If you have ever been in a downpour, as shown in the above image, you know how important a well-functioning, high-quality umbrella is, especially if the winds are high. It’s too bad he didn’t have a raincoat over his suit as well.
When you have high-quality rain gear, such as a high-quality umbrella, rainy days can truly be enjoyable. If not, they can be miserable.
In this article, I am going to list for you what I believe are the five highest-quality Men’s umbrellas on the market today. Where possible, I will also link to the manufacturer’s website so that you can see their various umbrellas as part of your selection. So, let’s get into it!

1. The NTOI Unbreakable® Walking-Stick Umbrella
This umbrella, the NTOI Unbreakable® Walking-Stick Umbrella, really got my attention! If you go on YouTube and search for the name of this umbrella, you will find videos where people even attack it with machetes. It is a tough umbrella.
Never-Thought-of-It LLC makes this umbrella. They are headquartered in Vermont, in the United States. The creator of this umbrella says that “the Unbreakable Umbrella is for defending against elements, in every sense of the word.” They claim its shaft is “as strong as a steel pipe,” yet it weighs under 2 pounds.
These umbrellas are designed to not only open and close smoothly and function and last as a quality umbrella for a long time but also to help you defend yourself, should you need to.
Pros:
- Very Strong: The shaft and the mechanisms in this umbrella are strong. It is designed to be strong enough to aid you in fending off a violent attack.
- Functions Well: This umbrella opens and closes easily.
- Keeps You Dry: The fabric used in this umbrella is high-density polyester with anti-UV backing.
Cons:
- Price: Quality umbrellas often cost more than lesser-quality ones.
2. IlMarchesato’s Classic Gentlemen’s Black Umbrella
The IlMarchesato’s Classic Gentlemen’s Black Umbrella is a high-quality luxury men’s umbrella. One nice feature about it is that it comes with a genuine leather handle. The fabric used in this umbrella is “the finest Italian polyester.” Its shaft and frame open manually. They use gold-plated brass and fiberglass ribs for most of their umbrellas. This one, I believe, has a silver-plated brass shaft.
All of their umbrellas are handmade by IlMarchesato in Saluzzo, Italy. They have many different shapes, fabrics, and handle designs.
Some are a bit too gaudy looking for my taste. (Unless you happen to own a European castle, then they might match your gargoyles.) However, many are very sophisticated and classy-looking. I recommend looking over the manufacturer’s website at their selection.
Pros:
- Classy: This hand-made umbrella has a very classy, elegant look.
- High-Quality: This is a handmade umbrella. They use high-quality fabric, fiberglass, and real metal.
Cons:
- Price: Quality umbrellas often cost more than lesser-quality ones.
3. Davek Men’s Elite Umbrella
Davek Men’s Elite Umbrella is another very high-quality men’s luxury umbrella. But then all of Davek’s umbrellas are.
This umbrella has a full 50-inch arc-diameter canopy. It also has a soft top-grain leather handle with elegant stitching. You can use this umbrella for everyday use, but it is nice enough for formal occasions as well.
It has a flexible “wind-tension” frame system that resists inversion in strong winds. If you have ever had your umbrella flip inside out in a strong wind, you know why this is important.
Its shaft is made of high-grade fiberglass. It is solid and durable. It has what DaveK calls their “waterfall” dome-shaped canopy. Its fabric has a 210-thread count, the tightest weave for umbrellas. It is a high-quality, luxurious, yet practical umbrella.
Pros:
- High-Quality: Its fabric, fiberglass shaft, and leather handle show this is a quality umbrella.
- Wide Arc: This umbrella has a full 50-inch arc-diameter canopy.
- Resists Inversion: It has a flexible “wind-tension” frame system that resists inversion in strong winds.
Cons:
- Price: Quality umbrellas often cost more than lesser-quality ones.
4. Pasotti Men’s Brown Luxury Horese Handle Umbrella
The Pasotti Men’s Brown Luxury Horese Handle Umbrella, as well as all of Pasotti’s umbrellas, are very high-quality umbrellas. They are handmade in Italy. They have been making umbrellas since 1956.
Again, some of the designs of their handles (such as the ones with human skulls) don’t fit my taste. But they have some leather-handled umbrellas, and even some horse-handled umbrellas, that are more my style.
Again, I recommend checking out Pasotti’s website and reviewing their men’s selection. These are umbrellas that you can use for everyday use or formal occasions. They make a women’s line as well.
Pros:
- High-Quality: Its fabric, shaft, and handle materials are all high quality.
- Many Designs: They make so many different designs that everyone is sure to find one they like.
Cons:
- Price: Quality umbrellas often cost more than lesser-quality ones.
5. Blunt Men’s Metro Travel Umbrella
The Blunt Men’s Metro Travel Umbrella is a high-quality travel umbrella with some cool features. First, its price is the lowest on this list, so if the others seem too pricey, this one might be the ticket.
One feature I like about this umbrella is that it is designed to be modular. It comprises four modular components: the canopy, frame, shaft, and handle. If the canopy fabric tears, for example, you can order just the fabric instead of buying a whole new umbrella. I like that.
A lousy feature, in my opinion, is that in strong winds, the canopy of this umbrella will flip inside out. I prefer the kind that is designed to resist that. However, if this happens, it won’t ruin this umbrella. You pull down on the side of the canopy, and the umbrella will snap back into its standard shape. So that is good.
I would be remiss if I failed to mention Blunt’s signature feature. The corners of the umbrella are blunt, hence the name. The canopy is reinforced, and the frame fits within rounded pockets, so you won’t accidentally poke your companion with the umbrella’s edge.
Pros:
- High-Quality: Its fabric, shaft, and handle materials are all high quality.
- Modular Design: If one module gets damaged, you order that module instead of a new umbrella.
- Blunt Canopy Edges: The corners of the umbrella are blunt, hence the name.
Cons:
- Price: Quality umbrellas often cost more than lesser-quality ones. However, this is the least expensive umbrella on this list.
