Q. Is there a way to choose an umbrella that suits me?（2/3）

About umbrella types and lengths



Even if the size of the main ribs is the same, the degree of curvature can affect the size of the circle when the umbrella is open.

There are two main types of umbrellas: long umbrellas and folding umbrellas, and these are further subdivided based on how they open and their size.
The size range, which is an important factor when choosing an umbrella, refers to the length of the main ribs when the umbrella is open. Even if the size is the same, the degree of curvature of the ribs and the number of ribs can differ depending on the manufacturer, so a larger number isn't always better. It's important to choose a size that suits your height and the amount of luggage you usually carry.
Just like choosing clothes, please check the size in the mirror to make sure your belongings and shoulders won't get wet when you make your selection.
