Mankind has long learned to protect itself from annoying factors, for this it has come up with a lot of useful mechanisms. One of the most relevant inventions of mankind, designed to protect us from the vagaries of the weather, is an umbrella. It appeared many hundreds of years ago, and at first it was designed only to protect against scorching sunlight. Modern umbrellas are products from the sun, as well as from rain and snow.
Before you buy an umbrella, you first need to decide on the design that is more suitable for you. You need to choose an umbrella not only according to your preferences, but also according to your habits and lifestyle. Umbrellas come in two forms: folding and in the form of a cane. Which design is better for whom?
Folding umbrellas: types and features
If you are a mobile person, mobile, but forced to move around the city by public transport, you should not buy an umbrella in the form of a cane. As experience shows, this design is extremely inconvenient, especially if you have to travel at rush hour. In your case, the best option is to buy a folding umbrella.
Folding umbrellas, in turn, are divided into manual, automatic, semi-automatic and dual automatic. What does this mean? Hand umbrellas are folded and laid out by your own efforts. In semi-automatic umbrellas, only the canopy of the umbrella opens with the push of a button, and the handle is extended by mechanical force. If the umbrella completely unfolds itself, then it is automatic. A double automatic machine is when, with the simple click of a button, the umbrella unfolds and folds back.
The main advantage of the folding design is compactness. Before entering the transport, you folded it, hid it in a case and threw it in a bag. With a cane, such a number will not work, it must be carried in hands.
Umbrella cane
There is one more category of people to whom umbrella canes are contraindicated: these are scattered people. Usually, if you manage to get in the vehicle, you don’t want to hold the cane in your hands, it does not fit in the bag, then we look for where to attach it. Usually we hang the cane from the handrail, and then leave, leaving it in the subway or bus.
An umbrella in the form of a cane is suitable for people who drive their own car and can throw an uncomfortable product into the cabin or trunk. Also, a cane is often purchased as a gift. The fact is that with this type of umbrella, if it is an expensive brand, the handle is often made of some expensive wood species, which makes the thing solid and status. Umbrella canes are more durable because their knitting needles, which are not designed to be folded, represent an integral structure.
