Umbrella: perfect protection from the rain

Whether you're hiking, walking through meadows and fields, or doing any other outdoor activity, a downpour can catch you by surprise at any time. You can either wait until the rain subsides or equip yourself with suitable rain protection beforehand. To avoid getting completely soaked on the go and having to wait a long time for better weather, you can protect yourself with a weatherproof jacket, a rain cape, or an umbrella.

Transa offers umbrellas and replacement accessories in a wide variety of styles – suitable for young and old, as well as models for men and women. Of course, umbrellas are not only suitable as hiking or trekking umbrellas, but also in everyday working life or leisure time, you can effectively protect yourself from wetness or even the sun with an umbrella.

Umbrella: light and quick to use

On changeable days or for longer trekking tours, you should not forget to take an umbrella with you.

You can recognize good umbrellas by the following features:

  • It is lightweight, compact, and handy, so you can easily store it in any bag.
  • It opens very quickly, so that the umbrella is immediately ready for use in a sudden downpour and protects you from getting wet. Many models can be opened at the touch of a button (automatic umbrella) and closed again just as easily. Other models can be opened manually with ease.
  • The umbrella seams are robustly constructed and reliably prevent moisture from penetrating even after prolonged use.
  • The handle is very sturdy, soft, and ergonomically shaped so that you can hold it comfortably even for long periods of time.
  • The umbrella shaft and frame are made of sturdy, rust-proof materials such as aluminum, steel, or fiberglass.
  • The umbrella cover (e.g., polyester fabric) has a dirt- and water-repellent coating.
  • A protective cover with a carrying strap allows you to transport the umbrella safely. Some models can be attached to your backpack with an extra clip, leaving your hands free when you're on the go.
  • A few clever models have a compass integrated into the handle, which can always come in handy on your outdoor tours.
  • Most handles can be held comfortably at any temperature thanks to a rubber coating with foam rubber or neoprene.
  • Some extendable models have a telescopic shaft, allowing you to adjust the length flexibly.
  • You can also use the umbrella on sunny days, where it serves as a practical shade provider when you're out and about.

Allow the umbrella to dry thoroughly

After each use in the rain, you should not simply fold the umbrella back up again, but allow it to dry thoroughly first. Thanks to the quick-drying materials, this does not take very long, but it is necessary to prevent moisture from accumulating inside or even mold from forming. Simply place the umbrella in a dry place until the fabric is completely dry. Then you can fold it up again and stow it in your luggage.
