Umbrella: perfect protection from the wet

Whether you're hiking, walking across meadows and fields or doing any other outdoor activity - a downpour can surprise you at any time. Either take shelter until the rain subsides or equip yourself with suitable rain protection beforehand. So that you don't get completely soaked on the go and don't have to wait long for better weather, you can protect yourself with either a weatherproof jacket, a rain cape or an umbrella.

Transa offers umbrellas plus spare accessories in numerous different versions - suitable for young and old and as models for men and women. Of course, umbrellas are not only suitable as hiking or trekking umbrellas, but you can also effectively protect yourself from the wet or even the sun with an umbrella in everyday working life or during recreation.

Umbrella: light and quickly ready for use

On changeable days or for long trekking tours, you should not do without an umbrella.

You can recognise good umbrellas by the following features:

• It is light, compact and handy, so you can easily stow it in any bag.
• The umbrella can be opened very quickly so that it is immediately ready for use in the event of a sudden downpour and protects you from getting wet. Many models can be opened simply by pressing a button (automatic umbrella) and then closed again just as easily. Other models can be opened manually with ease.
• The umbrella seams are robust and reliably prevent moisture from penetrating even after a long period of use.
• The handle is very sturdy, soft and ergonomically shaped so that you can hold it comfortably for a long period of time.
• The umbrella shaft and frame are made of robust, rustproof materials such as aluminium, steel or fibreglass.
• The umbrella cover (e.g. polyester fabric) has a dirt and water-repellent coating.
• A protective cover with carrying strap enables the umbrella to be transported safely. Some models can be attached to your backpack thanks to an extra clip, ensuring that you have your hands free when you're out and about.
• A few of the most sophisticated models have a compass integrated into the handle, which you can always use on your outdoor tours.
• Most handles can be held well in any temperature thanks to a rubber coating with foam rubber or neoprene coating.
• Some extendable models have a telescopic shaft so that you can flexibly adjust the length.
• You can also use the umbrella on sunny days, where it provides practical shade when you're out and about.

Let the umbrella dry well

After every rainfall, you should not simply fold the umbrella up again straight away, but allow it to dry well first. Due to the fast-drying materials, this does not take very long, but is necessary to prevent moisture from building up inside or even mould from forming. Simply leave the sunshade open in a dry place until the fabric is completely dry. Then you can fold it up again and store it in your luggage.
