THE WORLDS SMALLEST AUTOMATIC UMBRELLA

Carried inconspicuously in a purse or trouser pocket, this is the smallest umbrella available that opens and closes the canopy with the push of a button. Only available from Hammacher Schlemmer and just 8 inches long when closed, the umbrella instantly deploys its generous 40 inche canopy when a button on its handle is pressed. When the skies clear, a second press of the button collapses the canopy (as with all umbrellas, the shaft must be manually retracted). Designed by a third-generation umbrella maker based in rainy Portland, Oregon, the umbrella is constructed with a nylon canopy and steel shaft, ribs, and stretchers that withstand breezes better than flimsily built compacts made with plastic. And unlike other so-called compacts, it's small enough to keep on your person at all times, so you'll never get caught unprepared by a sudden downpour. With wrist strap and nylon sleeve. Closed: 8 Inches L x 2 3/4 Inches diameter. (9 Ounces) Black.
