Umbrellas are a helpful tool to keep drenching rains (or burning rays) off your head. Whether your priority is durability, style, size, or ease of use, we’ve rounded up ten fantastic umbrellas to fit into any lifestyle and budget.
While all of our picks protect you from rain (and most of them, sans the quirky clear bubble one will work for the sun too) the variety of umbrellas we collected do so much more and will leave you wondering how you lived without them.
From umbrellas that work with one hand to umbrellas that hold your coffee when you’re on the way to work, help you see in the dark, or even keep your dog dry, we’ve found something for everyone!Best Automatic Umbrella: HQdeal Automatic Umbrella ($11)
Have you ever been stuck in the pouring rain, trying to push open your stubborn umbrella that just isn’t clicking? The HQdeal Automatic Umbrella has one button to automatically open and close the umbrella. The ease at which you can use this umbrella is great anyone—children, elderly folks, or anyone with physical limitations—who may struggle with pushing umbrellas open and closing them without getting soaked. Water won’t drip downwards after closing because of its inverted design, too, so you’ll be sure to stay dry! The HQdeal even has a safe-lock design that prevents the umbrella from popping open.
Best Reverse-Folding Umbrella: Spar.saa ($23)
While the previous entry also had an inverted design, the Spar.saa lets you close your umbrella in the opposite direction as traditional umbrellas, which that allows for better drying because you can hang it upside down with its c-shaped handle (either on your arm, on the handle inside of a car, on a door knob, a baby stroller, etc.). This umbrella also has a double layer design that allows you to fold the wet top later inside of the dry bottom layer as you’re walking inside or getting into your car. This keeps you and your surroundings completely dry from the rain that collects on the umbrella. Lastly, the Spar.saa umbrellas have lots of cool patterns and colors on their undersides that are also seen when the umbrella is inverted.
Best Umbrella to Combat Wind: Kolumbo Unbreakable Umbrella ($16)
There’s nothing worse than being stuck in the rain when your umbrella has flipped inside out. Luckily, the Kolumbo Unbreakable Umbrella has been tested to withstand up to 55 mile per hour winds so you can walk through a storm and stay dry. With its strong frame, if the Kolumbo is flipped inside out, it will quickly spring back into shape. Stay dry and have the peace of mind during those windy days that this umbrella is guaranteed not to break.
Best Compact Umbrella: Fidus ($25)
A lot umbrellas advertise that they’re compact, but the Fidus Mini Umbrella is a 7 ounce, 6.6 inch-long umbrella can fit in the palm of your hand—you won’t even believe that it’s 34 inches wide when open! It’s also perfect for…
