A parasol or folding umbrella to protect your loved one. How to choose a parasol or folding umbrella to give to a man.

"What should I give to that special someone?" Birthdays, anniversaries, or Father's Day. Choosing a gift for a man can be surprisingly difficult, as their tastes and hobbies are so diverse. In such a case, why not give them a "high-quality umbrella" that combines practicality and functional beauty?

Especially with the recent heatwaves, men's parasols have gone from being something to endure to being a smart choice, becoming a necessity for business people. In this article, an umbrella expert will share with you how to choose a gift that will please men, as well as some top models that make perfect gifts.

Imagine the other person's "movement style"

The key to a successful gift is to imagine the recipient's daily routine.

  • For those who want to always be light on their feet, a folding umbrella is the perfect item to keep in your commuter bag. Lightweight models that you'll forget you have are especially great for lowering the psychological hurdle of carrying one.

  • The automatic opening and closing function, which can be operated with one button, is appreciated by those who spend a lot of time outside or traveling by car . The smart design allows you to operate it with one hand when you have a lot of luggage or when getting in and out of the car, and once you try it, you'll never want to let it go.

Also, if you are giving a parasol as a gift, it must be suitable for both sunny and rainy days. The practicality of being able to use one umbrella in both rain and strong sunlight is a point that is highly appreciated by many men.

AMVEL's long-lasting gift selection

We will introduce carefully selected models from the AMVEL lineup that are perfect for men who are particular about their tools.

  • Durable and tough enough for long-term use HEATBLOCK Lightweight folding Made with Cordura® fabric, it's resistant to abrasion and tearing. It offers 100% light blocking, weighs just 140g, and is durable, making it a must-have for gadget lovers.

  • A fusion of size and style Very Large Flat The flat design overturns the common belief that automatic opening and closing bags are heavy and bulky. Despite its large size of 107cm in diameter when unfolded, it fits easily into the gaps in your bag. It's the perfect solution for larger men or those who want to keep their belongings dry.

  • A sense of security that deflects the wind TOUGHNESS This durable model dispels the fear that folding umbrellas are easily broken. Its tough construction gives you peace of mind even on windy commutes.

If you're unsure, use the "narrowing function" to find the best solution

For those who would like to specify more detailed conditions when making a selection, AMVEL UMBRELLA STORE offers a comprehensive filtering function .

You can search by detailed specifications, including weight and rib size, as well as wind resistance (wind speeds of 15-30 m/s), materials such as carbon fiber, and even stored length. You can easily find the perfect one based on the size of the recipient's bag and the wind strength in their area.

Providing the experience of everyday comfort

Giving an umbrella is not just about giving rain gear. It is about giving the recipient an experience that will make their daily life more comfortable, such as "moving smartly on rainy days" or "staying cool in the scorching summer sun."

The texture of the handle that fits comfortably in your hand, the smooth sound it makes when opening and closing, and the reliable light-blocking performance... the functional beauty found in the details is a sign of respect befitting a mature man.

This year, why not choose a reassuring gift that will protect your loved ones from the harsh sun and rain?
