Why this gift works

The BLUNT Metro Travel Umbrella has a 39.4-inch canopy, closes to 14.8 inches and weighs 13.6 ounces, per BLUNT. Its Radial Tensioning System holds the canopy taut to resist wind, rounded BLUNT tips replace sharp rib ends, it opens with a push button, and it carries a 2-year global warranty. This is the Ink Black color.

Cheap umbrellas turn inside out on the first windy corner. For a son who walks or takes transit to work, this is the everyday upgrade that earns its price every rainy season.

Who is this gift for?

Great for

  • A son who walks to work
  • Rainy-city commuters
  • Business travel

Think twice if

  • He always drives
  • He loses umbrellas

The catch

It costs well over $100, it is longer closed than the most compact umbrellas, and OutdoorGearLab found its scalloped canopy let in more rain than some rivals.

Skip if he drives everywhere, or loses umbrellas regularly.

What to look for in a good umbrella

  • Wind. Tensioned or vented canopies survive gusts.
  • Size. Compact models fit a bag; bigger canopies keep you drier.
  • Warranty. A long warranty signals it is built to last.
