Is there an umbrella for two?

Some accessory brands make large umbrellas for two people. This is the case with the Manufacture du Parapluie de Cherbourg.

How do you recognize a double umbrella? What is this item used for in a downpour? And what are the best double umbrellas for outdoor recreation? Thanks to our article dedicated to XXL models, you'll learn everything about these comfortable and unique umbrellas.

What is a large umbrella?

A two-person umbrella is characterized by the large span of its canopy. Its canopy has a diameter of at least 100 cm, or one meter wide. Thanks to its generous dimensions, the large umbrella can shelter up to two people from the rain.

Please note: Double umbrellas should not be confused with longer umbrellas. You can find umbrellas with longer-than-average poles in stores. These models are suitable for taller people, but do not necessarily have a very large canopy. Conversely, a large umbrella may have a standard-sized pole.

To be sure you choose a large umbrella for two people, check its technical specifications and observe its width. It should be greater than 100 centimeters.

Also, make sure to choose a large, high-quality umbrella. Since its ribs are longer than average, they must be strong enough to withstand harsh weather conditions (like strong winds). Avoid large, inexpensive umbrellas and opt for handcrafted models made in France.

Why choose an umbrella for two?

The double umbrella is one of the most popular models. Here are the reasons for the success of this type of umbrella.

Comfort that can withstand anything

Always having a large umbrella with you is a guarantee of being protected from the rain while sheltering someone else (for example, a friend).

It's raining, and the person you're traveling with doesn't have an umbrella? No problem: invite them under the canopy of your large umbrella, which comfortably protects two people from the rain. This way, you stay dry and your clothes don't get wet.

Once the downpour or storm is over, quickly dry your double umbrella, then slip it into its carrying bag. When you order your item, le Parapluie de Cherbourg offers you a matching cover for your double umbrella.
