The Umbrella Medium is a specific type of umbrella known for its classic, versatile, and mid-sized design. It sits between the compact foldable umbrella and the large, sturdy golf umbrella.
Key characteristics include:
Size: Typically has an 8-rib canopy with a diameter of around 42-48 inches, offering excellent rain coverage for one or two people.
Shaft: Features a straight, non-folding shaft made of wood (like oak) or metal, which gives it a timeless, elegant look and often greater durability than compact models.
Operation: It is manually opened and closed (non-automatic) and often has a classic wooden crook handle for easy hanging on an arm or hook.
Use: Considered a reliable, everyday carry umbrella that is more wind-resistant than a compact folding umbrella but less portable.
