Large Umbrellas

Why choose a large umbrella?

Large umbrellas offer maximum comfort and functionality in poor weather. Our range includes umbrellas with an extra-large canopy whose diameter exceeds standard dimensions, making them an ideal choice for individuals and couples alike – you will often see them referred to as a couple's umbrella. We include here both large folding umbrellas, which you can easily tuck into a bag, and elegant, robust stick umbrellas. All these models have one thing in common: the aim to provide the largest possible surface to shield you from the rain.

How to choose the right large umbrella

When choosing the ideal large umbrella, it is important to weigh up several key factors that affect its functionality and your comfort. At Bagalio, we offer a wide range of high-quality models that differ in type, mechanism, construction material and design.

Umbrella type and mechanism

Folding vs. stick:

• Folding umbrellas are popular for their compactness. Folded up, they fit into a backpack, though they can be a little more vulnerable to strong wind than stick umbrellas.
• Stick umbrellas offer the largest canopy (often in XXL size) and the greatest durability. Thanks to their rigid shaft, they make an elegant accessory, but they cannot be folded down and put into a bag.

Opening mechanism:

• Auto-open: Opening at the press of a button, which is highly practical when your hands are full or you need to react quickly to the rain.
• Fully automatic: Opening and closing at the press of a button (usually on folding types). Comfortable to use.
• Manual: Classic, simple manual opening.

Materials and durability

The quality of an umbrella is directly proportional to the quality of the materials used, particularly for the construction. This is key to its wind resistance.

• Steel: A traditional, highly strong and robust material that gives umbrellas excellent stability and protection even in strong wind. Its drawback is the greater weight.
• Aluminium: Lightweight and corrosion-resistant. An aluminium frame is ideal for folding umbrellas, where low weight and easy carrying matter. Aluminium on its own is less resistant to bending than steel, but combined with other materials it forms a high-quality base.
• Fibreglass: Lightweight, flexible and extremely resistant to breaking. Ribs made of this material bend in a strong gust of wind without snapping and return to their original shape.
• Carbon steel: A high-quality, robust material often used for the rigid shafts of premium stick umbrellas, ensuring high strength and durability.
• Combination of different materials: The most common and often the best solution. An umbrella frame can combine a rigid steel shaft with flexible fibreglass ribs. This construction ensures an optimal balance between strength and flexibility, making the large umbrella lightweight while reliably protecting you against gusts of wind.

Some models also feature wooden handles, which lend the umbrella a touch of classic elegance. When choosing the canopy fabric, it is also worth thinking about sun protection, where umbrellas with UV protection come in handy.

Tip: At Bagalio, we have modern, high-quality solutions for everyone! Whether you need an elegant women's umbrella, a black men's umbrella or a cheerful children's umbrella that will reliably protect your little ones, you will find it with us.
