Many a time it looked like it wasn't going to rain or the forecast didn't predict it, but it did rain, and that is the strength of this umbrella: it's small and light enough that you can take it in a bag with you without it being that much hassle. It can cope with moderate wind, but in strong wind, it keeps getting inverted. So I give up using it in strong wind. But after over three years of use, both brollies are still going strong, even though my son's one has been inverted dozens of times - the brolly sorts itself out when you compact it back down and then open it again. The brolly opens itself when you push a button. To fold it back down, you push it down yourself, which requires some strength. My son struggled to push his down at the age of ten. From about the age of 12, he could do it himself. The umbrella has moderate coverage, so if you are out in windy conditions with rain coming in at an angle, you're likely to get a bit wet at least on the legs. But it is a very good option to keep on you whenever you go out, and most of the time it will do a good job of keeping you dry. It looks smart and the durability has been great: I've used it for over three years with it chucked into my rucksack along with other stuff. I've used it many times, as has my son his, and both brollies still look in great condition. Good value for money for how smart it looks and how practical it is. I especially love the wooden handle, which gives it a quality feel and has a lovely pattern. Review: A superb umbrella: beautiful, elegant, and highly effective. Very much recommended. - In the past, I've avoided umbrellas. Not because I like getting rained on, but simply because I've - on the whole - had bad experiences from them. More often than not, the average umbrella will be bought in a hurry during a downpour from a nearby petrol garage, only to turn itself inside out within a matter of minutes, before being dumped in the bin. Well, I can tell you one thing straight away: Balios Umbrellas are *not* your average umbrella. As a lover of the finer things in life, I was absolutely delighted by the softness and beauty of the wooden handle, and as soon as I opened it up, it was clear this was a well-made, superior product that wouldn't let me down. Luckily (in a sense) it arrived through the post before I had to take my kids to school, and - this being England - it has already started to rain quite heavily. I pushed the button on the handle, my new umbrella unfolded itself with a smooth and impressive action, and I was off. Not only did I look great walking down the road with this elegant accessory, I was kept dry and safe from the downpour, too. The vents in the canopy allow the wind to move slightly through the umbrella, meaning there was never any danger of the item turning inside out and dragging me along the road. I was seriously impressed. I also love the smooth and sturdy mechanism of this device - it locks very satisfyingly back into place when you're done with it, and from there, you can keep it in its attractive carry case. I'm an absolute convert, and seriously won over the by affordable price and quality of this item. I would actually like to buy one for all my family members, too! ## Features - MODEL:DARK NAVY WITH REAL WOOD HANDLE; PERFECT LIFESTYLE ACCESSORY with Auto Open/Close feature - ICONIC BRITISH DESIGN - Designed in Britain (made in PRC); Patented luxurious handmade wood handle. - BEST MATERIAL POSSIBLE: 300T finest fabric; Steel shaft; Fiberglass ribs; Vented Double Canopy. - ARTISAN CRAFTSMANSHIP & RIGOROUS QUALITY CONTROL: 146 painstaking steps, 18 points of inspection. - International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B075RGFLZ6 | | Best Sellers Rank | 885 in Fashion ( See Top 100 in Fashion ) 13 in Folding Umbrellas | | Brand Name | Balios | | Canopy Diameter | 100 Centimetres | | Canopy Material | Polyester | | Care instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Colour | Dark Navy | | Country of Origin | China | | Country of origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 13,114 Reviews | | Frame Material | Alloy Steel | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00609132118470 | | Handle Material | Wood | | Included Components | user guide | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Outdoor | | Item Dimensions W x H | 117W x 7H centimetres | | Item Shape | Umbrella | | Item Type Name | Rain umbrella | | Item Weight | 386 g | | Manufacturer | Balios | | Material | Polyester | | Model Name | Compact | | Model Number | Bailos_umb_black&rubber | | Number of Items | 1 | | Opening Mechanism | Auto Open Button | | Part Number | Bailos_umb_black&rubber | | Pattern | Solid | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Recommended Uses For Product | Reise | | Shaft Material Type | Fiberglass | | Size | 46 inches | | Special Features | Durability | | Specific Uses For Product | Rain | | Style | Compact | | Target Audience | Adult | | UPC | 609132118470 798762910155 798762907780 | | Umbrella Tilt Mechanism | Auto Tilt | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Balios - **Color:** Dark Navy - **Specific Uses For Product:** Rain - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Travel - **Target Audience:** Adult - **Special Feature:** auto-open-and-close - **Shape:** Umbrella - **Shaft Material:** Steel - **Handle Material:** Wood - **Frame Material:** Alloy Steel ## Images ![Folding Umbrella Real Wood Handle Auto Open Close Vented Canopy - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71EpvTvR9vL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: The umbrellas button won’t seem to close the umbrella after it’s second go, any quick fix for this? - or even just to close it?** A: By pushing the close button the umbrella will only partially close.You will then need to close manually by pushing down from the top of umbrella till it clicks into place near the handle. **Q: How heavy is it?

The handle is a very attractive piece of wood that definitely gives the impression of premium quality. The Balios logo engraved in the wood is a nice touch in elegant cursive (although the little R in a circle next to it does spoil the effect a bit). The sleeve that comes with it is lovely as well; nice and secure when the zip is done up, with a that allows you to carry it on your wrist or attach it to a bag. Generally, I keep mine tucked in the open side pocket of my rucksack, where it fits very nicely. Even the little tag you will immediately remove and throw away has embossed text on nice thick card that will remind you of the business card scene from American Psycho - a very nice touch! The only thing that undermines the feeling of quality is a little wobbling and rattling when the umbrella is extended. I was in North Wales recently during storm Brian and the umbrella did admirably in the high winds thanks to the very sturdy spokes and the double vent, so I don't think this wobbling is actually a problem, it's probably a necessary effect of having the telescoping shaft, but I can feel it when using the umbrella and it just feels a little loose. For me, that's where it loses the fifth star. In terms of size when open, this is very much a one person umbrella. You can perhaps share with someone if you're close enough to put an arm around them, but you will each have one damp shoulder. I like this umbrella a lot in city use for that reason, I feel much less like a pavement-hog than if it had a larger canopy. The auto-open/close works well, I've had no problems and the button is large enough and well placed enough that you can find it by touch. Don't do what I did and press the close button while the umbrella's still above your head. I'm pretty sure it's obvious what will happen. Two caveats: 1. Careful how you place it when drying, if you leave it closed with the handle up any water will run through the vents into the inside of the umbrella. 2. If you have largish hands you may find the handle too small for comfort. I have pretty small hands for a guy and I find it is just on the small side of perfect, so if you have big meat hooks you'll probably find it disappears in your grip. ## Frequently Bought Together - Balios Travel Folding Umbrella with Real Wood Handle Auto Open Close Vented Windproof Canopy - Designed in UK - Repel Umbrella Windproof Travel Umbrellas for Rain - Easy Auto Open Close, Durable & Compact Umbrella, Strong Fiberglass Frame, Waterproof Canopy - Backpack, Purse, Portable Umbrella for Travel - Balios (Designed in UK) Travel Umbrella Luxurious Golden Hardwood Handle Auto Open & Close Windproof Frame Single Canopy Automatic Folding Umbrella Men's & Ladies --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/52375216-folding-umbrella-real-wood-handle-auto-open-close-vented-canopy](https://www.desertcart.is/products/52375216-folding-umbrella-real-wood-handle-auto-open-close-vented-canopy) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-06-09*
