Appears light and strong but will get better chance to evaluate it during the winter months craftsmanship you wont find with any other umbrellathis is one huge umbrella and let me tell you this is going to take a fair amount of wind to turn it inside out like so many of the old umbrellas do

It is vented in such a way that air passes through so as to not cause to much in the way of destruction to the umbrella and with the rustproof fiberglass frame of this umbrella combined with its super water repellent fabric helps you and it withstand even the most extreme conditions

Putting down the umbrella or closing it is easy and it does not take much or any strength if your wrists or arms are weak you will still be able to shut the umbrella with ease

Whilst the main colour of the umbrella is black there is quite a large green company logo on the side and also on the handle where the shiny disc looks quite nice and will be of use if anyone admires your umbrella and wishes to buy one too
