Size - Before your purchase, always consider how much shade you need. The actual needs will decide the size of umbrella. For example, if you are traveling in a sunny area and don't want a suntan in face, then the best one is the hat umbrella that wears like a hat and offers shade for face. If you are planning to spend a weekend at rainy area with your family, choose a larger size which can offer a shade for a whole table. How much shade you will receive is determined by the shade diameter of an umbrella.
Fabric - Choose quality, durable materials that can withstand harsh weather conditions. Determine what kind of weather your umbrella will need to resist. If you travel in a mild area and just want to keep an umbrella in case of rain and wind, then a thinner, less expensive fabric, such as polyester, might easily help you out. However, if your umbrella is going to resist sunshine, you may need a more durable fabric such as sunbrella. These sun umbrellas can effectively keep off the Sun's harmful UVA and UVB rays, and they are great for the rain too!
Handle - When buying the non-telescoping umbrellas, you'd better make sure that the shaft length is suitable and convenient for you. You can try it by putting the umbrella standing upright on the ground. If one end of the umbrella can reach your wrist, it can protect you from rain better than those that can not.
Alas, in the Valley of the Sun there is seldom any rain and it's too hot to be in the sun for me. I don't won't own an umbrella, but the next time I purchase one for when I leave the valley I will know what to look for. Thank u for the information glory. I really is a good tip
What about those little umbrellas that are stuck into a piece of fruit floating in an iced drink? Do you have any tips on just which drink would be better then the others?
