How to Accurately Assess the Quality of an Umbrella
Umbrellas are daily necessities for people. Everyone should have the experience of buying umbrellas. But have you really understood umbrellas when you buy them? Do you think you can choose an umbrella? Is the umbrella you choose suitable for you? Do you know what to pay attention to when choosing an umbrella? Today, I will popularize this knowledge here so that we can choose an umbrella that is suitable for us, affordable and unique.
The quality of the ribs:
determines the quality of an umbrella. The ribs are mainly divided into fiber ribs and steel ribs. Fiber rib umbrellas are more wind-resistant and rust-proof. The number of ribs is divided into 8 ribs, 10 ribs, 16 ribs, etc. The more the better.
The density of the umbrella cloth:
The second point that determines the quality of an umbrella is the umbrella cloth used by the umbrella, and the key to the quality of the umbrella cloth is the density of the umbrella cloth. The umbrella cloth on the market is generally divided into 170T, 190T, and 210T. The higher the density, the higher the water repellency of the umbrella, and the longer the service life of the umbrella.
Straight-pole umbrellas are more durable:
Folding umbrellas are more retractable and portable than upright umbrellas, but considering the sturdiness, even if there are the same number of ribs and the same material of upright umbrellas and folding umbrellas, the durability of upright umbrellas will be higher than that of folding umbrellas, because folding umbrellas need to be folded, and the gap between the ribs and the umbrella cloth surface will be larger, which is more likely to be damaged by strong winds.
Turn the top of the umbrella to see the tightness:
Taking the upright umbrella as an example, the top of the umbrella is mostly made of plastic or metal. The plastic top of the umbrella is easy to crack after long-term exposure to the sun and rain; the metal top of the umbrella is easy to rust if it is not kept dry. When purchasing, you can use your fingers to slightly turn it. If it can be turned, it means that the density is poor and it is easy to fall off. If there is a metal ring under the top of the umbrella, called a rim, you can also turn the rim to check its firmness. Additionally, it is better if there are rivets on the rim to secure it, as this adds extra stability.
Turn the umbrella to test the handle:
Open the umbrella, hold the middle section of the main ribs with your left hand, hold the handle of the umbrella with your right hand, and use your right hand to turn the umbrella, first clockwise, then counterclockwise, and repeat several times. In this way, you can know whether the handle and the ribs are firm.
Folding and pulling trial:
The most feared thing about folding umbrellas is that the main ribs are stuck. It is best to try the action of pulling the main ribs several times when purchasing. If it feels smooth when pulling, the quality of the umbrella is good. If it feels stuck, don’t buy it.
The steps to choose an umbrella are as follows:
Look: Open the umbrella, aim at the light, and check whether there are fine holes, loose threads, color difference, etc. on the umbrella surface.
Check: Check the rainproof performance of the fabric. The longitude and latitude of the cloth umbrella surface should be tight; for nylon umbrellas, blow air on the umbrella surface with your mouth, and it is better to be airtight.
Open: Try to open the umbrella five or six times. When you press the button with your finger, the umbrella will open automatically, providing instant convenience. After closing the umbrella, shake it a few times. It is better if it does not open automatically.
Umbrella rib material is more important
The ribs of Sishun umbrellas are carefully made of high-strength aluminum alloy and fiberglass, which are both light and durable. The aluminum alloy ribs are not only rust-proof and corrosion-resistant, but also effectively withstand strong winds. The fiberglass ribs have excellent flexibility and impact resistance, making the umbrella stable and reliable in bad weather. Furthermore, these high-quality materials ensure that the ribs remain in good condition even after repeated use.Sishun umbrella ribs are exquisitely designed to provide you with long-lasting protection and a comfortable use experience, making it an ideal choice for your rainy day travel.
