Varieties
In the era of innovative technologies, umbrellas in the skillful hands of a designer often turn into works of art. Today the umbrella is recognized as a multifunctional product.

Folding automatic designs fall into two categories: semi-automatic and automatic.
Semi-automatic mechanisms have an automatically opening dome. The advantage of such a device over mechanical models is the accelerated opening of the dome. It opens by pressing a button. Such an umbrella is closed manually.
These products are convenient and have a slight advantage over their automatic counterparts. Such an umbrella, being in a bag, will not be able to spontaneously open when accidentally pressed. In terms of weight, they are somewhat inferior to automatic umbrellas.
Automatic products are the most advanced. The dome opens and closes automatically by pressing the button located on the umbrella handle. In this case, the rod is quickly extended to the stop.
Previously, such models were considered more susceptible to breakage. Today, their frame is made from more durable materials. At the same time, the system of each product is equipped with a special breakdown safety device, which ensures reliable protection of the structure in case of strong gusts of wind.
Folding automatic umbrella models differ in the number of knees. There can be from two to five of them. It is generally accepted that the more folds, the more often umbrellas break. Today, in stores, products in 4 - 5 additions are more common. They are more compact and take up a minimum of space in your purse.
The automatic umbrella lock system prevents sudden openings.
The automatic cane umbrella is rightfully recognized as the most stylish model that demonstrates the special status of the owner. It is bought to emphasize style, often becoming its accent. This model is most in demand among men.
Women prefer more elegant options. Compared to other designs, these umbrellas have a larger canopy, so they provide better shelter from the rain. Their anti-wind frame is considered the most reliable.
Materials (edit)
Today, synthetic waterproof materials are used in the development of umbrellas. The most popular in production are nylon, pongee and polyamide. Sometimes the composition of the material may contain the addition of cotton. Each textile has its own pros and cons to consider when buying.
- Polyester is resistant to moisture and retains its original color for a long time without fading in the sun.
- Pongee is a silk or cotton textile that does not transmit or absorb moisture.
- Nylon is cheaper and stronger than polyester. At first, it is pleasant to look at, but very quickly it loses its attractiveness, becoming dull and ugly.
- Teflon is an expensive material. These textiles are lighter than pongee. It will last for many years, while the color will remain bright and saturated.
Umbrella frames are made of fiberglass, steel, plastic and aluminum. The lightest structural supports are plastic and aluminum frames, but they are inferior in reliability to steel models and fiberglass options. These systems are reliable in thunderstorms with strong gusts of wind.
The handles are made of wood, rubber or plastic. Wooden models are more pleasant to the touch, while plastic ones are more practical. Often, handles become a decoration of models. They come in different shapes, sometimes turning into animal silhouettes. More often, the beautiful half of humanity prefers umbrellas with the usual forms of handles, focusing on the colors of the dome.

After application, the umbrella is dried until completely dry in a half-open form in a suspended state (for example, on a door handle).
