One of the key benefits to this umbrella is a 3 year warranty on the fiberglass ribs as a opposed to your standard one year warranty. This umbrella will hold up against anything you throw at it; it has the benefits of both worlds.
Umbrella has no rope or lever for Winding.Cut the tip of my thumb this morning ( no blood just the skin)This afternoon I tried to raise higher and it almost cut my finger in half plenty of blood.Ive had 50 umbrellas in my day and never got cut.It is heavy duty and also very sharp.Beware!!!!
