LifeTek Traveler 42 FX1 — Compact Windproof Travel Umbrella
DESCRIPTION
The Traveler 42 FX1 is LifeTek's most compact umbrella, engineered to deliver premium style, durability, and reliability wherever your day takes you. Its patented auto open and close mechanism deploys the canopy with a single press, so you are protected the moment the rain begins to fall.
The 42 inch arc creates a compact, wind resistant design that stands up to the elements during your daily commute, business trip, or long awaited vacation. Inside, a heavy duty tri-fold steel shaft and 9 reinforced ribs hold the canopy steady through gusty conditions that flip ordinary compact umbrellas inside out.
A premium 210T micro weave canopy enhanced with Teflon Fabric Protector sheds water on contact and dries quickly, so you can fold and store your umbrella without worry. With UPF 50+ sun protection on our black, blue, and red canopies, and UPF 45+ on green, the Traveler 42 FX1 keeps you covered rain or shine.

Great umbrella. Purchased for my child to keep in their
backpack. Already been put to good use. Perfect size. Good quality. Not flimsy.
Jennifer C.
Big difference and Premium Quality. We have always purchased the cheap compact umbrellas in the past. They’re ok at best and tear up quickly. Lifetek umbrellas are premium quality and workmanship. You will notice immediately that these are high umbrellas. Purchased one and was so impressed I ordered another one.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)
How big is the LifeTek Traveler 42 FX1 when folded?
The Traveler 42 FX1 measures 11.5 inches closed and weighs 15 ounces, making it our most compact travel umbrella. It is sized to fit effortlessly into your travel bag, briefcase, or backpack. When open, the canopy arc is 42 inches with a coverage diameter of 37 inches.
Is the Traveler 42 FX1 a windproof umbrella?
Yes. The Traveler 42 FX1 is engineered with a 9-rib reinforced wind resistant frame and a heavy duty tri-fold steel shaft, which together hold the canopy steady in gusty conditions where ordinary compact umbrellas invert. For maximum coverage in severe weather or extended outdoor exposure, we recommend our full size LifeTek New Yorker FX1.
How does the auto open and close mechanism work?
The Traveler 42 FX1 features a patented push-button mechanism. One press automatically opens the canopy, and a second press collapses it. To fully close the umbrella, compress the ends together until it locks into the closed position.
Will the Traveler 42 FX1 fit in a carry-on bag?
Yes. At 11.5 inches closed, the Traveler 42 FX1 fits comfortably inside carry-on luggage, backpacks, briefcases, and most travel handbags, making it the ideal travel companion for flights, road trips, and daily commutes.
How does the Teflon treatment on the canopy work?
Our premium 210T micro weave canopy is enhanced with Teflon Fabric Protector, which causes water to bead and roll off rather than soak in. The result is a canopy that sheds rain on contact and dries quickly, so you can fold and store your umbrella with confidence.
Does the Traveler 42 FX1 protect against UV rays?
Yes. Although designed primarily for rain protection, the Traveler 42 FX1 also offers reliable sun protection. The black, blue, and red canopies are rated UPF 50+, blocking 98 percent of UV rays. The green canopy is
rated UPF 45+. This makes the Traveler 42 FX1 a thoughtful choice for both rainy weather and sunny days.
What is the difference between the Traveler 42 FX1 and the LifeTek NewYorker FX1?
The Traveler 42 FX1 is our most compact umbrella, designed for travel and daily commuting, with a 42 inch canopy arc and an 11.5 inch closed length. The New Yorker FX1 is our full size automatic umbrella, designed for golf, sports, and extended outdoor coverage, with a larger canopy arc.
Choose the Traveler if portability is your priority, or the New Yorker if maximum coverage matters more.
How should I care for my Traveler 42 FX1 after use?
To prolong the life of your Traveler 42 FX1, shake off any excess water after use, allow the canopy to dry fully, then wrap the canopy folds together and secure them with the Velcro strap before storing in the
included sleeve. Avoid storing the umbrella while still wet.
What does the Two-Year Peace of Mind Replacement Guarantee cover?
Every LifeTek umbrella is backed by our Two-Year Peace of Mind Replacement Guarantee, which covers any defects in our premium materials or quality craftsmanship. To activate your warranty, register your
umbrella through our online registration page.
