How to choose the right umbrella?

When choosing, consider several key factors:

1. Purpose of use: Are you looking for a folding umbrella for daily carrying in a bag, or an elegant black umbrella for a suit? Do you need a large umbrella for two people, or a lightweight mini umbrella for travel?
2. Construction type: Folding umbrellas are compact and fit into a backpack, while stick umbrellas tend to be more robust.
3. Opening system
   • Manual: Classic opening and closing by hand, often found in umbrellas with extra low weight or basic models.
   • Automatic opening: The umbrella opens with the press of a button. Closing is manual.
   • Fully automatic: Opening and closing the umbrella with a single button for maximum comfort, typical for modern folding umbrellas.
4. Construction material: Influences weight, strength, and the umbrella's resistance to corrosion and wind.
   • Steel: Strong, but can be heavier and more prone to corrosion if not treated.
   • Aluminum: Lightweight, ideal for folding umbrellas where low weight is important. It may be less resistant in very strong winds.
   • Fiberglass: Very flexible, lightweight, rust-proof, and highly resistant to wind. Often used in high-quality and sports umbrellas.
   • Carbon steel: Extremely strong, lightweight, and durable. Used in luxurious and highly durable umbrellas.
   • Material mixes: A common combination is, for example, an aluminum shaft and fiberglass ribs to achieve an optimal balance between weight and durability.
5. Canopy material: A high-quality canopy is key for water resistance, drying speed, and the overall lifespan of the umbrella.
   • Polyester: Most common, affordable, with good resistance to water and UV radiation.
   • Pongee: Densely woven fabric, softer to the touch, dries faster, repels water better, and is more wrinkle-resistant than standard polyester. Often found in higher-quality umbrellas.
   • Jacquard fabrics: More luxurious look with woven patterns, high quality, and aesthetic value.
6. Number of ribs (arms): A larger number of ribs (usually 6-8 for folding umbrellas, 8-10 for stick umbrellas, and even more for golf umbrellas, e.g., 16) means a more stable and durable umbrella canopy construction that better resists gusts of wind and deforms less.
7. Wind resistance: In addition to the construction material and number of ribs, look for umbrellas with a windproof construction (e.g., double canopy, flexible components made of fiberglass, tested in a wind tunnel).
8. Design and color: From a classic black umbrella for men to colorful and patterned models.
9. Handle: It should be ergonomic and comfortable in the hand. There are various shapes (straight, curved) and handle materials (plastic, wood, EVA foam).

Find the right umbrella for you

Our wide range of umbrellas is divided into several subcategories for better clarity, making it easier for you to choose the right companion for bad weather. Each category targets specific needs and preferences.

• Folding umbrellas: A folding umbrella is ideal for those who want to have an umbrella always at hand. They often use lightweight construction materials like aluminum or fiberglass and fully automatic opening systems for maximum comfort.
• Stick umbrellas: Represent classic elegance and robustness. A stick umbrella is typical for its sturdy construction, often made of steel and fiberglass, and a larger number of ribs. It is a great choice for those who prefer traditional design. A men's stick umbrella is often perceived as a symbol of elegance.
• Women's umbrellas: A women's folding umbrella has become almost mandatory equipment for every handbag. Covers for women's umbrellas are characterized by a wider palette of colors, patterns, and are often made of luxurious materials like pongee or jacquard fabrics.
• Men's umbrellas: A category focused on the needs of men. Men's umbrellas are usually characterized by a more understated design, often in black or with subtle patterns, and a robust construction with an emphasis on durable materials.
• Children's umbrellas: Umbrellas for the little ones must primarily be safe, lightweight (often with an aluminum construction), and easy to operate (usually a manual system). Children's umbrellas are full of colors and cheerful motifs.
• Mini umbrellas: Extremely compact and lightweight umbrellas. High-quality mini umbrellas made of premium materials (e.g., carbon steel) can provide reliable protection against rain despite their small dimensions and smaller number of ribs.
• Large umbrellas: This category includes umbrellas with an above-standard large canopy diameter, such as golf umbrellas. They are ideal for maximum protection against rain, romantic walks in nature, or festivals.

Tip: Let your complexion shine under a light-colored umbrella or under a modern transparent umbrella, which will also provide you with an unobstructed view and allow you to watch the raindrops.

Frequently asked questions when choosing an umbrella

How to properly care for an umbrella so it lasts as long as possible?

To extend the life of your umbrella, it is important to always let it dry properly in an open state after use. Never store the umbrella wet, as this can cause mold and damage the fabric. Regularly check the construction and repair any loose parts in time.

Do umbrellas provide sufficient protection against UV radiation?

Some umbrellas are specially designed with UV protection that blocks up to 99% of harmful sun rays. These umbrellas usually have a special surface treatment or are made of materials that provide UV protection.

How to choose the right women's umbrella?

When choosing a women's umbrella, consider several factors. If you need an umbrella for regular carrying, a folding model is more practical.
