How to choose the right umbrella?

When choosing, consider several key factors:

1. Purpose of use: Are you looking for a folding umbrella for everyday 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 at the push 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: Affects the weight, strength, and resistance of the umbrella 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. May be less durable in very strong winds.
   • Fiberglass: Very flexible, lightweight, rust-proof, and highly wind-resistant. Often used in quality and sports umbrellas.
   • Carbon steel: Extremely strong, lightweight, and durable. Used in luxury 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 quality canopy is crucial for waterproofing, drying speed, and the overall lifespan of the umbrella.
   • Polyester: Most common, affordable, with good resistance to water and UV radiation.
   • Pongee: A 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 appearance with woven patterns, high quality, and aesthetic value.
6. Number of ribs (spokes): A higher 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 canopy construction that better withstands wind gusts and is less prone to deformation.
7. Wind resistance: In addition to the construction material and number of ribs, look for umbrellas with a wind-resistant construction (e.g., double canopy, flexible fiberglass components, tested in a wind tunnel).
8. Design and color: From classic black umbrellas for men to colorful and patterned models.
9. Handle: It should be ergonomic and comfortable to hold. 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 perfect companion for any 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: They represent classic elegance and robustness. A stick umbrella is characterized by its sturdy construction, often made of steel and fiberglass, and a higher number of ribs. It's an excellent choice for those who prefer traditional design. A men's stick umbrella is often seen as a symbol of elegance.
• Women's Umbrellas: A women's folding umbrella has become an almost essential accessory for every handbag. Canopies for women's umbrellas feature a wider palette of colors, patterns, and are often made from luxurious materials like pongee or jacquard fabrics.
• Men's Umbrellas: A category focused on men's needs. Men's umbrellas typically feature a more subdued design, often in black or with discreet 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 burst with colors and cheerful motifs.
• Mini Umbrellas: Extremely compact and lightweight umbrellas. Quality mini umbrellas made from premium materials (e.g., carbon steel) can provide reliable protection from rain despite their small size and fewer ribs.
• Large Umbrellas: This category includes umbrellas with an exceptionally large canopy diameter, such as golf umbrellas. They are ideal for maximum rain protection, romantic walks in nature, or festivals.

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