wasn't difficult, and then added the top. It took about 10 minutes to assemble on our first try, and we're confident it will be faster on future beach trips.
While we love the larger size (and color options) of the shade and felt that the easy tilt feature make it a solid value for the price, we don't recommend it for particularly windy days — we would only use this during mild weather. Still, after three months of use, the umbrella is in great condition and we look forward to using it season after season.
The Details: 7.2 feet high | 4.74 pounds

Other Beach Umbrellas We Liked
There was one other beach umbrella that we enjoyed, but had a few issues that kept it from our list of best options. Still, it boasts certain qualities that may better suit some beachgoers and travelers.
Aoxun Beach Umbrella : This was one of the most portable options on our list, weighing just 4.2 pounds, which initially made it a favorite for solo use. Unfortunately, it required a fair amount of effort from two people on an average wind day to set it up.
Over the course of three months, we tested 21 total beach shades , including nine beach umbrellas, to compare and contrast them all based on portability, durability, ease of setup and breakdown, and stability over time. While examining the nine beach umbrellas, we paid close attention to the quality of the materials, noting unique features like UPF protection, tear-resistance, or storage pockets in order to select the most convenient and durable models for you to bring along on your next beach day.
Our testing process began at unboxing, when we carefully took note of the pole, fabric, and any included sandbags or anchors to ensure that buyers would be confident their items will arrive in excellent condition. Next, we paid close attention to the instructions before heading out to the beach to see how our umbrellas performed. We tested them on a handful of occasions for at least three hours each time, evaluating the ease of carrying while walking on sand, setting them up and securing them, and breaking them down. When rating the overall value of the umbrellas, we prized their durability, ease of setup, and value for the price.
A great beach trip takes a great beach umbrella — and a few other things. Here are some goods that will help you make the most of your sunny day off.
Rio Beach Classic 5-position Lay-flat Folding Beach Chair : This popular beach chair offers five seating positions — including a lay-flat option — so you're always comfortable sitting down. The lightweight design and padded shoulder strap also make it easy to carry around.
Wekapo Sand Free Beach Blanket : Large enough to fit several adults comfortably, this massive beach blanket is lightweight and easy to transport. It also shakes off water and excess sand easily, so you don't have to worry about bringing the beach home with you.
Beau Jardin Folding Beach Wagon : Carry towels, sunscreen, beach toys , and more from your car to the sand (and vice versa) with this beach wagon that has a weight capacity of over 300 pounds. Fold it up between uses for easy storage.
Tips for Buying a Beach Umbrella
Look for a upf rating.
UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) ratings indicate how well the umbrella’s fabric protects against UV rays. Ideally, you want a UPF 50+ rating, which ensures that only 1/50th (about 2 percent) of the sun’s rays can get through. At a minimum, look for a UPF of 30 and up, which is the baseline rating that is approved by The Skin Cancer Foundation. In addition to taking advantage of your umbrella, you should be using sunscreen.
Know what kind of ground you'll be using it in
Most beach umbrella tips are designed for use in sand, whether its smooth or slightly rocky. If you plan to use your umbrella in dirt — perhaps for a park picnic — be sure to purchase an umbrella anchor that’s designed for use in soil rather than sand in order to keep things secure.
Don't forget about weight
No one wants to lug around a cumbersome umbrella while struggling in the sand in search of a place to set up for the day. A fairly standard weight for a beach umbrella is six to nine pounds — anything above nine pounds will likely feel heavy and a bit unwieldy for one person to tote around. Look for compact models that also feature a convenient carrying strap (bonus points if it’s padded!).
Frequently Asked Questions
Not all beaches allow umbrellas — certain areas have banned them entirely, either as a safety precaution for the hazard they pose in high winds or as a result of complaints of them blocking the view. For the most part, they are allowed under specific parameters: there can only be one anchor point, and the maximum diameter is typically 8 feet. Be sure to check your local beach to see if they have any specific regulations in order to avoid a potential fine.
First things first: read the instructions! They may have valuable information about how to set up your beach umbrella. The key to inserting your beach umbrella in the sand is rocking it back and forth in order to bury about a third of it into the sand.
At that point, point your umbrella towards the wind and open it up, so that the wind pushes it deeper into the sand. Fill in any gaps with extra sand.
Sand anchors are your best bet for securing your beach umbrella. Typically designed to withstand up to 50 miles per hour of wind, these offer a hefty dose of added protection and come with a screw tip that is easy to set into the sand. They enable you to simply twist your umbrella pole into the anchor rather than rocking it back and forth. Just be sure that your pole is also designed to withstand high winds so that it doesn’t bend while inserted into the anchor. Alternatively, you can attach sand bags to the umbrella pole and fill them with to weigh it down.
