What is a walking stick umbrella?

Walking stick umbrellas, or umbrella walking sticks, combine the sturdiness and support of a walking stick, with the benefit of an umbrella. They are the perfect 2-in-1 choice.

Why choose a walking stick umbrella?

Walking stick umbrellas are ideal for people who like to have the convenience of an umbrella on hand should it start to rain, but also like to use the shaft as a walking stick for balance & support when walking.

Can I use a normal umbrella as a walking stick?

In short, no. Traditional umbrellas are not designed to be weight-bearing, so they are not recommended for use as a support stick, so the walking stick umbrella provides this support as well as providing a capacious canopy if the heavens should open up when you are out and about!
