Criteria to consider when choosing the right size

Protection against rain and wind

The primary role of an umbrella is to shelter you. The larger its diameter, the greater the protection, especially in heavy rain or gusts of wind. A large umbrella is perfect for protecting not only the user, but also a second person, while reducing the risk of getting splashed.

Ease of transport

Size also impacts bulk. Compact or folding umbrellas fit easily into a bag and are ideal for urban travel. Conversely, a large, long umbrella is often carried by hand or over the shoulder, but offers undeniable elegance and superior protection.

Style and occasion

Some models are better suited to specific occasions: a large, straight umbrella can be a great addition to a chic outfit, while a folding umbrella is better suited for everyday use or travel.
