Large umbrellas

For rainy and slushy weather a large umbrella is ideal. A 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 damp, but also complement the image as a whole.

The first such products appeared a long time ago. Ancient China is considered to be the birthplace of such a functional accessory. 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, saw the light in the XIX century. They had an incredibly fashionable form of a cane. The umbrella machine was developed only in the XX century.

The diameter of the upper part in large products ranges from 1.1 m and above. Products develop in the automatic way, and are fixed mechanically. Such characteristics are the main features of large umbrellas.

Large umbrellas have the following positive characteristics:

• Under such a subject may well hide two people at once;
• Products with a deep dome perfectly protect clothes from raindrops even if there is a strong wind outside;
• Can protect hair and clothes from even the strongest showers;
• Perfectly complement many stylish images;
• They are distinguished by their ease and mobility (especially when folded).

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

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

• Frameworks are made of steel, durable carbon, aluminum or fiberglass.
• The most durable and reliable steel spokes.
• They are difficult to break or deform, so they are not afraid of sudden gusts of wind.
• But It is worth noting that steel products are far from being the easiest.
• Carrying such a thing in the open state will be hard.

The most lightweight is considered to be the design of aluminum. But umbrellas with such details are easily deformed and broken. They will have to be repaired often.

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 on its original shape, which is very important in windy weather.

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

A very important role is played by such a detail as the dome. It represents the very upper part of the accessory that will protect you from bad weather. Try to choose not only beautiful and colorful models, but also those that are made of high-quality materials.

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

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

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

This fabric dries easily and is not deformed when dried. Umbrellas with such a top are excellent protectors against the ingress of water. But such things are easy to damage. This is especially true of areas in which the spokes are connected.

Sateen copies differ in high cost. They are among the most durable and reliable. The domes of such products remarkably repel moisture and dry very quickly.

Ponge is a blend of cotton and polyester. Such material is distinguished by its strength. It is used in the creation of expensive high-quality branded models.

• The handle of a practical thing can be made of wood, metal or rubber.
• The most original and beautiful wooden handles are 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 a similar detail will be much easier 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 rightly recognized as the most reliable and durable. They are hard to break. Open or close a similar model can only be manually. It should be noted that such products may be less convenient in those moments when you need to quickly and sharply open the umbrella.

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

Automat umbrellas are also equipped with a button that not only pushes the rod, but also opens the upper part. These models are made entirely by hand. Automatic 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 a low-quality product, it will serve you very briefly and easily break. It is worth choosing copies with a double automatic machine, which are produced by well-known companies.

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

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