Weatherman Travel Umbrella review

The Weatherman Travel Umbrella has the most complete spec sheet of any compact here. Weatherman lists a 38 in open diameter, a 42 in full arc, an 11.8 in closed length and a weight of 0.85 lb, and says it is wind-tunnel tested up to 45 mph. The fabric is 100% recycled, water repellent and rated UPF 50+, so it doubles as a sun umbrella in hot destinations. A button opens and closes it, 360° reflective trim makes you visible at night, and a wrist strap is included. Weatherman backs it with a lifetime warranty and certifies the fabric under FSC, TC and GRS. At $69 it costs more than the ShedRain and Repel, and its own size chart positions it for light rain and one person, with the larger Trek model for heavy rain. Some colors were on pre-order when we checked. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test the umbrella.
