Umbrellas

An umbrella is a hand-held personal device used to offer protection against the rain or the sun. They are an ideal promotional gift because they can be branded with corporate logos and are available in corporate colours. Umbrellas can be divided into two categories – fully collapsible umbrellas where the supporting canopy retracts and makes umbrella compact enough to be stored in a handbag. Non-collapsible umbrellas, like a golf umbrella, have a support which cannot be retracted but a canopy which can be collapsed. Umbrellas are also commonly called brollies. Umbrellas are used personally for recreation and also during various outdoor sporting events.
