Umbrellas: Well Prepared for Bad Weather
Especially in autumn and winter, heavy rain or snowfall occurs at regular intervals. That’s no reason to stay indoors, but a bit of preparation is necessary. Good preparation doesn’t just mean protective clothing.
Equally important is a reliable umbrella that keeps us dry or at least ensures we don’t end up soaked while walking around. In this category, we present various types of umbrellas and help you find the right model. If that sounds good to you, feel free to read on.
The Right Umbrella for Every Customer
Not all umbrellas are the same—there are different types to choose from. These types rarely differ in function, but when it comes to design, handling, and target audience, there are certain distinctions. Since we offer only high-quality umbrellas, you should definitely take a look at our range. Get yourself an umbrella that suits you!
Tip: It’s perfectly normal for heavy rain to come with strong winds, and there’s generally nothing wrong with using an umbrella in such conditions. The important thing is not to open the umbrella against the wind. You should also hold it at an angle to reduce wind pressure and prevent it from flipping inside out.
Stick Umbrellas
Stick umbrellas are the most common type of umbrella worldwide and one of the most frequently used everyday accessories. Their distinctive feature is the long shaft, also referred to as a stick, which provides the necessary stability. Most stick umbrellas are about one and a half meters long, though there are shorter and longer versions as well. There’s certainly no shortage of appealing designs. In addition to numerous single- or multicolored models, there are also stick umbrellas with eye-catching patterns featuring flowers, prints, or animals.
Folding Umbrellas
The main difference between stick and folding umbrellas lies in their compactness. While stick umbrellas can also be closed, unlike folding umbrellas, their frame cannot be collapsed into a compact size. That’s exactly what sets folding umbrellas apart from other types. As the name suggests, they’re compact enough to fit into a bag—at least in theory. How true that is depends on the specific model. One thing’s for sure: storing them is effortless.
Children’s Umbrellas
Children’s umbrellas don’t actually differ much from those designed for adults—they can be either stick or folding umbrellas. The main distinction lies in their child-friendly designs. Many children’s umbrellas feature fun, eye-catching motifs or are much more colorful than most adult models. Of course, this also depends on personal taste. Some adults even enjoy carrying children’s umbrellas. Besides the design, the size may also differ. Although not all, many children’s umbrellas are smaller than those for adults.
Sun Umbrellas as an Alternative to Rain Umbrellas
In Europe, we mainly use umbrellas to protect ourselves from rain. However, there are also umbrellas designed to shield from sunlight. These sun umbrellas may be less common here, but they’re becoming increasingly popular. Especially in summer, when extreme heat can make standing in direct sunlight dangerous, they prove extremely useful.
Long-Lasting Functionality Through Proper Storage
Even high-quality umbrellas require proper care. After each use, you should let the umbrella dry while open. Once it’s completely dry, you can close it and store it in a protected place. Such a location should be free of moisture, as otherwise mold may form. Excessive sunlight can also be problematic, as it may cause deformation over time. If you don’t have a suitable spot, simply use an umbrella hook—you can easily install one anywhere in your home.
Frequently Asked Questions About Umbrellas
What types of umbrellas does bags.co.uk offer?
Not every umbrella is the same or suitable for every situation. For instance, there’s a big difference between buying a rain umbrella or a sun umbrella. While they may look similar in structure and design, the materials used differ. It’s also important to distinguish between stick and folding umbrellas. Stick umbrellas are very sturdy and, when used correctly, last quite a long time. Folding umbrellas, on the other hand, may not be as robust but offer great compactness. In our shop, you’ll find all these types and more. Feel free to browse around.
Which brands does bags.co.uk offer for umbrellas?
As with other products, we offer umbrellas from various manufacturers. The selection is extensive and caters to a wide range of customers. Some well-known brands in our assortment include:
- Doppler
- Ergobag
- Esprit
- Knirps
- Samsonite
You’ve probably heard of Doppler and Knirps. Both brands are among the most renowned producers of rain and sun umbrellas. Their products are sold all over the world and are especially popular across Europe.
What size should an umbrella be?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to the ideal umbrella size. It depends entirely on how you intend to use it. For everyday use and one person, a diameter of around 100 centimeters is more than adequate. For two people, it should be 10 to 20 centimeters larger. Sun umbrellas are a bit different—especially in open areas like beaches, a diameter of at least 150 centimeters is advisable. Around 200 centimeters is even better for optimal protection.
