This fine quality folding umbrella from the famous Fulton brand opens and closes at the touch of a button thanks to the 3 stage automatic strong wind resistant steel frame. It has 8 ribs which are 53cms in length when open. This umbrella is just 33.5cms long when folded - neat enough to fit into any briefcase. When open it has a span of 90cms. It is a nice change to find a gentlemans umbrella which is not plain black - this has a neat pink stripe. Please note that this umbrella has a hard wearing black man made rubberised handle - not wooden as shown in the image.
