Big umbrellas

For rainy and slushy weather, a large umbrella is ideal. A high-quality model should combine functionality, practicality and a certain style. You need to be very serious about the selection of such a thing, as it will not only protect you from rain and dampness, but also complement the image as a whole.

The first such products appeared a very long time ago. The birthplace of such a functional accessory is considered to be Ancient China. In those days, the umbrella not only played the role of decoration, but also emphasized the status of its owner, because only representatives of the nobility could allow such a thing.

More modern designs, reminiscent of those that are currently available, were released in the 19th century. They had an insanely fashionable cane shape. Umbrella - automatic was developed only in the XX century.

The diameter of the upper part in large products is from 1.1 m and above. Products are folded automatically, and fixed mechanically. Such characteristics are the main features of large umbrellas.

Large umbrellas have the following positive characteristics:

• Under such an object, two people may well hide at once;
• Products with a deep dome will perfectly protect clothes from raindrops, even if a strong wind blows on the street;
• Able to protect hair and clothing from even the most severe showers;
• Perfectly complement many stylish looks;
• They are distinguished by their lightness and mobility (especially when folded).

Currently, several varieties of large models are available. Each of them is distinguished by its design and device. Let us analyze in more detail: what are large umbrellas made of?

There are two main types of umbrellas: a cane and folding. The most popular model is the cane.The frame in such instances is the main part and consists of spokes and a solid base (core). This design sets the quality, reliability and durability of the accessory.

• Frames are made of steel, durable carbon fiber, aluminum or fiberglass.
• The most durable and reliable are steel knitting needles.
• They are difficult to break or deform, therefore, sharp gusts of wind are not afraid of them.
• But it is worth noting that steel products are far from the easiest.
• Carrying such a thing in the open state will be difficult.

Aluminum structures are considered the most lightweight. But umbrellas with such details are easily deformed and broken. They will often have to be repaired.

Frames from this modern material are also called "anti-wind." They are distinguished by their lightness and durability. If you bend such an umbrella, it will quickly take its original shape, which is very important in windy weather.

In any design there are several spokes. As a rule, their number does not exceed 32 pieces. It is recommended to choose products in which there are many of these parts. If they are rare, then the fabric will sag between them, and this will contribute to breakdowns. The optimum is the presence of 16 to 20 spokes.

Such a detail as a dome plays a very important role. It represents the very top of the accessory that will protect you from bad weather. Try to choose not only beautiful and colorful models, but also those made of quality materials.

The dome may have a different structure. It all depends on its bulge. Umbrellas with a deeper top are considered the most practical. They protect perfectly during rainy weather.

The upper part of a useful accessory is made of various types of fabrics. Consider the most popular.

Nylon material is notable for its hardness. It is considered one of the easiest and most affordable. But it is worth remembering that nylon domes cannot boast of durability. They quickly fade and lose their attractive appearance.

This fabric dries easily and does not deform when dried. Umbrellas with such a top are excellent protectors from water. But these things are easy to damage. This is especially true for areas in which the spokes are connected.

Satin specimens are of high cost. They are one of the most durable and reliable. Domes of such products remarkably repel moisture and dry very quickly.

Pongee is a mixture of cotton and polyester. Such material is distinguished by its strength. It is used to create expensive brand models of high quality.

• The handle of a practical thing can be made of wood, metal or rubber.
• The most original and beautiful are wooden handles of different colors.
• Rubber handles are the most weightless.

The shape of the handle can be absolutely straight or curved. The second option is the most common and convenient. An umbrella with such a detail will be much more convenient to carry and hold in your hand.

At the moment, there are mechanical, automatic, semi-automatic umbrellas and comfortable models with a double automatic design.

Large umbrellas that fold mechanically are rightfully recognized as the most reliable and durable. They are hard to break. To open or close a similar model can only be done manually. It is worth noting that such products may be less convenient in those moments when it is necessary to quickly and sharply open the umbrella.

Products with a semi-automatic mechanism are triggered by pressing a special button in the area of ​​the handle. In such instances, the rod itself automatically extends, but you will have to dissolve the dome yourself. Such models are distinguished by their affordable cost and reliability.

Umbrellas - automatic machines are also equipped with a button that not only extends the shaft, but also opens the upper part. These models are formed exclusively by hand. Auto accessories are the most popular today. They are in demand not only among fashionable ladies, but also among men.

Such products open and close at the touch of a button. They are more expensive than all other models. If you purchase low-quality goods, then it will serve you for a very short time and will easily break. It is worth choosing copies with a double automatic machine, which are produced by well-known companies.

As a rule, men prefer umbrellas of neutral colors. The most popular are accessories in beige, gray and navy blue. A classic black umbrella with a contrasting wooden handle will perfectly fit into a strict business style.

Young people love vibrant colors and colorful prints. Umbrellas with a variety of patterns, ornaments and emblems in rich shades are ideal for a youth image. Women can choose romantic accessories with light patterns and prints.
