Long umbrella
The long umbrella, with a straight or curved handle, offers the best coverage and a sturdier frame than a folding model. It’s the choice for walking and for windy days.

Long umbrella: what you should know
Wide coverage
The canopy is wider and deeper than a pocket umbrella’s: you shelter with your bag and keep your shoulders dry.
A sturdier frame
A one-piece shaft and reinforced ribs withstand gusts better than a telescopic mechanism. The trade-off: it doesn’t fit in a bag, so a stand or a wrist strap is better.
Which handle to choose
The curved handle hangs from your forearm; the straight handle is used like a walking stick. After the rain, leave it to dry open before putting it away.
