"This will keep my hair dry, at least."

The Umbrella is a Survival item that negates Sanity loss caused by the Rain while equipped. If playing as WX-78, the Umbrella will prevent damage caused by rain.

It requires 6 Twigs, 1 Pig Skin, and 2 Silk to craft and a Science Machine to prototype. The Umbrella can also be used as a melee weapon, but this is not recommended as it deals little damage and breaks after 20 uses. Otherwise, the Umbrella will never break no matter how often the player uses it.

In the Reign of Giants  DLC, the Umbrella slows the rate at which the player gains Wetness and Overheating. It now also loses durability while passively held, like other clothing objects. It can also now be repaired using a Sewing Kit by 83 %.

Trivia

 * This was added during the A Little Rain Must Fall update of  Don't Starve' s beta testing period.
 * Using Pig Skin to make an Umbrella may be a reference to Robinson Crusoe's umbrella.
