Umbrellas come in various types, including compact, golf, and automatic. Compact umbrellas are portable and fit in bags easily. Golf umbrellas are larger for better coverage. Automatic umbrellas open with a button press for convenience. Consider your lifestyle to choose the right type.
Umbrellas vary in size from small to large. A small umbrella is ideal for one person and portability, while a large one offers more coverage for two people or adverse weather. Measure your needs and typical weather conditions to decide on the appropriate size.
Umbrellas are made from materials like polyester, nylon, and pongee for canopies, and aluminum or fiberglass for frames. Polyester is durable and water-resistant; nylon is lightweight; pongee has a silk-like feel. Aluminum frames are light; fiberglass is strong and flexible.
Umbrellas require proper care to last longer. Always dry an umbrella fully open after use to prevent rusting or mold. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its color and fabric integrity.
Umbrellas should have features like wind resistance, UV protection, and ergonomic handles. Wind-resistant ones withstand strong gusts without flipping inside out. UV protection shields you from harmful rays. Ergonomic handles provide comfort during use.
