When it rains, it pours. But with the right repelumbrella.com umbrella, a rainy day can be just as fun as a sunny one. Use these tips to help you figure out which type of umbrella is best for you and how to use them properly.
Have you ever walked outside on a cool, sunny day only to get drenched in an instant? That's because umbrellas don't always work the way they should. Here are some tips on proper navigation and utilization of this weather-saving device. Follow this guide to ensure that your next rainy day isn't a total loss!
Safety Tips
When using an umbrella, always be aware of your surroundings. It can be easy to get distracted and put yourself in danger while you're busy getting dry under the protection of a canopy.
When walking with an umbrella, make sure that you still pay attention to where you're going and who is around you.
Don't open your umbrella inside. This will cause a giant mess of water on the ground and everything else in the immediate vicinity. Your umbrella may breach if not enough pressure is applied when opening it up, so an accidental gust of wind could dramatically increase the radius of your splash.
Make sure you close your umbrella before entering a building
An open umbrella will drip water all over the place, so never take it inside with you. The best plan is to step out from under it and give it a few minutes to drip dry before going in anywhere. If you plan not to use the umbrella again, consider closing it up all the way.
Types of Umbrellas
The traditional umbrella consists of a metal pole and fabric canopy held open by bendable metal ribs. One open end of the pole has a handle for you to hold onto, while the other stays shut until opened manually.
The type of umbrella you use is entirely up to your preference
The "Windproof" Repel Travel Umbrella is a common choice for inclement weather. It features ribs made with fiberglass or other lightweight materials designed not to break when exposed to strong winds. Unlike the traditional umbrella, they are light enough for one-hand operation. Many can also be adjusted to a lesser angle to better handle strong gusts.
One of these can provide you with more freedom during windy conditions
These umbrellas are quite popular for both fashion and function, as they come in various shapes, colors, and sizes. They also look great when paired with matching rain boots!
There are a few different types of compact umbrellas on the market, and they're all pretty good at protecting you from rain.
All compact umbrellas have some spring mechanism that allows them to fold inward, making them easy to carry around when not in use.
While still retaining a small size, you can't beat a classic umbrella for maximum protection.
Try a full-size model with an automatic opening and closing function if you're looking for an umbrella that offers the best of both worlds. A button or trigger on the handle releases the canopy when needed; it shuts itself to prevent dripping. It's the best way to stay dry while still having a free hand.
