No more folding umbrella for me. I have had trouble opening a folding umbrella when there was a sudden downpour. Also it always overturned when there was a heavy breeze.
I had many folding umbrellas. I gave them all away and have now settled down to the ordinary, gent’s umbrella. It is large and protects me fully. I have no trouble opening it, either.
Staying trendy is fine but not at the cost of discomfort. I am happy I took this decision. It is quite durable and I am having it for the last two years.
The tone of the umbrella I notice meets with Kim’s pastal colour challenge.

I very rarely use a folding umbrella. I have it in my purse “just in case”.
And by the time you open it and that too if it opens quickly no purpose would be served (lol)
At one time I had many folding umbrellas when I lived and worked in NYC you could buy them on the street for $1 in all kinds of colors
But they hardly served the purpose for me.
