StormShield™ Windproof Auto-Open Umbrella
StormShield™ is a one-button automatic umbrella with a flexible 10-rib aluminum frame, built for the days cheap umbrellas give up on you.
- One button. Both hands free. Press once to open, press again to close. Made for the moments you're holding a coffee, carrying groceries or getting in and out of the car.
- Flexes back instead of snapping. Ten aluminum ribs on a flexible frame. When a hard gust catches it, it bends and springs back into shape, where cheap umbrellas break.
- Clips on, never left behind. The ring handle hooks onto your backpack, stroller or bag, so it's there the second the rain starts.
- Rain or sun. Our classic colours have a black UPF50+ coated underside that works as a parasol on hot days.
- Compact, with real coverage. A 42in (106cm) canopy covers you and your bag, then folds down small enough for your tote or car door.
About our edition colours: Blush Pink, Midnight Navy and Sage Green are our Reverse-Fold editions. Same ring handle and size, but the canopy closes inside out so the wet side tucks in, handy when you're getting into the car. Edition colours use a lighter 280T fabric that is the same colour inside and out, without the black UPF50+ coating. Our five classic colours (Obsidian Black, Misty Gray, Haze Blue, Forest Green, Sand Beige) are the forward-fold model with the black UPF50+ underside.
Backed by our 30-day money-back guarantee.

How It Works
How It Works
- Press to open. One press and the canopy pops open.
- Press to close. Press again and the canopy folds down.
- Push down to lock. Push the shaft down against your palm or the ground until it clicks. It feels firm at first and loosens with use.
- Clip it and go. Hook the ring handle onto your bag, stroller or cart.
Made for the moments your hands are full: holding a coffee, carrying groceries, or getting in and out of the car.
Will It Hold Up In Wind?
Will It Hold Up In Wind?
It's built for everyday wind and rain. The 10 aluminum ribs are flexible, so a strong gust can push it out of shape, but it flexes back instead of snapping like a cheap umbrella. No umbrella is storm-proof in extreme wind, and we won't pretend otherwise.

Why StormShield Actually Holds Up
Every design choice here is built around one problem: most umbrellas fail exactly when you need them most. Here's what's different about this one.
The problem
Your last umbrella flipped. This one flexes back.
Cheap umbrellas lock rigid until a gust snaps a rib. StormShield's ten flexible aluminum ribs bend with the wind and spring back into shape, so a bad gust is a moment, not the end of your umbrella.
Why Carry A Weaker Umbrella?
Most umbrellas lock rigid, fight you to close and end up in the trash after one windy day. Here's how StormShield compares.

What Independent Research Says About This Category
How Windproof Umbrella Frames Hold Up In Testing
How Windproof Umbrella Frames Hold Up In Testing
Independent product testing from Reviewed.com found that the best-performing windproof umbrella frames are built to flex under gusts and spring back into shape, rather than staying rigid until they crack. That's the same flex-not-snap principle behind StormShield's frame.
What Wind Speed Actually Breaks An Umbrella? (Beaufort Wind Scale)
What Wind Speed Actually Breaks An Umbrella? (Beaufort Wind Scale)
The Royal Meteorological Society's Beaufort Wind Scale is the standard meteorological measure for wind strength: Force 4 ("Moderate Breeze") is 13-18 mph, Force 6 ("Strong Breeze") is 25-31 mph, Force 7 ("Near Gale") is 32-38 mph. Most standard umbrellas are held up by eight thin ribs, which is roughly the point where umbrellas commonly start turning inside-out. StormShield uses ten flexible aluminum ribs, so wind load spreads across the whole canopy instead of concentrating on a few points, following the same flex-and-recover principle noted above. We haven't had it independently wind-tunnel certified to a specific Beaufort force, so we won't put an exact number on it.
What Owners Commonly Report About This Umbrella Style
What Owners Commonly Report About This Umbrella Style
Looking across owner feedback for auto-open windproof umbrellas in this category, a few patterns come up repeatedly: the frame tends to flip inside-out in strong gusts and pop back into shape without breaking; the auto-close button can need a firmer, two-handed press, especially once the canopy is wet; UV/sun-blocking performance gets praised almost as often as rain performance; and on units with a clip-style handle, owners use it constantly to hang the umbrella off a bag, stroller, or similar instead of hand-carrying it. These are general patterns reported for this style of umbrella, not reviews of this specific listing.
Made for full hands
Easy as 1, 2, 3, 4.
Press to open. Press to close. Push down to lock. Clip the ring handle onto your bag, stroller or cart and forget it's there until you need it.

Got Questions? We've Got You
Will this really stop flipping in the wind?
Will this really stop flipping in the wind?
Very strong gusts can push any umbrella inside out, and we won't pretend otherwise. StormShield uses ten flexible aluminum ribs instead of the eight most compact umbrellas use, so when a gust does catch it, the frame bends and pops back into shape instead of breaking. And if it doesn't hold up for you, our 30-day guarantee has you covered.

How does the auto open/close work?

Is it easy to carry around?
Is it easy to carry around?
Yes. It folds to about 15 inches (38cm), small enough for a tote, backpack or car door pocket, and the ring handle clips onto a backpack, stroller, golf bag or cart so you don't have to hold it.
Is it big enough for two people?

Why are you talking about El Niño?
Why are you talking about El Niño?
NOAA's Climate Prediction Center is currently forecasting a greater than 90% chance of a very strong El Niño this winter, which typically means more frequent storm systems, especially across the South, Gulf Coast, and Southern California. That's simply this year's forecast, not a claim about your specific location, check your local forecast too.
