## Description

Product Description

Review: Fantastic, Sturdy Little Brolly! - I have had the worst luck with umbrellas in recent years - cheap ones invariably let me down, and I’ve long ceased trusting myself to remember an expensive umbrella on the bus or train! I’ve tried a number of brollys, from no-name emergency buys to major brands like Totes, and none have lasted - so with this in mind I did a bit of research and comparison before buying this one. My first impressions are that this is a well-designed and high-quality item, particularly when put side-by-side with a similarly priced umbrella from a well-known drugstore. The item came well packaged to protect the canopy and wood handle, and has enough heft to inspire confidence. The handle is made of a lovely dark wood, and is perfectly smooth with no imperfections or rough spots. It is exactly the right size for my (average-sized) hand which is a huge positive given how uncomfortable the tiny travel-style umbrella handles can be. The umbrella comes in a matching sleeve, which rather uniquely has a zip down the side to make it easier to get on and off - a small detail but suggests the thought and consideration put into the design of the product. Overall it is very elegantly designed and put together -they haven’t just slapped some fancy script font on a cheap brolly, but have paid attention to the details such as stitching that help it seem a bit more ‘high-end’. The umbrella itself is similarly well designed - pressing the open/close button expands the canopy forcefully, revealing the sturdy metal and fibreglass frame. It is definitely a step up from the standard, thin metal ribs you’ll find on a cheap model which gives me confidence this will last more than a few trips around windy West Yorkshire! The canopy is vented, which allows wind to pass through rather than stressing the umbrella frame - this is a great feature and definitely helps, although no brolly is really wind-proof so just bear that in mind. The canopy fabric is pretty standard and blocks water just fine - the light blue colour looks very handsome in person and goes well with the wood handle. Pressing the button again snaps the canopy shut, again with some force, which helps shake off excess raindrops. The brolly requires a surprising amount of force to fully retract into the collapsed form - on the one hand this is reassuring as it’s all very sturdy, but I do wonder if having such strong springs in the frame may raise the risk of something breaking down the line. However after years of flimsy umbrellas breaking on me I’d rather take my chances with something that might be ‘too strong’!! Overall I am very very impressed with this product - it has every feature I was looking for (fibreglass ribs, vented canopy) and some I didn’t know I wanted (zip on the sleeve)! It seems well-made and sturdy enough to last, without being too heavy and while having an elegant, smart appearance. My only possible note for improvement would be to add a carrying loop/strap to the handle itself - the included sleeve has a loop attached but it would be better for it to be on the umbrella handle itself so the brolly can be hung to dry. Such a minor point really, and definitely not a deal breaker by any means. This would be an exceptional product for £30, so for under £20 it’s one of the best deals out there.
Review: Excellent quality, built to last - We love these umbrellas. They are really well made and feel super durable compared to most folding umbrellas. The real wood handle is comfortable to hold and feels premium, and the auto open and close button works smoothly and makes it very easy to use one handed. The vented canopy also helps in stronger winds. Worth calling out that we bought two of these years ago and only needed to replace them because we lost them, not because they broke. That says everything about the build quality. Would happily buy again and recommend.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this umbrella be able to endure strong currents of wind without snapping/getting damaged?**
A: No - I just went into town during my lunch break and a sudden gust of wind snapped two ribs. I am now having to sit in the office soaking wet and looking for a replacement umbrella. Sadly, this British designed umbrella  is not up to the British weather !!

**Q: How big is the canopy? Is it 109cm inside or smaller? Also can two people fit**
A: The canopy is 90cm inside or 100 if you measure across the frame. Two people would fit under it as long as they are normal sized people.

**Q: How long is the stalk when fully opened? I'm annoyed by umbrellas that you have to hold just under your chin!**
A: Hello Mr. Hawkins, When fully opened, the umbrella measured approx. 63cm from top to bottom. We hope this information helps.Should you have any questions, please do let us know.Thanks,RickePorter Ltd

**Q: What is the diameter of the handle and tube of the unbrella?**
A: Diameter of the handle is 30-40 mm (graduated).  Umbrella length when closed 330 mm and when open 630 mm

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stylish, works like a dream & fabulous customer service!
*by S***S on 18 December 2025*

Quality, stylish, sturdy umbrella. Have had one of these for past 6 years & wouldn't buy elsewhere. They offer a 1 year guarantee which I used for the first time a couple of weeks ago when it blew inside out on a very windy day and broke (hence one star deducted). I sent Balios an email with my Amazon receipt & pics of the damage, they responded the very next day and I received a brand new replacement within a week! Very impressive customer service. Would highly recommend!!
