We love how the Umbrella XL Family looks so minimal but packs a punch in coverage. Every once in a while we come across a product that is just built with user comfort in mind - and it’s not just the big canopy that makes us say this, although it’s probably the first thing you’ll notice about this umbrella. It’s got some really nifty features like an ergonomic foam-covered grip (nobody likes holding onto an uncomfortable or unreliable handle), a sturdy metallic shaft, and the silver button for automatic opening if your hands are full during one of those winter showers. The 129cm diameter is large enough to shield 3-4 people without being unwieldy to use, and when combined with the neutral dark grey waterproof POE canopy, it presents itself as a very classy but functional item to keep around.
