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.

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

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

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.

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

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

✔️ 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.

Order Processing:

Most orders are shipped out typically same day or within 48 hours. All orders are shipped from our warehouse in San Diego, California. We do not process orders on weekends.

In very rare cases, 1% of the time, we get customers that email us stating they have not received their order after it has been posted as "Delivered" by USPS/selected carrier. In most of these cases, the postal courier has placed the package inside the mailbox (rather than the front door) as many of our packages are in mailers and not boxes. If you have not received your package and it has been posted as delivered in tracking, please check your mailbox first, then contact the courier directly as only they can connect you with the courier that delivered or marked delivered the package. Unfortunately, we have no control of USPS or the package once it leaves us so if it has been marked as delivered we must take USPS's word that it has been. If you contact them we have never had an unresolved issue of it still being missing.   

For promo discounts , if missed at time of purchase, it is no issue at all. However, we ask that you please email us within 24 hours of placing the oder in order for us to manually apply it. If an order has already been shipped, then discount code will no longer apply in retrospect.

For domestic shipments, you should expect a notification when package has successfully been delivered. If for any reason you do not find the package soon after receiving delivery notice, we recommend  that you wait until end of business day, sometime even 24 hours after. Our customers have experienced discrepancies between the time such notification is sent out and the actual delivery time of package. Please make sure your package was not picked up by someone else at your residence. We also recommend that you check with your local postal delivery person, just in case, and feel free reach out to our customer service so that our team is also aware of the issue. We recommend that you do so within 24 hours from the time delivery notification is sent out. 

Standard Shipping Fees: Typically $4.99. Possibly more depending on carrier of choice 

We find that most of our customers receive their purchases within 3-5 business days of processing. We ship standard orders using USPS First Class Mail.

Expedited Shipping-Cost/timeframe vary based on option selected at checkout

Expedited shipping cost varies for domestic US shipping destinations. Expedited shipping typically takes up to 4 business days to arrive.

Please note:  we cannot guarantee shipping speed/timeframe, nor influence the process with the USPS. Our guarantee is fast processing time, and that we will upgrade the shipping speed to Priority, per the order request. Should you decide to pay for expedited shipping, and package is delayed, we are not responsible nor liable. as a result, we do not issue shipping refunds on all expedited shipments, unless it was delayed by Sungrubbies team. 

UPS ground takes 1-5 business days.

International Customers

International Orders are welcomed. Shipping charges default to carrier charges which are presented during the checkout process. You will be prompted to select the most suitable option between all available carriers.

If you have any questions email [email protected].

If your country does not show as an option during shipping, please send us an email at [email protected] and we will see if we can accommodate shipping to your destination. Not all destinations can be shipped to.

Lastly, please note that you will be responsible for any customs/VAT/duties, if applicable, at the time of delivery. In many cases, if a consumer refuses to pay the taxes associated with the transaction it gets rejected and sent back to us. We would not refund the shipping charges we incurred if a package is rejected for nonpayment of duties/taxes owed.

Customs, duties and other fees assessed by the destination country for an item can NOT be paid to the United States Postal Service® when the item is mailed. The recipient of the mail-piece is the only one who can pay the customs fees.

All items entering a foreign country are subject to customs inspection and assessment of duties, taxes, and fees in accordance with that country's national laws (this fee is also collected in the United States on inbound international items). Customs duties and taxes are assessed, generally, if the item sent is dutiable and if the value of the item is above the threshold set by the country's laws. Each country assesses customs, duties, and taxes. Check the World Customs Organization website for general information, or visit the website of that country's customs service.

It is important to understand that, if duties and taxes are assessed on an item mailed via the Postal Service™, they are collected from the recipient. Postage is charged to cover the expense of delivery only. Postage does not cover charges assessed by customs in the destination country.

It is also important to keep in mind that packages may be delayed due to customs or even local carriers, which in most cases is out of our control. In fact, due to the limited tracking available in many countries, we find very little information as to what is happening in real time with some of these package. 

international shipping fees are none refundable unless package was lost in transit.

New Mexico Heat

I put these umbrellas out on Thursday and sold one Friday morning! We hope to sell many more for the summer.

I wanted a light-weight sun shade umbrella to take to Egypt with me and got a very heavy one instead. Not what I was looking for and it will not make the trip with me.

Love my Sungrubbies umbrella

I've had my umbrella about a week and use it every day. I live in Tempe AZ and am out in the sun several hours a day. My Sungrubbies goes with me whenever I'm outdoors! I just love it!

the service is great!

My sunbrella

I like it so much that I bought five more for gifts. I highly recommend it.

Comparison Chart

When on vacation, golfing or strolling on the beach, our folding umbrella is a portable solution to protect you from overheating, getting your eyes burned or any skin damage.

What is the difference between the UV-Blocker Folding Umbrella?

The Compact UV umbrella has a smaller handle, folds down to a smaller size, and is meant for occasional use. If you need an umbrella for a shorter period, then the compact one is good to go. The Travel UV umbrella has a more oversized, more comfortable handle and more robust frame. If you are traveling to a place where you will need the umbrella for a longer period of time, then this one is well-suited for your needs.

The Large Folding UV umbrella has a larger, more comfortable handle, heavy-duty frame, and can cover two people. If you plan to go with someone to a beach or any other place, this umbrella is an ideal option.

Supplying quality UV umbrellas that are effective in blocking 99% of the harmful UVA and UVB rays is important to me, you see in 2003 I was diagnosed with stage one Melanoma, and I had to find a way to continue enjoying the time on the beach with my family and still stay protected.

We designed the UV Blocker sun umbrella line in 2005 and for the past 18 years we have been dedicated to improving and developing different sun umbrella models so you can enjoy your outdoor active lives.

What Leading Dermatologists Are Saying About the UV-Blocker Umbrella.

My patients routinely ask me about other uv-protective options besides sunscreen.

“My patients routinely ask me about other UV-protective options besides sunscreen and sun avoidance. Now, I have another fantastic option for my patients. Being a UV-Blocker umbrella user myself, this travel umbrella has many purposes besides rain protection. I highly recommend the UV-Blocker umbrella to you and your family for its compactness, ease of use and storage, durability, coolness, and most importantly, its sun protection against skin cancer and premature aging.” Dr. David A. Kasper, DO Dermatology & Skin Cancer Institute - Lansdale, PA

It’s not just the Baby Boomers who I have been treating for sun-related skin damage

“It’s not just the Baby Boomers who I have been treating for sun-related skin damage including skin cancer. I have seen an increasing number of younger individuals with varying degrees of UV-related skin problems…problems that are most often preventable. I spend vacation time with my grandchildren on Rehoboth Beach in Delaware. The first items we pack are our UV-Blocker Beach Umbrellas.

“An all-to-common result of exposure to the sun is actinic keratosis. Usually affecting older adults, it can develop on the face, lips, ears, back of hands, forearms, scalp, and neck. The rough, scaly skin patch enlarges slowly and can eventually become cancerous. The UV-Blocker umbrella is one of the most effective defenses against this type of sun damage on the market today. I highly recommend it to patients who spend time outdoors in sunny conditions.” Dr. Aradhna Saxena, MD Dermatology & Skin Cancer Institute - Fort Washington, PA

The 10 Best Travel Umbrellas, Tested & Reviewed

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

Most compact

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Best Travel Umbrella for Rainy Destinations

The best travel umbrella will do more than keep you dry. From rainy afternoons to long days exploring a new city in the sun, this list has you covered.

For trips as short as a weekend in a new city to months-long excursions across the globe, a travel umbrella is essential to staying dry, out of the wind, and safe from the sun’s harmful rays. Whether you fall on either end of that spectrum or somewhere in the middle, this post will help you find the best travel umbrella for you.

Most umbrellas are built with rain in mind, but some go further to protect the user from wind and UV rays. Depending on what you’re using it for and what you expect from a compact umbrella, you might opt for a model that excels at different things.

If you have fair skin and hate being wet, go for an umbrella with more coverage that has excellent UV protection. You might not focus on that if you don’t often go somewhere where the sun is harmful. If you only care about not getting wet, you might go with a durable model that won’t get a hole in it or turn inside out in a big gust of wind. Whatever your needs, there’s a travel umbrella out there for you, and we’re here to help you find it. Let’s dive in!

• Montbell Travel Umbrella
• Blunt Metro Umbrella
• Repel Umbrella Original Umbrella
• Amazon Basics Compact Umbrella
• Davek Mini Umbrella
• EEZ-Y Travel Umbrella
• LifeTek Travel Umbrella
• Balios Travel Umbrella
• Lewis N. Clark Travel Umbrella

If weight is the most important thing for you in your quest to find the best travel umbrella, we have the pick for you. Not only is the Montbell Travel Umbrella extraordinarily lightweight, it’ll keep you dry in the rain, too.

It comes in at a meager 3 ounces, which won't weigh down your pack, sling , or hand. At the time of writing, it comes in Sunset Orange, Blue Black, and White colorways. They look outdoorsy, but the White option doesn't look out of place in an urban environment.

It isn't the most compact umbrella when packed down, but it'll work for most uses. Plus, the materials are still durable, so it will last you as long as you take good care of it. It feels flimsier than others we tested, but it operates as we'd hoped.

If you don't mind the outdoorsy look and want a model that won't weigh you down, this might be the best travel umbrella for you!

• It weighs just 3 ounces
• The materials are durable enough for most uses
• It’s small but long when packed down
• It might not be the best choice for rugged adventures

When it comes to umbrellas, there are three points to look at. How does it handle precipitation? Can it be used in the wind? And how well does it block UV rays from the sun? Luckily, with the Blunt Metro Travel Umbrella, you're covered in all three areas—literally.

At the time of writing, there are eight colorways to choose from, so you can find something that matches your style. The materials will stop rain, wind (within reason), and harmful UV rays that can harm your skin. The spine is crafted from aluminum, which is durable but remains lightweight.

The look isn't for everyone; however, considering this model will protect you from anything mother nature throws at you, it might be the best travel umbrella for you!

• Offers protection from rain, wind, and UV rays
• One umbrella can cover most situations while traveling
• The look isn’t for everyone
• Not the smallest option on this list

If you're looking for the best small umbrella that is as unique as you are, look no further than The Original Repel Umbrella. It features colorway designs that go further than just your favorite colors, from Blue Sky to Rainbow and Starry Night. No matter where you end up, you'll have an umbrella that matches the vibes you bring to the table.

This isn't the lightest or most compact umbrella on the market, but it can fit inside your travel backpack or daypack . Plus, it's a reminder that daily essentials don't have to be bland.

The button makes it easy to open and close again, so trips into and out of the rain are a breeze. The canopy has a Teflon coating, ensuring you stay dry and the top doesn't leak. Whether you're looking for something vibrant for your daily excursions or something unique to set you apart in an unfamiliar city, this might be the best travel umbrella for you!

• Comes in multiple patterns and designs in addition to solid colors
• Simple design is easy to use
• It isn’t very lightweight
• Canopy doesn’t feel very durable

I bet you wondered when you'd see an Amazon product on this list. In the modern era, it's hard to escape Amazon Basics gear, and your search for a travel umbrella has likely landed you on their page, wondering whether or not it can be any good for the price. Luckily for you, we're here to say that it is!

The design has a wind vent to prevent the interior from flipping outward in heavy winds, yet it keeps you dry in a torrential downpour. The Amazon Basics Travel Umbrella is a great shout, no matter the weather.

The build quality isn't the best we've seen; however, it's hard to beat for the price. At the time of writing, this umbrella comes in at under $20. For how well it performs, we think it's a solid option in your search for the best travel umbrella for your next trip!

• The wind vent helps ensure it doesn’t flip inside out
• It comes at a budget-friendly price
• The build quality isn’t the best
• Not many colorway options

If you're looking for a small umbrella that fits into the palm of your hand, look no further than the Davek Mini. It isn't the lightest model we've tested; however, there isn't much to complain about at eight ounces.

When closed, it's around seven inches long. Yup, just over a half foot! At the time of writing, there are ten colorway options, so you can snag one that matches your travel gear. The logo is relatively large compared to the size of the umbrella, but we don't mind that much. How often are you showing off your travel umbrella?

Size isn't everything, but the Davek Mini keeps you dry from precipitation, which is what matters. It doesn't excel in use for two people, but you'll both have your heads covered! Be sure to pack a rain jacket if that’s how you plan to use it. For those looking for a just-in-case model that does the job without taking up much room, the Davek Mini might be the best travel umbrella for you!

• It fits into the palm of your hand when compressed
• Has good coverage for such a small umbrella
• Won’t work well for two people
• The loop on the handle doesn’t feel very durable

We've got you covered if you're looking for a compact budget umbrella that comes in various colorway options. The EEZ-Y Windproof Travel Umbrella is around $15, has 14 colorways available, and has Amazon Prime shipping (at least at the time of writing)!

The design utilizes a two-tiered canopy (some might call it a slit) to ensure the wind doesn't turn the umbrella inside out, but it keeps you dry in the process. The shaft is fiberglass, which is typically more durable than aluminum but is heavier. The canopy material doesn't feel as stable as others we've tested, but it's holding up strong.

Considering the price point, colorway options available, and durability of the spine, this might be the best travel umbrella for you!

• The button open and closure is snappy and quick
• Budget-friendly price point
• Materials aren’t the highest quality
• It feels cheap while using it

There's something appealing about a simple umbrella without any frills—a model that simply gets the job done. Right? The LifeTek Windproof Travel Umbrella checks that box and has a wide width, which we dig. What else can you ask for?

The Teflon-coated canopy does the heavy lifting as far as precipitation is concerned. The opening and closing mechanism is made of hardy fiberglass, lightweight aluminum, and versatile resin for a smooth process. The button is easy to click, making using this compact umbrella quick and stress-free.

There are 42 and 45-inch canopies available, which are wide enough for two people to stay mostly dry, but be prepared to get snug together. If you want a simple model to complete the job, this might be the best travel umbrella for you!

• Has a Teflon coating for water protection
• Does well in windy conditions
• It can be difficult to close
• Getting the cover back on takes some learning

Many budget-friendly umbrellas have handles that are subpar. The mechanism is sound, but carrying it for extended periods can be uncomfortable. Enter the Balios Travel Folding Umbrella!

Materials are top dog here. The handle is made of wood and feels comfortable to hold onto, even for an extended period. The shaft is crafted from steel, which is more durable than fiberglass or aluminum. The case has a zipper, which makes it easier to open and close than those without an opening.

All those materials considered, this compact umbrella is heavier than most on this list. However, it's still a good size for travel and will fit inside most packs without much fuss. If you want premium materials and are okay with the weight, this model from Balios might be the best travel umbrella for you!

• The handle feels and looks premium
• It’s wide enough for two people to use
• It’s on the larger side of travel umbrellas
• Wood might not last as long as some synthetic materials

A budget-friendly compact umbrella is ideal for trips that might get rugged or that you'll need to bring many things home. If you lose it, you won't be bummed; if it makes it back, it's a bonus. The Lewis N. Clark Travel Umbrella fits the bill and works wonderfully in the interim.

There are nine colorways available at the time of writing, so you can get one that matches your vibe. The handle is made of rubber, which is comfortable to hold onto.

The umbrella handles well in wind and rain, which is the most important thing. The materials aren't the most durable, but we haven't had any issues with them failing so far! If you want a basic option that won't break the bank, this might be the best umbrella for you!

• Budget-friendly pricing
• Numerous colorways available
• Might not last long on rugged adventures
• Colorways aren’t always spot-on with images online

So there you have it; some of the best travel umbrella models on the market. Whether going to a city or on a rugged adventure, hopefully, you’ve found an umbrella that’ll keep you dry on your journey!

7 Best Travel Umbrellas – Pack Light & Stay Dry (2024 Reviews)

When I packed for my trips, it always seemed like the last item I remembered to include was a travel umbrella. I once got caught in Mexico City in a sudden downpour far from my hotel, leaving me too soaking wet to continue sightseeing. I had to turn back, and let’s just say the soggy return journey to my hotel wasn’t a fun one.

I know from experience how important it is to have a reliable travel umbrella when taking a trip. They’re light and won’t weigh you down, but they’re durable and will actually keep you dry if you get caught in the rain.

1. So you can get out and explore even in the rain.

I’m slightly obsessed with checking the weather forecast when we go on vacation. I want to be able to plan our activities based on the weather, but as we all know, the weather is unpredictable. Plan to bring an umbrella on days that it might rain as well as days it looks unlikely. You don’t want to risk getting soaking wet and catching a cold on your vacation. You also don’t want to be stuck inside all day because you don’t have an umbrella to help you brave the rain. Choosing a reliable travel umbrella will let you continue to explore even on rainy days.

2. So you don’t overspend on a poor-quality umbrella.

Maybe you’re thinking you’ll take your chances and not pack an umbrella. If it does rain you can easily find one at any gift shop anyway, right? While this may be true, I think we all also know how overpriced and poor-quality gift shop items are. You’ll end up spending way too much on an umbrella that probably won’t even last one rain shower. It happened to me! I bought a cheap umbrella in Mont-Saint-Michel, France and it turned inside-out with the first gust of wind. It’s better to be prepared, buy a quality travel umbrella before your trip, and you’ll save yourself some money and a lot of trouble.

3. To protect yourself from the elements.

The best travel umbrellas, 1. hero travel umbrella, (most well-rounded — $$).

Why it’s great: This umbrella has all the important features that a travel umbrella should have. It’s windproof and won’t collapse on you thanks to the strong, but lightweight fiberglass-reinforced ribs. It weighs less than a pound and comes in at just a foot long, making it super portable and comfortable to carry around. The canopy is coated in Teflon so it’s ultra waterproof and it’s 25% bigger than most travel umbrellas with a canopy of 46 inches so you can fit two people underneath. The added hard case is also an awesome bonus that you won’t see with most travel umbrellas.

Keep in mind: It’s only available in black so that could be a downside for those who love color.

View on Amazon.com ➜

2. EEZ-Y Travel Umbrella

(double vented design — $).

Why it’s great: This umbrella is available in a rainbow of fun colors. It’s one of the more lightweight umbrellas on the list at only 0.9 lbs and when folded is only 11 inches long. It also boasts durable materials and a windproof design.

Keep in mind: Since this umbrella is slightly more lightweight and compact than others, there is less room under the canopy than with other umbrellas.

3. Repel Travel Umbrella

(sturdy design — $$).

Why it’s great: The auto open and close makes using this umbrella a breeze. It’s built to withstand all kinds of weather with its nine fiberglass-reinforced ribs. The fun patterns set it apart from other travel umbrellas.

4. Amazon Basics Travel Umbrella

(best budget option — $).

Why it’s great: If you’re looking for a budget, no-frills option, then Amazon Basics has got you covered. This travel umbrella is small, lightweight, and gets the job done at a low cost.

Keep in mind: It lacks some premium features like windproof fiberglass ribs and Teflon coating that other umbrellas have.

5. Yoobure Mini Umbrella

(best compact option — $).

Why it’s great: This is the most lightweight umbrella on our list, but it still boasts an excellent windproof design and UPF 50+ protection on sunny days when you want to stay cool and protected from the sun.

Keep in mind: Since this lightweight umbrella weighs just half a pound it’s smaller than most and is best suited for one person.

6. Rain-Mate Travel Umbrella

(nicest colors — $).

Why it’s great: This travel umbrella is a sturdy, lightweight option for your next trip. It has a lifetime replacement guarantee so you know you can depend on it for many years to come.

Keep in mind: If sun protection is important to you, you may not want to choose one of the lighter-colored options as they let more light through.

7. Lanbrella Travel Umbrella

(most unique design — $$).

Why it’s great: The unique, inverted folding design of this travel umbrella makes sure surfaces and your belongings don’t get wet when the umbrella is folded. It’s also one of the larger travel umbrellas and comfortably fits two people under the canopy.

Keep in mind: It might be easy to forget that the umbrella is wet when folded so be sure to let it dry before packing it away for good and be careful that it doesn’t splash when opening.

Hero Travel Umbrella

It’s fast-drying and odor-resistant so you can store it away until you get back to your hotel without worrying it will start to smell. Hang it up and in no time it’s dry and ready to be used again and again.

2. Raincoat

Using a raincoat along with an umbrella will ensure you stay as dry as possible. It will also provide an extra layer to keep you warm in case of any chilly wind. By packing an umbrella and a raincoat, you’ll be prepared for whatever the weather throws at you.

3. Waterproof Shoe Spray

A waterproof spray will keep your shoes protected and your feet comfortable. Nothing is worse than walking around in wet, soggy shoes. A waterproof spray will protect your shoes and keep your feet dry. It also works as a stain repellant to help keep your shoes clean and free from stains.

FAQs about Travel Umbrellas

1. what’s the ideal size of a travel umbrella.

An ideal travel umbrella is compact and lightweight enough to carry in a day bag. Ideally, it’s less than a foot long and weighs under a pound so you can comfortably carry it around. If you want to be able to fit two people underneath then a canopy size of more than 42 inches is recommended.

2. For what countries should I pack a travel umbrella?

Most countries have sporadic rain showers year-round so it’s good to pack a travel umbrella no matter where you go. However, countries close to the equator tend to have rainy and dry seasons so look into what season it is when you plan on visiting.

3. What’s better to pack, a raincoat or a travel umbrella?

An umbrella does a better job overall at keeping you dry. With a raincoat, just your upper body stays dry and your pants tend to get soaking wet. An umbrella is also better in cities because it can be put away more easily than a raincoat and is less likely to get other things wet when stored properly.

What we can do during a trip is often dependent on the weather. It can often make or break the day’s plan, but it doesn’t always have to. Having a good travel umbrella can mean the difference between staying in the hotel all day or getting out and exploring. These well-made travel umbrellas have got you covered for all of your exciting trips to come!

The Rain-Mate Compact Travel Umbrella offers decent coverage and has all the makings for a good product, but it’s best suited for lighter, low-wind rainstorms. 

• Performance
• Portability
• Competition
• Final Verdict

We purchased the Rain-Mate Compact Travel Umbrella so our reviewer could put it to the test. Keep reading for our full product review.

The Rain-Mate Compact Travel Umbrella comes in a tiny size that makes it highly appealing for travelers. You can stick this umbrella in your suitcase or purse and virtually forget about it, given it weighs just one pound and packs up to just 12 inches in length. 

As a traveler, I was particularly intrigued by the performance promises. This tiny umbrella was designed to outlast wind and storms despite its compact size. To find out if this was one of the year’s best travel umbrellas , I took the Rain-Mate out on a test-run during a rainstorm in New York City. Read on to find out whether or not it lived up to my expectations. 

Performance: Struggles with the wind

Based on its 42-inch canopy, I had a feeling this umbrella would keep me dry—and it did. It’s a spacious umbrella with more than enough room for one. Then the wind hit. The NYC waterfront has some mighty gusts of wind, and the Rain-Mate Compact Travel Umbrella simply couldn’t withstand them. After the third gust, the umbrella flipped, leaving me scrambling to flip it back as I dodged puddles and sought shelter.

Unlike many cheap umbrellas that flip once and go kaput, this umbrella has fiberglass ribs that make it easy to flip back.

To test it out in milder weather, I took the umbrella to Central Park on a breezy, sunny day. I used the umbrella to stay cool while reading on the lawn. Yet again, one gust too many sent this umbrella flipping. 

Here’s the good news, though: Unlike many cheap umbrellas that flip once and go kaput, this umbrella has fiberglass ribs that make it easy to flip back. Would I prefer it not to flip at all? Of course. But at least you won’t need an entirely new umbrella whenever a little wind hits.

Design: A large canopy that opens quickly 

When I first used the Rain-Mate Compact Travel Umbrella’s auto-open button, I was blown away by two things. First, I loved how quickly it opened. When I’m traveling, I’m often running in and out of stores, public transit, or restaurants, so the quick auto-open, auto-shut feature controlled by a button on the rubberized handle makes the umbrella highly functional when I need it most. 

Another impressive feature? Despite its tiny size, this umbrella’s canopy reaches 42 inches. While I could have fit someone else under the umbrella with me, I enjoyed keeping it all to myself—because I stayed pretty dry! (That is, until the wind hit.)

The quick auto-open, auto-shut feature controlled by a button on the rubberized handle makes the umbrella highly functional when I need it most.

While the manufacturer site doesn’t specify what material was used for the canopy, it feels like nylon to me. Unfortunately, it does not have UV protection features. While it kept me cool (when it wasn’t flipped out) during my sunny day at Central Park, I would’ve been better off with an umbrella built with UV protection . 

Portability: A compact, easily packable size

This umbrella weighs about one pound and packs down to 12 inches via a three-fold telescopic shaft, making it easy to stash in a travel purse or my go-to travel backpack . Given the umbrella’s size, it’s easy to throw it in a carry-on suitcase and forget about it—until you’re on a trip and need it!  

Despite its tiny size, this umbrella’s canopy reaches 42 inches.

Price: On par with competitors

At around $20, the Rain-Mate Compact Travel Umbrella is priced fairly and is comparable to its closest competitors. It costs more than the cheapest umbrellas, but it works slightly better. Plus, it’s guaranteed for life; no matter what happens, the company will replace it free of charge.

Competition: Can’t beat the competition

Repel Windproof Travel Umbrella: When comparing the Rain-Mate Compact Travel Umbrella with the Repel Windproof Travel Umbrella , both of which I tested, you’d expect the Rain-Mate to be much cheaper. It’s not nearly as durable, it flips out in the wind (when the Repel umbrella doesn’t), and it lacks Teflon waterproof material. Yes, it has a lifetime guarantee, but so does Repel. And yet, the Rain-Mate Compact Travel Umbrella is around $20, while the Repel Windproof Travel Umbrella—the better option, in our opinion—is only about $5 more. Both come in virtually identical sizes with similar colors, so the obvious choice—the one that withstands wind!—is the Repel Windproof Travel Umbrella.

Bodyguard Travel Umbrella: I also reviewed the Bodyguard Travel Umbrella, which packs down to about the same size as the Rain-Mate Compact Travel Umbrella (the Bodyguard closes to 11.5 inches long, while the Rain-Mate is 12 inches). When expanded, though, the Bodyguard is far and away the winner. It reaches 46 inches, 4 inches wider than the Rain-Mate umbrella. That means multiple people can fit under the Bodyguard umbrella. And while the Bodyguard umbrella is not as durable as the Repel Windproof Travel Umbrella, it’s much more durable than the Rain-Mate umbrella, which feels flimsy when compared to its two main competitors. When it comes to the Rain-Mate versus the Bodyguard, the Bodyguard is the better choice. When it comes to all three umbrellas, the Repel Windproof Travel Umbrella takes the cake. 

The Rain-Mate Compact Travel Umbrella is far from perfect. Similarly priced competitors work better when it comes to wind, but this umbrella does its job in the rain—and it comes with a lifetime guarantee.

#1 – Best Overall: Repel Windproof Travel Umbrella

Repel Windproof Travel Umbrella is our pick for best overall compact travel umbrella.

• 11.5 inches long
• 36.5 inches wide

The Repel windproof travel umbrella sets the bar high. This umbrella is lightweight, strong, and even offers fully reversible designs that can withstand windy weather. 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.

#2 – Most Portable: HERO Travel Umbrella

Meet the most portable umbrella: HERO Travel Umbrella

• 13.74 inches long
• 40 inches Wide

Gunning for the crown is this upstart travel umbrella, a new option that has turned heads as quickly as kept them dry. 

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

Our pick for best wind protection is Goothdurs Windproof Travel Umbrella

• 12.4 inches long
• 40 inches long

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.

Wrap it all up in the included carrying case and take this compact umbrella wherever the storm finds you. If you’re looking for the best windproof umbrella then you can’t go wrong with this number!

#4 – Most Convenient: LANBRELLA Inverted Umbrella

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

Meet the most stylish umbrella: Kate Spade Raindrop Travel Umbrella

• 40 inches wide
• 12.75 inches long

Sometimes it’s worth splurging to look good. Pop-out in a rainstorm with the high-quality coverage provided by this less adventurous travel umbrella. It comes with a convenient wrist strap and automatic open capabilities. 

This umbrella can’t fold in half and won’t break any space-saving records, but it doesn’t weigh much more than some of the lightest travel options on the market, and it will provide a splash of much-needed colour on a cloudy day.

#6 – Best Lightweight: Umenice Automatic Travel Umbrella

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

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

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

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

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. 

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.

Still, have some questions? No problem! We’ve listed and answered the most commonly asked questions below. Here’s what people usually want to know:

Do I really need a travel umbrella?

What’s the difference between a travel umbrella and a normal umbrella?

A travel umbrella can be folded and packed into such a compact bundle that it’s easily fitting in even the smallest pack. They’re also lighter than normal umbrellas.

Warm sunshine feels good on the skin, but UV (ultraviolet) rays can have damaging effects. Long-term exposure to UV can cause wrinkles, loss of skin elasticity, liver spots, and in severe cases, skin cancer. Even on cloudy days, skin can be exposed to UV light, and a UV umbrella serves as excellent protection against ultraviolet light.

The best UV umbrella protects you from up to 99 percent of UV—both UVA and UVB—exposure and is well constructed to last a long time. A UV umbrella is a great first line of defense against sun damage, which is especially handy if you run out of sunscreen.

Just below are the top picks for the best UV umbrellas. Keep reading to learn more about these protective umbrellas.

• BEST OVERALL: G4Free 62/68 Inch UV Protection Golf Umbrella
• BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK: Cuby UV Sun Umbrella Compact
• BEST INVERTED: Spar. Saa Double Layer Inverted Umbrella
• BEST TRAVEL: Sungrubbies UV Travel Sun Umbrella Lightweight UPF 50
• BEST WIND-RESISTANT: LifeTek Kingston Umbrella – Quality Cane Umbrella

What to Consider When Buying the Best UV Umbrella 

An umbrella that’s intended for UV protection explicitly indicates the amount of UV protection it offers. The best UV umbrellas have maximum UV protection, quality construction, and are a convenient size.

UV umbrellas are useful if you’re on the move; if you’re staying in one place, a beach tent or patio umbrella are other options for sun protection. Your intended use for the umbrella should dictate which type you should purchase. Here are some features to consider when selecting the best UV umbrella.

Size and Canopy Strength  

The size of the umbrella you select depends on your coverage needs.

• Umbrellas typically use an arc and diameter measurement. The arc measures the canopy distance from the tip of one rib to the tip of the opposite rib. The diameter is the straight-line distance from one end of the umbrella to the other.
• The size of the UV umbrella you need depends on how many people need coverage. Singles and travelers may want a smaller-size umbrella or parasol. Larger canopy umbrellas are suitable for those with family members, significant others, or those who want more coverage. A beach umbrella is too big to be practical for daily use, but it’s excellent for the beach.

Stronger canopies are made from more rugged materials and use high-quality stitching to hold the panels together and attach them securely to the ribs. The larger the canopy, the more susceptible it is to factors like wind. For windy areas, double-canopy umbrellas allow wind to escape without inverting the umbrella.

UPF Rating 

The ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) rating is a universal system measuring the sun-blocking effectiveness of a UV umbrella. It tells the user how much UVA and UVB radiation a fabric protects from—the higher the UPF rating, the better the sun protection.

Factors such as product construction, color, and chemical treatments enhance a UPF rating. UPF is different from SPF (sun protection factor), which is a measurement of how much UV radiation is required to burn skin.

Under the U.S. UPF rating system, there are three categories:

• Good protection has UPF values of 15 and 20. This blocks approximately 93.3 percent to 95.8 percent of UV rays.
• Very good protection has UPF values of 25, 30, and 35. This rating blocks approximately 96 percent to 97.4 percent of UV rays.
• Excellent protection has UPF values of 40, 45, 50, and 50+. This protection offers approximately 97.5 percent to 98 percent of UV blockage (though some manufacturers claim UPF blockage of 99 percent).

UV umbrellas are made from thicker material than a traditional rain umbrella , allowing for better protection from the sun. The fabric for umbrella canopies should be densely woven for better protection. Common types of UV umbrella canopy materials include:

• Polyester. A popular but less expensive option that feels smooth and protects well against UV with a protective coating. It has many fabric color options, but it can wrinkle, and it has poor water resistance without treatment.
• Pongee. This medium-weight woven material has a finely dimpled appearance, giving the fabric additional dimension rather than a smooth surface. It’s a stable, quality fabric offering good UV protection and water handling, but it’s more expensive than polyester.
• Canvas. This umbrella fabric usually blends cotton with synthetic fibers, making it a bit heavier. This material is a suitable option for beach umbrellas, and with treatment it can be waterproof.

UV umbrellas generally use one of two types of fabric. The first type uses a protective black coating that absorbs UV light or a silver coating that reflects UV light. The second type of fabric used in UV umbrellas is a UV-coated polyurea geotextile cloth that doesn’t have any additional coating inside the umbrella.

Opening Button vs. Manual Opening 

Some umbrellas have a button on the handle to conveniently open (or open and close) the canopy. Automatic opening at the push of the button requires just one hand, making it fast to open and easier to operate for those for whom dexterity is a challenge.

The interior mechanism may make the umbrella a touch heavier and more expensive than a manual option. The drawback to automatic-opening umbrella buttons is that if the mechanism or button stops working, there may not be another way to open the umbrella.

Manual-opening umbrellas are generally more lightweight and less expensive than umbrellas with opening buttons. These require the user to open an umbrella using both hands: one to hold the handle and the other to slide open the canopy. Manual opening mechanisms aren’t prone to breaking too easily, so they may last longer. They usually have safety catches to hold the umbrella open.

3 Best Travel Umbrellas

Hey there my fellow travel enthusiasts and welcome to my post where we will check out my three best travel umbrellas for some rain free movements this year. Travel umbrellas are designed to be compact and lightweight, making them easy to carry around in your luggage or backpack.

They are also durable and sturdy, able to withstand heavy rain and wind. So for those of you looking around for a good umbrella to suit your travel needs, I have had a good look around and come up with three decent options below.

Let’s check them out…

My Three Recommended Best Travel Umbrellas

I will review these in more detail below. Still, if you want to get moving without all the carry-on, my recommended products are listed here for your convenience: 

What is a Travel Umbrella?

A travel umbrella is a compact and portable umbrella designed for easy transport and use while traveling. Its primary purpose is to provide protection from rain, snow or the sun when you’re on the go. Travel umbrellas are smaller and more lightweight than regular umbrellas, making them convenient to carry in a purse, backpack , briefcase or suitcase .

One of the best options on the market for travel umbrellas is the compact folding umbrella. These umbrellas are designed to fold down to a small size, making them easy to carry around. They are also lightweight and made from durable materials that can withstand heavy rain and wind.

What Should You Be Looking for?

When it comes to buying a travel umbrella, there are a few things to consider to ensure that you get the best product for your needs. Here are some factors to keep in mind:

Size and Weight

The size and weight of the umbrella are important considerations, especially if you plan to carry it around with you for extended periods. A compact and lightweight umbrella is ideal for travel, as it won’t take up too much space or add unnecessary weight to your luggage .

Canopy Material

The canopy material is another important factor to consider. Look for an umbrella with a durable and water-resistant canopy material, such as polyester or nylon. A double canopy may also be beneficial, as it provides extra protection against wind and rain.

Frame Material

The frame material is also important as it affects the durability and stability of the umbrella. A frame made of fiberglass or aluminum is lightweight and strong, making it ideal for travel. Avoid umbrellas with frames made of cheap materials, as they may not hold up well over time.

Automatic vs Manual

Consider whether you want an automatic or manual umbrella. An automatic umbrella opens and closes with the push of a button, making it convenient to use. However, it may be more prone to breaking than a manual umbrella. A manual umbrella requires more effort to open and close, but it is generally more durable.

UV Protection

If you plan to use your umbrella in sunny locations, look for one with UV protection. This will help to protect your skin from the harmful effects of the sun’s rays. Some umbrellas come with a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) rating, which indicates the level of protection they provide.

Other Features

Other features to consider include:

• The handle design – A comfortable handle can make the umbrella easier to hold for extended periods
• The number of ribs – A higher number of ribs can make the umbrella more stable in windy conditions
• Carrying case – A carrying case can be useful for protecting the umbrella when it’s not in use.

Are umbrellas allowed in carry-on luggage for flights?

Yes, umbrellas are generally allowed in carry-on luggage for flights. However, it’s important to check with your airline to ensure that there are no specific restrictions or guidelines that you need to follow.

My Three Recommendations Broken Down

So based on the information above and my own experience, I recommend the following options:

1. SY COMPACT Travel Umbrella

If you’re looking for a durable and lightweight travel umbrella, the SY COMPACT Travel Umbrella might be the one for you.

• The umbrella’s compact size may not provide as much coverage as larger umbrellas.

Why have I chosen it?

The SY COMPACT Travel Umbrella is a great option for those who need a reliable and compact travel umbrella. Its durable design and superior waterproofing make it a great choice for those who frequently travel to areas with unpredictable weather.

Buyer's Guide: Travel Beach Umbrella

Key factors to consider.

• Size: Choose an umbrella with a size that suits your needs. Consider the number of people it needs to shade, the area you want to cover, and how compact you need it to be for carrying.
• Portability: Look for a travel beach umbrella that is lightweight and easy to transport. Check if it comes with a storage bag or a carrying case to make it convenient to take with you wherever you go.
• Durability: A durable umbrella is essential to withstand windy beach days. Look for features like a sturdy frame, strong fabric, and secure anchoring mechanisms. Reinforced ribs and a reliable central pole can also enhance stability.
• Sun Protection: Ensure your chosen umbrella provides ample protection from the sun's harmful rays. Look for a high UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) rating, which indicates the level of UV ray blockage.
• Adjustability: Opt for a travel beach umbrella that offers various angle adjustments to provide shade at different times of the day. This feature allows you to adapt to the sun's movement for maximum comfort.
• Ease of Setup: Consider umbrellas with user-friendly mechanisms for quick and hassle-free setup. Look for features like push-button opening, effortless locking systems, and clear instructions.

Types of Travel Beach Umbrellas

• Traditional Umbrella: This classic style umbrella features a solid central pole with a canopy attached to the top. It is often the most affordable option and provides effective shade.
• Offset Umbrella: Also known as a cantilever umbrella, this type features an offset pole that allows you to position the shade without having the pole in the center. It provides versatile shading options and is ideal for larger groups.
• Tilting Umbrella: These umbrellas offer adjustable angles to keep you shaded as the sun moves across the sky. They often come with a push-button or crank mechanism for easy adjustment.
• Travel Umbrella with Sand Anchor: Designed for stability, these umbrellas have a built-in sand anchor that can be twisted or buried into the sand for secure anchoring.
