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: Good looking and practical - I bought this a a gift and it turned out to be a great choice. It fits nicely in a briefcase and packs away in a waterproof pouch. It feels sturdy and is easy to put up and down. The recipient is extremely pleased with it. It looks good, particularly the wooden handle, and appears to be of good quality. ## Features - ICONIC BRITISH DESIGN – Designed in London with a patented luxurious handmade real-wood handle for a refined classic feel - AUTO OPEN & CLOSE – One-touch automatic mechanism opens and closes at the press of a button; press again to correct the ribs if it inverts - GENEROUS YET PORTABLE – Opens to a large 103cm/40.5in canopy yet folds to just 35cm/13.8in and weighs only 395g/13.9oz, easy to carry and store - WIND-RESISTANT VENTED CANOPY – Vented double canopy with hardened steel shaft and thickened fibreglass ribs, engineered to help resist windy conditions and reduce inversion - ARTISAN CRAFTSMANSHIP – Ultra-soft 300T high-density water-repellent fabric, 146 painstaking production steps and 18 points of inspection on every umbrella - 1-YEAR WARRANTY – Backed by a one-year warranty direct with Balios.

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 ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic, Sturdy Little Brolly! *by A***R on 24 October 2019* 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!

It fits nicely in a briefcase and packs away in a waterproof pouch. It feels sturdy and is easy to put up and down. The recipient is extremely pleased with it. It looks good, particularly the wooden handle, and appears to be of good quality. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent quality -really glad I bought one! *by E***R on 10 April 2019* I've been looking for a stylish, compact and effective umbrella for those "emergencies” when you haven't got your big brolly with you for quite a while now. I stumbled across the Balios Travel Umbrella and was immediately drawn to it. A fantastic range of colours, effective looking design, stylish, modern, not too expensive - perfect for leaving in the car or office... so I figured I would give it a go. I've looked at a few others on the high street or in larger supermarkets, but never really found one that looked like it would do the job. Packaging: The umbrella arrived safely in the normal Amazon packaging overkill style, although to be fair I know that Amazon likes to package creatively in order to make the best use of its delivery options. The umbrella itself was inside a drawstring protective bag, giving another layer of protection during transit. Inside this was the brolly itself, complete with zipped stowaway bag, and a wrap of paper around the handle (also to protect from damage during shipping). The zipped bag is easy to remove and replace but might be fiddly if the brolly is still wet. My new brolly is very YELLOW! In use: I live and work in the North East of Scotland - when it blows a gale and rains up here it does it properly. Safe to say that despite recent weather patterns having given us an unusually mild and dry spring (so far), I got the chance to try out my umbrella the day after I received it. In the past, I have taken my large "gustbuster" style umbrella for walks in the rain; it's tried and tested and gives an enormous coverage, but in true pioneering fashion I decided to try out my new travel umbrella. I was not disappointed in the slightest. Moderate gusts did not phase the brolly one bit thanks to the vents, it was big enough to give me shelter from the decent amount of rain pushing down on me, and as an added bonus the bright yellow was highly visible in the murk! In summary: The Balios travel umbrella is a solid, well designed and attractive brolly, well worth the £20 in my humble opinion! Would recommend to anyone. ## Frequently Bought Together - Balios Folding Umbrella Real Wood Handle Auto Open Close Vented Canopy - OXO Good Grips Soft Handled Tin Opener, Black/Silver - OXO Good Grips Accent Mess Free Salt & Pepper Set --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/48002881-folding-umbrella-real-wood-handle-auto-open-close](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/48002881-folding-umbrella-real-wood-handle-auto-open-close) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-10-04*
