## Description

Compact but mighty, our small travel umbrella is ready to accompany you on your daily adventures. It weighs under a pound and is less than 12 inches long – the perfect size for a purse or small backpack. Reinforced fiberglass plastic defends against inverting and breaking and the canopy fights off winds up to 45 mph, making it a windproof travel umbrella. Weatherman was conceived by nationally recognized meteorologist Rick Reichmuth. After years in the field covering severe weather events, Rick couldn’t find an umbrella that met his standards. So he decided to design it himself. Our Our mini umbrella for purse is a perfect size to fit in your to-go totes, backpack or even the glove compartment of your car. We've added technology to create the best umbrellas. The canopies of all Weatherman Umbrellas are coated in a proprietary solution that allows them to repel water and dry quickly. Ready to go inside? Simply shake the umbrella before collapsing completely and you're good to go. Feel safer when out in the weather with the reflective trim that is applied to the canopies of all Weatherman Umbrellas, making you more visible to others on the sidewalk and crossing the street. All Weatherman Umbrellas are designed with durability in mind. Each style is put through the wind-tunnel test to make sure they can withstand the storm. We truly believe in making products that positively impact our customers' lives, giving them a better experience in everything from commuting in the rain to walking their dog to being protected from UV damage on the golf course. Our umbrellas are guaranteed by a lifetime warranty that covers any malfunction or defect to the handle, frame, canopy, or anything else that functionally impairs the umbrella. If it breaks, we will fix or replace it for you. Please note that this guarantee does not cover natural wear and tear, misuse, and damages caused by improper care.

Review: This is no cheap umbrella knock off - A very reliable quality umbrella that will withstand winds of up to 45 mph. Looks & feels robust made from reinforced aluminium & industrial grade fibre glass. Designed with safety in mind with reflection material added to the outer canopy piping for dark nights in use, very effective. The canopy fabric opens & closes at a push of a button, however it will not fully close automatically. Cover sleeve included with company logo printed upon it. When open the canopy cover measures approximately 40 inches in diameter. A nice chunky grab handle with a looped thick nylon wrist band. Approximately 12 inches long closed, weighing 388 grams. The canopy fabric is recycled & water repellent with the added advantage of UPF sun protection. This umbrella comes with a lifetime warranty which needs registering with Weatherman.com covering materials & workmanship. Very easy to do & minimal questions asked in the process. However be prepared for the manufacturer to contact you regularly with new promotions & discounts. As I understand it the owner of this business was actually a weatherman for a tv station in the USA who was so disgruntled by the quality of the umbrellas available in the market place he came up with his own design & standards. This is my third Weatherman in current use, I agree they are not cheap but as long as you are not the kind of person that looses them you will find them value for money. Why am i fan? Because it’s understated & doesn’t embarrass you when you depend on it time after time, not to mention the lifetime warranty the company stand by.
Review: The orange option is stunning - To have a vivid orange umbrella in your bag for those gray dismal rainy days is such an uplifting thing and the quality of the product is phenomenal so put together its style and it's functionality it is an absolute winner in my opinion

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this umbrella have a steal core? its rather steep in price compared to other bands please explain why!**
A: The Travel Umbrella is made of reinforced fiberglass plastic which defends it against inverting and breaking. We had to be very selective in choosing the materials for this variant since it was designed to be compact and light-weight compared to our other products. It only weighs under a pound and is less than 12 inches long, comes with water-repellent fabric, and can fights off winds up to 45 mph. Finally, our umbrellas come with a lifetime warranty. We kept the pricing for our products proportional to the technology and warranty that it comes with. I hope this helps!

**Q: Does this brand of umbrella offer UV protection?**
A: The Golf Umbrella mentions a UV protection of spf 50 on the Weatherman website.  I suggest that the shopper research the particular Weatherman umbrella they are interested in buying, on their website.  And then return to Amazon and complete the purchase of the one that meets their needs.

**Q: How long is the shaft on the travel umbrella when it’s opened?  I’m worried I will have to hold it up near my chin.**
A: Dear N. Dorbitt:

Since this umbrella is "compact" the shaft is not very long.   I would estimate it is about two feet in length, but you will not have to hold it that close obviously due to the space of your arm when it is bent.  Only if you use it on a windy day is when it is difficult to hold it away from you.   I hope this answer helps you to decide whether you wish to purchase it or not.

**Q: Is this made in the united states**
A: They do not seem to have a "Made in..." statement anywhere on the packaging.  However, I emailed the company and they told me that the umbrellas are made in China.  Meh.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The orange option is stunning

To have a vivid orange umbrella in your bag for those gray dismal rainy days is such an uplifting thing and the quality of the product is phenomenal so put together its style and it's functionality it is an absolute winner in my opinion

### ⭐ Broken after 1 month!
*by J***Y on 15 November 2022*

So I bought this as I was moving to Cardiff, and it’s rainy and windy so I needed something strong. However after using about 10-20 time, 2 of the hinges don’t work so it goes up but they don’t collapse well so I now can’t pack it in it’s cover. For £70 pounds I expected it to be strong and last, but the hinge is already faulty yet
