The windproof umbrella: everything you need to know about this windproof umbrella

Wind is undoubtedly the sworn enemy of classic umbrellas, as it can easily damage them in an instant. Thanks to the windproof umbrella, however, those days are long gone. Find out all you need to know about this windproof umbrella, ideal for all weather conditions.

We've all seen our umbrella turn over and break in the wind when out and about. This is not only frustrating, it's also costly, as you often have to change your umbrella regularly. It can even represent a danger in the event of violent gusts, which can lead to injuries caused by broken umbrella parts. That's why a new type of umbrella has emerged to counter this problem: the anti-rollover umbrella, also known as the storm umbrella.

Designed to withstand the strongest winds, the storm umbrella has a number of specific features:

- A reinforced structure: the ribs and shaft are made from hard-wearing materials such as tempered steel, offering greater resistance to the forces of the wind.
- Anti-return system: the umbrella is equipped with a system that allows the wind to pass through the umbrella, created in 1994. Made up of 16 pieces of fabric and 8 of tulle, in the event of strong gusts of wind the wind passes through the tulle and prevents the umbrella from turning over. This prevents breakage and preserves the integrity of the umbrella.
- A strong canvas: the umbrella canvas is generally made from strong, waterproof materials such as polyester or cotton, which guarantee extra durability. So, unlike traditional umbrellas, which can easily turn over and break in the wind, a storm-proof umbrella can withstand strong winds (within reason).

Whether for professional or leisure activities, a wind-resistant umbrella is a wise investment in a variety of situations:

- For golfers: playing golf in windy conditions can be problematic with a conventional umbrella. Thanks to its resistance, the windproof umbrella makes it possible to play this sport in optimal conditions, even when the wind is blowing hard on the green.
- When out walking: those who enjoy walking in the open air can also take advantage of the benefits of a rollover protection umbrella, which will enable them to face up to bad weather and wind without fear.
- In the city: this type of umbrella offers effective protection against wind and rain, making it easier to get around town on a daily basis, especially on the way to work.

The windproof umbrella is also perfectly suited to outdoor leisure activities. Whether you're picnicking in the park, sightseeing or attending a music festival, you can make the most of these moments without worrying about the weather. Golf. Golfers are particularly exposed to wind and rain during their rounds, especially on seaside courses. A windproof umbrella is an essential piece of equipment to ensure good playing conditions and optimum protection from the elements during a round of golf. Hiking. When hiking, dealing with wind and rain can quickly turn a simple stroll into a real ordeal. With a windproof umbrella, hikers can concentrate on enjoying their activity, safe in the knowledge that they'll be well protected in the event of a sudden gust of wind.
