The USA is a country where the consumer is king - so when the Good Morning America breakfast show reckons that this travel umbrella is the best of its type, it's worth a second look. Here's what you''ll find...

For a start, it opens and closes automatically with just the touch of a button on its slip-resistant rubberised handle.

The fabric is treated with Teflon, so it sheds raindrops faster than water off a ducks back. And the 56cm double canopy is vented so it won't blow inside out - even in gusts of up to 25mph.

With a frame comprised of eight resin-reinforced fibreglass ribs, and a chrome plated black metal shaft, it's incredibly tough and durable.

Slipping neatly into a carrying bag (complete with wrist strap), the Automatic Windproof Umbrella weighs just 430g and measures a compact 31cm in length.
