Ponchos and waterproofs

Handheld, folding and golf umbrellas. A seasonal gift fondly remembered on a rainy day, and unforgiving of poor quality.

How we choose

It's the wind that breaks an umbrella.

Not the rain: the wind. That's why we look at the rib system before the fabric. An umbrella that flips inside out on the first stormy day leaves a negative impression of your brand all winter.

  • Fibreglass ribs in windproof models
  • Automatic open and close where it makes sense
  • Recycled fabric with water-repellent treatment

The detail

One branded panel is enough.

Branding all eight panels multiplies the cost and worsens the result. One or two, done well.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Umbrella and rain

If yours is not here, write to us. People answer, not an automatic form.

How many ribs should a personalised umbrella have?

Eight as a minimum. With six, the fabric bags between the ribs and the wind catches it; with eight, the tension is spread much better. Golf umbrellas usually have ten or twelve, which is why they hold up as well as they do.

Fibreglass or steel ribs?

Fibreglass over steel, because it flexes and springs back instead of staying bent.

What is a windproof umbrella?

One with a double canopy: it lets a gust escape through the top vent instead of pushing against the whole canopy. It's the detail that separates an umbrella that lasts one winter from one that lasts five.

Folding umbrella or stick umbrella?

The folding one fits in a bag and is what people actually carry with them; the stick one gives more protection and gets left behind everywhere. For mass giveaways, the three-section folding umbrella is the one that genuinely gets used.

How many umbrella panels should you mark?

One or two, done well. Marking all eight panels multiplies the cost and makes the result worse.
