☂️ BLUNT · Neo · Most Compact · UPF 50+
Small in size. Big on strength.
BLUNT's most compact umbrella — over 30% smaller than the Metro when collapsed, yet the same high-tensioned canopy, wind-tested construction and patented engineering. Light enough to live in your bag. Strong enough for whatever comes your way.
The BLUNT Neo is the newest addition to the BLUNT family — and the most compact umbrella BLUNT has ever made. At just 26cm closed and 305g, it fits comfortably in most handbags, backpacks and commuter bags without taking up space or adding weight. When open, it delivers a full 98cm diameter — sized perfectly for one person — with BLUNT's signature high-tensioned canopy that handles whatever the New Zealand weather throws at it.
Designed for modern life, the Neo uses recycled rPET fabric with UPF 50+ protection — the first in BLUNT's core range to do so — making it equally useful on a rainy Wellington morning and a bright Auckland afternoon. A manual open mechanism, modular construction for easy repair, and a matching sleeve complete the package. Every Neo ships with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty.

How small is the BLUNT Neo when closed?
The BLUNT Neo closes to just 26cm — over 30% smaller than the BLUNT Metro when collapsed. It fits comfortably in most handbags, backpacks and everyday bags.
Does the BLUNT Neo have UPF sun protection?
Yes. The BLUNT Neo is the first in BLUNT's core range to feature UPF 50+ rated fabric — made from recycled rPET — so it protects you in both rain and sunshine.
Is the BLUNT Neo windproof?
The BLUNT Neo uses BLUNT's patented radial tensioning system — the same wind-tested engineering across the BLUNT range. The high-tensioned aerodynamic canopy is designed to withstand strong winds rather than invert.
What is the difference between the BLUNT Neo and BLUNT Metro?
The Neo is BLUNT's most compact model — 26cm closed and 305g, with a manual open and UPF 50+ fabric at $89. The Metro is 37.5cm closed and 385g, with an automatic open, but without UPF 50+ fabric, at $129. Both use BLUNT's patented radial tensioning engineering.
What warranty does the BLUNT Neo come with?
The BLUNT Neo comes with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty. Register via BLUNT's B Hub to extend this to 4 years and gain access to live repair tracking and exclusive member offers.
Is the BLUNT Neo modular and repairable?
Yes. The BLUNT Neo is built from four modular components — canopy, frame, shaft and handle — each designed for repair or replacement rather than disposal. This significantly extends the life of the umbrella.
What colours does the BLUNT Neo come in?
The BLUNT Neo is available in Midnight Navy, Ink Black, Forest Green, Sage Green and Citrus Yellow.
