Vented Umbrellas for Windy Wintry Days

25 January 2015 | Admin

Unless you have been hiding indoors for the past week or so, or have escaped the UK for some Winter sun, it can't have escaped your attention that the weather outside is rather windy at the moment. We have been quite lucky in central Scotland as we haven't seen much snow yet, but there has certainly been a few gusty rainy days where a sturdy windproof umbrella was needed to get into work in the morning! Not only that, there is a sharp nip in the winter winds just now, that cuts right through you if you are not wrapped up well against the elements. All in all, I would say I have used my umbrella more this year so far than I did this time last year.

In these wintry conditions we all want an umbrella that will shelter us from the rain, but also resist the wind, preventing those horrible sitations where the umbrella inverts, and in many cases, causes it to break. Well, at Brolliesgalore we have a few solutions to this issue. Not only do we have a fantastic range of windproof umbrellas such as the Blunt Umbrella, which is available in a variety of sizes and can withstand very high windspeeds without damage to the frame, but we also have a selection of vented umbrellas for both men and women which aim to prevent your umbrella from flipping inside outn by allowing wind to pass through the canopy by means of a small vent. This reduces the windshear on the umbrella which can cause the umbrella to invert and damage the frame.

So this week we thought we would look through a selection of the vented umbrellas that we have available at Brolliesgalore. They are available in a range of styles and look great all year round. So if you like the selection we have chosen for you today, and want to find out more about the range of umbrellas we have available in this category, why not visit our Vented Umbrellas page at Brolliesgalore to see our full range and make sure those winter winds don't bite in 2015!
