The Difference Between Folding, Medium, and Golf Umbrellas

Umbrellas are a tool that we use in everyday life, but sometimes it is difficult determining which umbrella is right for you and your promotional brand campaign. Here are the key differences between folding, medium and golf umbrellas.

Product Sizes

These three umbrellas drastically vary in size. Starting from the smallest, we have our folding umbrellas. Folding umbrellas are perfect for every day use due to their portability. They can be easily stored in your bag or purse and pulled out when the time comes. Next, we have our medium umbrellas. These are fantastic due to their wide coverage. You could easily shield two people from the rain with this wide brim umbrella. Finally, we have our golf umbrellas. These jumbo parasols span almost 2m in length and are guaranteed to block anything falling from the sky. All are perfect promotional products, so choose the one most suited to your campaign.

Umbrella Prices

Naturally, these umbrellas vary in pricing. Depending on the quality and make, most of these umbrella’s actually average around the same price but may differ depending on specific features. For example, folding umbrellas can go from as little as $9 to $50. Similarly, medium parasols start at around $11 and rise to $100. And lastly, golf umbrellas start at $10 and peak at $115. We are certain there is a price range that suits your needs and one that will effectively garner your brand attention.

Item Styles

All of these umbrellas come in different shapes and styles. Folding umbrellas are limited to the classic button spring open with a 6-panel canopy. Additionally, they feature an armband for support and a carrying sleeve to keep the umbrella in its compact shape. The medium size parasols greatly vary from moulded rubber handles, steel shafts to flat grips and 8-panel canopies. Some of the more advanced models feature wind and water resistance. The golf umbrellas follow a similar build to medium parasols but with a more robust build. They lean more to a 6-panel canopy with a reinforced from design. They are also incredibly sturdy and designed for use throughout the day.
