Flex Plus Umbrella

An umbrella that fits in your bag but doesn’t leave you wishing for a bigger one. The Flex Plus packs into a backpack, briefcase, carry-on, or large purse, then opens to a canopy measuring 42 inches along the arc and 39 inches from tip to tip.

Press the button in the rubberized handle to open the canopy; press it again to close. Push the collapsed shaft back into the handle to reset it for next time. An aluminum shaft, flexible fiberglass ribs, and a vented canopy help it handle gusty weather. If a gust does turn it inside out, close it with the button, reset it, and reopen it to bring the canopy back into shape.
