An Umbrella History

The umbrella is derived from the Latin word “umbra” meaning shade. In the western world, the umbrella has become popular in the 16 – 17th centuries.

They used to have a similar thing to an umbrella now we know as the first evidence found umbrellas are used over a long time. What we use today is a modified, evolved version of the same umbrella that used in Egypt. They have used some large leaves of trees as a shade or a cover to not get soaked from the rain.

Weather Protection (Rain)

Weather is the first thing we expect protection from an umbrella. When it comes to a strong downpour, the water repellent of the canopy is a must. This water repellency allows you to get the umbrella dry within seconds. Most umbrella manufacturers use microfiber clothing for the canopy. Microfiber cloths are woven tightly with extremely fine fibers that do not allow water to pass through the fabric. Even a cute kids umbrella, this water repellent feature is most required to make sure your little human to stay dry in a strong downpour.

Weather Protection (Sun)

We wouldn’t care about using an umbrella as a shade on the sun because most of us think umbrellas are used to protect ourselves from rain. As guys think, umbrellas are more of a lady thing to use in public. But like today, the ozone layer is depleting very fast that gives room to harmful rays of the sun to burn our skin and cause serious skin conditions. Protecting your kid’s skin is a major concern if they are going outside exposed to the sun.

Parents should aware that when selecting a cute kids umbrella, every main feature that an umbrella required to protect your loved ones. Other than the weather protection, canopy size is another concern when selecting a cute small umbrella. Most of the time we used to select a larger canopy size but this may get you into trouble when using it in crowded areas. Smaller canopy size can get you wet because of the lack of the coverage area by the canopy when raining. There are different sizes of canopies from smaller to larger (Golf umbrellas) that you need to carefully select according to the requirement.

Compactness of The Umbrella

Researches done in the US tells us 33% of people lose their umbrellas because of forgetting it where they put it. Maybe it’s in public transportation, office, a restaurant we keep forgetting them. Think that you walk to a restaurant in the rain with your umbrella but suddenly rain stops while you take your meal. Then you forget you need the umbrella anymore because there is no rain. That’s why we need a compact umbrella to make sure that even in a hurry, we don’t forget the umbrella. As adults this happens to us and how do you think that may happen with kids? They need a cute compact umbrella that they can put it right back into their backpacks when not using. They would not forget their cute mini umbrella is even in there with them all the time. If the cute rain umbrella your kid has water repellent canopy clothing, it is easy to shake away the water and put it in the bag without getting the backpack wet. The compactness of an umbrella is most considered when traveling. A cute compact umbrella can be a travel partner in the rain when you really need it.

Shaft of the Umbrella

Most compact umbrellas have a shaft that can push in or pull out to make the shaft shorter or longer when needed. This feature is essential for the compactness of the umbrella.
