Looking for an umbrella that lasts a long time and can go everywhere you go? Take the time to compare the features of the umbrellas available for sale. Here are some of the main types of umbrellas: windproof umbrellas, umbrellas for two, UV-protective umbrellas, and inverted umbrellas. It's up to you to choose the perfect model to protect you from the rain, according to your needs!
Durability is the primary criterion when buying an umbrella. Your umbrella shouldn't just protect its owner from the rain; it should also withstand gusts of wind and the unpredictable weather of different regions. Choosing a wind-resistant umbrellaguarantees that the item is reliable and long-lasting. Its durability depends on the quality of the materials used in its construction.
Le Parapluie de Cherbourg is famous for its weather-resistant umbrellas. Its most windproof umbrella, theAntibourrasque , is tested at 155 km/h during durability trials. The Sport withstands winds of 140 km/h, while le Palace , Pébroque resist , and Golf models gusts of up to 138 km/h. All of the brand's umbrellas undergo wind tunnel testing.
Two's company! For shelter from the rain as a couple or family, a two-person umbrella is ideal. It's easily recognizable by its canopy diameter, which exceeds 100 centimeters. This type of umbrella provides great comfort in case of a downpour or thunderstorm. It saves each person from having to carry their own umbrella during a stroll in town, a hike, or a day on the golf course.
At the Cherbourg Umbrella Shop, you'll find large umbrellas with sturdy frames and elegant designs. For example, the Pébroque and the Palacemodels measure 115 cm and 127 cm in diameter, respectively. The canopy of these umbrellas easily shelters two people. For a more sporty feel, the Sport and Golf models also have a canopy diameter of over 1 meter.
UV radiation is harmful to health and skin. It is present outdoors, even when it's raining. This is especially true in summer, when the sun shines and the days are long. A UV-protective umbrella protects the skin from sunburn and the dangers associated with prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays.
To find out if an umbrella has a UV-resistant coating, consult its technical data sheet. There you will find all the information regarding its fabric and its guarantees. When an umbrella is effective against ultraviolet rays, its manufacturer will indicate its sun protection factor (or SPF). The higher this number, the stronger the UV protection.
The inverted umbrella appeared on the market a few years ago. Its distinguishing feature? An opening and closing mechanism that is reversed compared to traditional umbrellas. When the umbrella is closed, its wet side faces the shaft, inside the umbrella. Consequently, after a downpour, the wet umbrella doesn't soak the floor of the house.
There are a wide variety of inverted umbrellas. There are many styles, ranging from the most understated to the most whimsical. Regardless of the model, this type of umbrella always has a unique design when closed, with its handle facing upwards. There are transparent, colored, two-tone, or patterned models.
