For different weather conditions
Folding automatic umbrellas are very compact. They can be carried with you when leaving home in bad weather. The assembled mini umbrella will fit perfectly in a bag or briefcase. This accessory is able not only to hide its owner from rain and sleet. It will also provide good protection from direct sunlight and especially strong gusts of wind.
Experts recommend, when choosing an umbrella that will be used in adverse weather conditions, to pay attention to the models with a large dome... It will cover not only the hair, but also the clothes. Most often, such products have the most durable fabric, as well as waterproof impregnation.
For sun protection it is customary to use larger models. They are not carried in the hands, but placed mainly in the open air, for example, on the beach or in the yard. The material allows you to protect people under the umbrella from ultraviolet radiation, organizing a small shadow around.
There are also quite interesting models called antiwind. They have an unusual shape, with a longer and wider surface at the back. Such a product is quite powerful to protect its owner not only from rain, but also from strong winds. In addition to ordinary situations, it can be successfully used on a hike or at a picnic.
For convenience
If the representatives of the stronger sex choose an umbrella for the sake of convenience, it is advisable to think about the diameter of the dome. It should be as large and deep as possible to provide the most complete protection for those underneath. Increasingly popular dual models, which are considered family and will be able to close two people at once. This is very convenient for both married couples and business partners who are used to discussing business issues while walking.
Another factor responsible for convenience is the shape of the handle. It can be varied. It is recommended to choose models that will not be slippery even in a humid environment, and will also fit comfortably in the palm of your hand.
As an accessory
Among modern models of men's umbrellas, uniformity has long been disliked. Today, a wide variety of products in various shapes are presented on store shelves. Famous trade brands offer their new products for each season. This is especially true for the stronger sex who care about adding showiness to their image.
Manufacturing material
When choosing a men's automatic umbrella, it is very important to pay attention to the materials from which the canopy is made. It's no secret that with regard to colors, preference is given to restrained and predominantly dark shades... However, the presence of an unobtrusive print is not prohibited. The material must be waterproof, as the main function of any umbrella is to keep rain out. Most often in production, manufacturers make a choice in favor of polyester, nylon, blended fabric, satin or satin, which has a special impregnation.
The most budget models are most often made from nylon and polyester. However, a number of disadvantages can be noted, including insufficient strength, instability to ultraviolet radiation, and the ability to pass water.
You can avoid buying mistakes by opening your umbrella and looking at the light through it. Poor quality fabric will show through strongly.
The most successful fabrics for making this accessory are blended fabrics with cotton and special satin. They have positive characteristics. Currently, designers have presented models with a dome made of genuine leather. However, users do not consider them to be particularly successful due to their high cost, as well as their heavy weight.
How to choose?
The question of which umbrella is better to choose is of concern not only for men, but also for the fair sex, who want to give them a nice gift. Experts advise paying special attention to the needs of the future owner, because some rely on convenience, while others - on elegance and originality. Foldable automatic umbrellas will look great with any outfit, blazer or formal coat.
The most successful are gray and black colors, which will look good with things of different colors.
An important role is played by the material for making the dome. A low-quality one will quickly fall into disrepair, and it may not cope with its functions.
You should also pay attention to weight. Heavy steel structures are now difficult to find. The most compact models weigh no more than 250 grams. For their manufacture, aluminum and fiberglass are used. You can extend the life of the product by opting for a model with a double dome. It is also very convenient, as it will protect the umbrella from everting out, even in strong wind conditions.
