What distinguishes an umbrella upside down from a traditional model? How to open it and then close it? Is it in automatic, folding model or a female umbrella? We do not offer this type of umbrella on our site. However, being passionate about the universe of the umbrella, we invite you to discover this new fashionable accessory.

What is a reverse umbrella?

The inverted umbrellas resemble ordinary umbrellas, several details:

  • A double canvas,
  • invisible whales,
  • a handle often in the shape of a C,
  • A perfectly vertical position in a closed position,
  • reverse opening and closing technology.

The main interest of this accessory is that it avoids, after a downpour, to spread water on the ground. The rain drops fall on the waterproof canvas, facing the mast when the inverted umbrella is folded. After a thunderstorm or violent rains, it can be returned inside (in a closed position) without doing damage.

Is an inverted umbrella as solid as a normal umbrella?

Yes, these models are as solid as those with a conventional opening device.

Like all umbrellas, the umbrellas upside down are provided with a mast surmounted by whales. If you buy a good quality umbrella, it will be made with robust materials and will resist the gusts.

Find out how to make sure that an umbrella is wind resistant?

Some of these models are even more resistant than traditional models. This is explained by the fact that the reverse umbrella has a double canvas, enclosing the whales on each side. The reinforcement is therefore perfectly maintained. The reverse umbrella is unlikely to turn around, during a storm or a thunderstorm.

Finally, the whales of the inverted umbrella are less exposed to humidity than those of a traditional umbrella (whose whales are apparent). They are less likely to damage use.

How to use a reverse umbrella?

Even if you have never used an upside down, let yourself be surprised by its ease of use.

When it rains, unfold your umbrella from its handle, like an ordinary model. If your umbrella is automatic, press the opening button while holding the mast vertically.

Is your umbrella has a manual inverted opening? Slide the whales from the umbrella along the mast, from bottom to top. The outer canvas is placed by itself inside the canvas, while the inner part is unfolding on top.

When you go home (or in your car), close your umbrella by bringing the whales back to the handle.

If it remains water inside your umbrella, tilt it down before storing it. The water having largely drained, you are less likely to wet the inside of your vehicle or your interior.
