Spring and summertime are lovely, but they can bring the occasional wicked shower or storm, too. But being prepared and carrying an umbrella doesn't have to be a major investment or a burden. In fact, Amazon is selling a $25 heavy-duty Gorilla Grip Windproof Compact Stick Umbrella for just $12 at the moment, and it's available in a variety of colors.
Gorilla Grip Windproof Compact Stick Umbrella, $12 (was $25) at Amazon
This heavy-duty, all-weather umbrella is made of fiberglass, iron, and impact-resistant thermoplastic. It offers 20 UPF ultraviolet protection and fade resistance; it's also waterproof, rust-resistant, designed to resist ripping and tearing, and its reinforced fiberglass ribs are rated to withstand up to 23-mile-per-hour winds.
The umbrella canopy expands up to a max width of 42 inches, and the whole product weighs less than a pound, so it's ideal for backpacking, commuting, or any mode of travel. Its one-click design allows it to both open and close with a single button, so it only ever requires one hand. The umbrella is available in at least 18 colors and style patterns, and the best news of all is that this great deal is valid on several different options, including navy, black-and-white polka dots, a unique “spiral” pattern, and gray.
“You won't get wet — this umbrella is very sturdy,” wrote one reviewer. “I work outside on morning duty every single day, rain or shine, and this has helped to keep me dry on the wettest of days.”
Whether you have a daily commute, do a lot of walking for fitness or pleasure, or plan on taking a trip into the city soon, a lightweight, backpack-friendly umbrella is a must. Save 52% on the all-weather Gorilla Grip Windproof Compact Stick Umbrella at Amazon for a limited time.
