Umbrellas are different: what to choose
Discussion about which one is better - automatic, mechanical, ordinary, folding or a cane, renews every spring with interseasonal rains. Experts of an “umbellate” affair didn’t manage to find the answer to this question. But all of them agree that there is nothing worse than low-quality goods.
The simplest way to check an umbrella is to open it and slightly shake. If the frame jingles and trembles, and the fabric is badly tensed – it means, such umbrella won’t last long.
Reliability of an umbrella also depends on the amount of folding. The less - the better. The most reliable - is cane-umbrella. But this “shaft” will not get even in a suitcase, and one should be able to carry it elegantly.
A folding umbrella is certainly easier for the owner. It is placed without an effort in a ladies’ handbag. And small one even in theatrical handbag. Designers have taken care of those who go without a bag at all and created a model which when folded becomes flat. Such umbrella can be carried, for example, in a pocket, or may be attached to a belt, as mobile phone.
The durability of an umbrella depends not only on its quality, but also on the temper of the owner. The most simple, mechanical umbrella, demands patience and accuracy. It is cheaper than the others, but at the careful treatment will serve long. An impulsive person will better purchase the “full automatic” device (or as it is named, “superautomatic device”). It, certainly, will cost more, but there is any trouble neither with opening, nor with folding.
