For a powerful yet portable companion, The AOAC Jumbo Compact offers a 54-inch arc that shields you and a friend, while neatly collapsing to just 15 inches.

2 & 3. The Classics
For those seeking fashion that never goes out of style, our Reverse‑Closing Stick and Vintage Manual Stick umbrellas are timeless standouts.
Reverse-Closing Stick Umbrella
Classic design meets smart function. The canopy of our reverse-closing umbrella collapses up, trapping water inside and funneling it away from you—ideal for entering and exiting cars or buildings. A must-have for men who value both practicality and style, this umbrella redefines what a modern classic should be.

5. The Tech‑Lover
SHED RAIN Vortex™ Vented AOAC Compact
Featuring our greatest wind technology ever, this compact is for the man who knows there’s no such thing as bad weather. Patented Vortex engineering is wind tunnel-tested to withstand gusts up to 75 mph, while built-in vents allow air to flow smoothly, rather than billowing inside the canopy. Auto open/auto close ensures one-handed convenience, and novel colorways like Lime, Stone, and Ocean let you freely express your mood.
