What is a full body umbrella?

A full body umbrella has a clear rain shield that hangs from the canopy edge almost to the ground, so it keeps you dry from head to toe, not just your head. BrollyPod is a full body umbrella made for British weather: sideways rain and puddle splashes land on the shield instead of your clothes.

What size is it?

One size fits all, with a 160 cm shield. BrollyPod comes in one colour, Black.

When will my BrollyPod arrive?

BrollyPod is in stock. Delivery takes 7 to 14 working days and is free to UK addresses. We'll email you a tracking link as soon as your order is on its way.

Can I buy more than one?

Yes. BrollyPod comes in bundles of 1, 2 or 3. A bundle of 2 is 5% off and a bundle of 3 is 10% off, and the saving comes off automatically in your bag. Your bag holds one bundle at a time, so choosing a new bundle replaces the one already there.

How does it cope with wind?

It's made for everyday British rain, breeze included, and the weighted hem helps keep the shield hanging down. Be aware that the shield is a large surface, so a strong gust will push on it more than on a normal umbrella. In very windy weather, hold the handle firmly, angle the canopy into the wind, and close it if the gusts get too strong. Like any umbrella, it isn't made for storms.

How does it fold up?

Gather the clear shield up towards the canopy, then collapse the umbrella the same way you would a normal folding brolly. Slide it into the carry sleeve and you're done. To open it again, press the button and the canopy opens automatically.

Does it really stop sideways rain?

That's the whole idea. The shield surrounds you on every side, so rain blowing in at an angle hits the shield rather than your clothes. A normal umbrella only covers you from above, which is why your trousers usually get the worst of it.

Can I see where I'm going?

Yes. The shield is crystal clear all the way round, so you can see the road, traffic and people around you. Raindrops on the outside will soften the view a little, as they would on a window. Take extra care when crossing roads, on stairs and in the dark, keep the shield clean, and wear something bright or reflective at night so drivers can see you.

Will puddle splashes still get me?

Mostly, no. The shield hangs almost to the ground and the weighted hem keeps it low, so spray from puddles and passing cars lands on the shield. There's a small gap at the bottom so you can walk, which means a big splash right at ground level can still reach your shoes. It still keeps far more of you dry than an ordinary umbrella.

Can I return it?

Yes. Our returns and refunds policy explains how.

How can I pay?

Checkout is secure and encrypted, and we never see or store your full card details. You can pay with the options shown at checkout, which include major debit and credit cards.

How do I clean it?

Wipe the shield with a soft cloth and a little mild soapy water, rinse with clean water and leave it open to air dry. Avoid abrasive pads, bleach and solvents, as they can scratch or cloud the shield. Always let it dry fully before you store it in its sleeve.

Can I use it as a normal umbrella?

Yes. When the rain eases or the pavement gets crowded, gather the shield up towards the canopy edge and carry it like an ordinary brolly. Let the shield down again when the weather turns.
