Automatic Pocket Umbrellas for Easier Handling

One of the most popular umbrella types is the automatic pocket umbrella. These are essentially the same as classic models, but with one small difference — they’re easier to handle. Unlike traditional umbrellas, which must be manually opened, automatic pocket umbrellas open and close at the push of a button. It’s not only convenient but also time-saving — and when it’s raining heavily, every second counts. That extra time can make the difference between staying dry or getting soaked.
Tip: When choosing a pocket umbrella, most people focus solely on size. Admittedly, it’s one of the most important criteria for this type of umbrella. However, there are other factors you should consider, such as a firm grip and a sturdy frame.
Not Just the Usual Brands
As with other types of umbrellas, the compact pocket versions are also dominated by well-known brands. Doppler in particular has long been synonymous with high quality and is one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of all kinds of umbrellas. In addition to these familiar names, we also offer products from a range of other brands. Among them are umbrellas from the following:
- Bugatti
- Ergobag
- Esprit
- Reisenthel
- Samsonite
With this selection, we aim to ensure that there’s a suitable umbrella for every taste. These brands aren’t just available for pocket umbrellas — even if you’re looking for a different type of umbrella, you’ll find products from a wide range of manufacturers here on bags.co.uk.
Variety of Designs for Every Taste
A good umbrella doesn’t just offer excellent protection. It should also feel comfortable in your hand, be easy to store, and impress with its design. The latter is particularly important when making your choice. After all, if you like the umbrella, you’re far more likely to use it regularly. If you don’t, it might just end up forgotten in a closet. That’s why we offer designs for every taste — whether you prefer bold colors or simple elegance.
Be Careful When Storing
Because of their compact size, pocket umbrellas are often placed somewhere in the house right after use. However, that’s not advisable — especially when they’re still wet. Before you even think about storing your umbrella, make sure it has completely dried. Only then should you place it in a dry location away from direct sunlight. Unlike stick umbrellas, you don’t need a dedicated hook or special holder. Just be sure to follow basic storage conditions; otherwise, you might end up dealing with unpleasant issues like mold.
Frequently Asked Questions About Pocket Umbrellas
What Is a Pocket Umbrella and How Does It Differ from Other Types?
Pocket umbrellas don’t differ much from other types of umbrellas. They serve the same purpose, and the designs are often similar. The main difference lies in their compactness. These telescopic umbrellas can be folded down easily, allowing them — as the name suggests — to fit into a pocket. Even if not, they’re still much more space-saving than traditional umbrellas. However, this smaller size also means a smaller canopy, which can be a disadvantage in some situations.
What Materials Are Used to Make Pocket Umbrellas?
Both automatic pocket umbrellas and other compact models are made from several different materials — otherwise, the construction wouldn’t work. The materials differ for the frame, handle, and canopy. The frame is usually made of aluminum or fiberglass, while the handle is often rubber or plastic, and the umbrella canopy is typically made of nylon or polyester. The specific materials used depend largely on the umbrella’s quality. Some are more premium than others. For example, nylon is considered higher quality than polyester due to its superior elasticity, though it’s also more expensive.
Are There Special Pocket Umbrellas for Travel?
Thanks to their compactness and light weight, nearly all types of pocket umbrellas are suitable for travel. Still, if you want to be extra sure, you can opt for an especially small model. Whether that’s a good idea is another question — smaller umbrellas naturally have a smaller diameter, which in turn reduces the amount of protection they provide.
