Teens & Older Kids

Teenagers are notoriously hard to shop for, an umbrella is one of those rare exceptions where keeping it simple, or just letting them pick, tends to work out best. Too young looking and it won't leave the house, too plain and boring and it'll be forgotten at school within a week. Our teen and older kids range sits right in that gap, a bit more grown up than a kids umbrella, still small enough and fun enough that it actually gets used, a genuine cool umbrella.

Clear Umbrellas for Teens

Clear umbrellas are one of the safest bets for this age group, colourful without being childish, and genuinely cool rather than just trying too hard to be. Ours are compact enough to throw straight into a backpack without a second thought, which matters far more to a teenager than any of us would like to admit.

Finding the Right Balance

It's worth spending slightly more on a teen umbrella than you would on a cheap everyday one, teenagers have an uncanny ability to break a flimsy umbrella in the first proper storm, but you also don't want to overspend on something that might end up left on a bus within a month. If you know your teen is genuinely responsible with their things, our Blunt Metro is worth the investment, it's built to last for years rather than one term, and it's a genuinely sustainable choice too since Blunt's whole ethos is repair not replace rather than throwaway.
