Compact Travel Umbrella – Anti UV, Windproof & Rain Protection
This compact capsule umbrella folds down to just 16cm x 6cm — genuinely small enough to disappear into a carry-on bag, handbag, or jacket pocket. At 90cm open diameter it gives solid coverage for one person in rain or sun, and the multi-layer steel and glass fibre frame flexes in wind rather than inverting. The black rubber UV coating with double-layer dark fabric blocks heat and UV rays, making it as useful on a scorching Brisbane afternoon as it is in a Melbourne downpour.
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.
Key Features
- Genuinely compact – folds to 16cm x 6cm, fits in a carry-on bag, handbag, or jacket pocket without taking up meaningful space
- UV and heat blocking – black rubber coating combined with double-layer dark fabric provides strong shading and thermal insulation, reducing heat as well as UV exposure
- Wind and rain resistant – multi-layer baked varnish steel and glass fibre frame flexes under pressure rather than snapping or inverting
- Ergonomic wrist-loop handle – slides over your forearm or wrist so you can answer your phone, carry bags, or hold a child's hand while staying covered
- Durable canopy fabric – high-density impact cloth; abrasion-resistant, waterproof, dirt-resistant, and fade-resistant
- 9 colours available – Black, Beige, White, Pink, Green, Purple, Blue, Yellow, Dark Blue

Who It's For
This umbrella suits commuters, frequent travellers, students, and anyone who wants a no-fuss backup umbrella that genuinely fits in a bag. The wrist-loop handle makes it practical for parents, shoppers, and anyone who needs both hands free. It works equally well as a sun umbrella on exposed trails or outdoor events as it does in rain.
It may not suit buyers who need a large canopy for two people, or those who prefer an auto-open mechanism.
If you're building out your travel kit, browse our full range of travel accessories — all chosen for the same pack-light, practical approach we've applied since we opened. Our travel umbrella collection covers additional compact and full-size options if you want to compare styles. For carry-on-friendly gear, see our travelling on planes collection.
Shipping & Returns
Dispatched from our NSW warehouse within 1–2 business days. Australia-wide shipping via Australia Post — standard delivery is typically 2–7 business days depending on your location. For full details see our shipping policy and returns policy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this umbrella actually windproof?
The multi-layer carbon steel and glass fibre frame is designed to flex under wind pressure rather than snap or invert. It handles typical Australian coastal and urban 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 black rubber coating combined with double-layer dark fabric provides strong UV blocking and heat dispersion, making it useful on hot sunny days as well as in rain. It's not a substitute for sunscreen on extended outdoor days. For evidence-based UV safety guidance, see the Cancer Council Australia sun safety resource.
How small does it fold down?
It folds to 16cm x 6cm — small enough to fit in a carry-on bag side pocket, handbag, or jacket pocket. The protective carry case keeps it contained and easy to find.
What colours are available?
Black, Beige, White, Pink, Green, Purple, Blue, Yellow, and Dark Blue — select your colour using the option above.
How long does shipping take?
We dispatch from NSW within 1–2 business days. Standard Australia Post delivery is typically 2–7 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 is the open canopy size?
The canopy opens to 90cm in diameter and 53cm in height — wide enough to cover one person's shoulders and a bag in rain.
