After reading through hundreds and hundreds of unsatisfied reviews for numerous travel umbrellas us at Hodgson have compiled a list of things that our travel umbrella improves upon</br>The canopy has been upgraded with a double layer of DuPont Teflon coating and is secured through the use of 8 fiber glass ribs. The shaft is reinforced with alloy metal to improve both quality and durability. Overall we put in copious work to ensure our product would be best on the market and the results are indicative of the care and concern we put into constructing our products</br>Dupon Teflon is a waterproof material that is able to repel water or any other elements that you are likely to encounter in extreme weather conditions. It also prevents the canopy from absorbing any liquids. Every one of our Umbrella is hand sewn and assembled. Hand sewn products are less likely to be unravelled if one stitch is broken or comes undone meaning you get more longevity out of the umbrella</br>HODGSON strives to bring you simplest and easiest products to use. The auto open/close function on the umbrella allows for easy single-handed operation and it takes seconds to protect yourself from the elements. Compact design allows for easy storage in purses?? briefcases?? backpacks and more. If you are too lazy to check the weather forecast every day?? keep HOGSON in the corner of your bag and you'll be protected at all times</br>And because we're so confident in how capable our product is?? it comes with a 24 month warranty. On the unlikely event that your Hodgson umbrella breaks or is no longer usable?? let us now and we'll replace it.
