What are the 3 points men should pay attention to when choosing an umbrella?
How to choose an umbrella for men (1) “Check the “size” first, which is directly related to practicality!
You carry an umbrella that looks classy, but your shoulders are soaking wet… It is important to choose an umbrella that is large enough to keep you dry, so that you don’t look like you are carrying a classy looking umbrella and getting your shoulders soaked. Generally speaking, a man of 175 cm in height can hold an umbrella of 108 cm to 113 cm in diameter. Smaller people or those who often walk in crowds should choose an umbrella with a diameter of around 100 cm, while larger people should choose an umbrella with a diameter of around 120 cm.
How to choose a men’s umbrella (2) “Pay attention to the bone material! We recommend highly durable and lightweight models.”
In general, umbrellas have eight bones, but if you want a durable and long-lasting one, it is recommended to choose 16 to 24 bones. It is less likely to break even if strong winds blow, and it is less likely to become a trumpet umbrella. Also, as the number of bones increases, so does the weight, so it is important to pay attention to the material of the bones. For example, we recommend umbrellas with lightweight and strong bones made of fiberglass or carbon.

How to choose a men’s umbrella (3) “Choose one with extra features!
If practicality is more important to you, choose an umbrella with an extra function. For example, a model with a super water-repellent finish that can remove most water droplets with a single swing, or a model with a UV-cut function that protects against the sun’s rays. There are also umbrellas with LED lights attached to the handle for outdoor use, so be sure to check them out.
