The VELLUXE umbrella is designed to last and to shine even in the rainiest days. It spans 46 inch to protect your whole body from rain. It folds down to mere 12 inches, and weights at less than 1lb, easy to store in your purse, your bag, and suitcase. It has a double canopy design, allowing wind to pass through, while the water resistant coating on the high density pongee fabric allows water to quickly slide off. The ribs of the umbrella are crafted from fibreglass, which is lightweight and flexible, while the shaft of the umbrella is made from rust-resistant electroplated metal shaft to enhanced durability.
