Test result preview
We have the Umbrella from Wilford & Sons tested as the ideal companion for rainy days. With his classic design, innovative features and compact size, this premium umbrella is not only practical but also a stylish accessory. The fully automatic folding umbrella has a ergonomic, non-slip handle, which ensures a secure hold. Thanks to the new double-ventilated design, the wind is intelligently directed through the umbrella openings, allowing the umbrella to withstand strong gusts without folding over. The 9 robust aluminum struts also ensure that the frame can withstand the wind without breaking. One point of criticism of the umbrella, however, is the unnecessary and not environmentally friendly plastic packaging.
Benefits
- Water-repellent Teflon layer
- fully automatic
- Reinforced aluminum coated frame
- Double ventilated design
Disadvantages
- Too much unnecessary plastic packaging
