This compact travel umbrella weighs 400g and folds to 19cm x 6cm — small enough for a handbag, daypack, or carry-on side pocket. When open it spans 96cm, which is enough to cover your shoulders and bag in a downpour. The double-layer dark fabric with black rubber coating blocks UV rays and resists heat, while the multi-layer steel and glass fibre frame flexes in wind rather than inverting.
Travel Gear has stocked this umbrella since 2015. We're an Australian-owned travel accessories retailer based in NSW, and this is one of our most consistently reordered products — customers come back for a second colour or buy one for a family member. It's the kind of thing you forget you have until you really need it.

Who It's For
It suits commuters who get caught in Sydney or Melbourne afternoon showers, hikers who want UV cover on exposed trails, and anyone who spends time at outdoor markets, beach towns, or open-air events where the weather turns without warning. The ergonomic handle means you can hold a coffee or a child's hand without juggling the umbrella.
If you're building out your travel kit, it pairs well with the rest of our travel accessories — all chosen for the same pack-light, practical travel approach we've applied since we opened.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this umbrella actually windproof?
Yes. The glass fibre and steel frame is built to flex rather than snap. It handles typical Australian coastal gusts reliably. It's not rated for extreme storm conditions, but for everyday wind and rain it holds up well.
How strong is the UV protection?
The double-layer dark fabric with black rubber coating provides solid UV blocking suitable for Australian sun exposure during commutes and outdoor activities. It reduces direct UV exposure significantly, though it's not a substitute for sunscreen on extended outdoor days.
Will it fit in a handbag?
At 19cm x 6cm folded, it fits in most handbags, tote bags, and backpack side pockets. The protective storage case keeps it from snagging on anything else in your bag.
What colours are available?
Black, Beige, White, Pink, Green, Purple, Blue, Yellow, and Dark Blue. Each colour is shown in the product images above.
How long does shipping take?
We dispatch from NSW within 1 to 2 business days. Standard Australia Post delivery is typically 2 to 7 business days depending on your location.
Is there a warranty or return policy?
If your umbrella has a manufacturing defect, contact us and we'll sort it out. Our team is based in Australia and responds within one business day. We also accept returns within 30 days of purchase for change-of-mind situations.
What does the optional phone holder do?
The umbrella phone holder clips to the handle and holds your phone, freeing up both hands. It's useful for navigation while walking in the rain. Select it as an add-on when ordering.
