Top 5 Umbrella Upgrades Before Winter Hits

Browse our latest collection and sign up for Black Friday early access. Upgrading before winter means no surprises when the storms arrive and no missing out on the colours you love. To get you ready though, here are our top five tips to egt you Winter-ready.

1️⃣ Upgrade your canopy size

Do you regularly arrive at work with rain on your shoulders? A larger canopy provides better coverage. Compact umbrellas are ideal for commuters and day trips because they fold down and open at the push of a button . Full‑length umbrellas offer a traditional look and more coverage for events or long walks . Golf‑style brollies deliver maximum protection .

Pro Tip: Bigger is better – but only if it’s wind‑tested .

2️⃣ Insist on true windproof technology

An umbrella is only as strong as its frame. Look for designs featuring double canopies, flexible fibreglass ribs and vented structures . All Best Brolly models are tested in simulated high‑wind tunnels with ribs that bend, not snap .

3️⃣ Decide between compact and full‑length

Compact umbrellas are perfect for travel and tight spaces, but they sacrifice some coverage. Full‑length umbrellas can’t be stashed in a backpack as easily, yet they offer better balance and longevity. Golf‑style brollies feel substantial and are ideal for stormy days .

4️⃣ Refresh your style

If your umbrella “doesn’t spark joy anymore” , it’s time for a change. Colour choices like Mint Rain, Sky Cyan and Navy Night make rainy days feel brighter . Elegant canopies and matte or wooden handles elevate your look .

5️⃣ Invest now to avoid disappointment later

Buying a cheap umbrella that breaks after a week means you’ll spend far more replacing it throughout the year . Invest once in a windproof Best Brolly and you’ll have a companion that lasts for seasons . Upgrading now ensures you’re prepared for Black Friday and ready when the biggest sales hit .

Pro Tip: Check your current umbrella for bent ribs, torn canopy or a sticky auto‑open mechanism – if you find any of these, it’s time to replace .
