Brand Fusion’s Guide to Golf Umbrellas
As we approach autumn and winter, it’s good to prepare for the changing weather. Using a good quality golf umbrella can help protect both you and your clubs when out on the golf course. It’s good to consider what qualities you want in you next golf umbrella before making your purchase.
Protect Yourself, Rain or Shine
Choose an umbrella that can help protect you from a variety of different weather conditions. Obviously, you want an umbrella that will help shield you from the rain, but there are now more options that will help shield you from the sun as well.
Items like the Sun Mountain H2NO Vision Umbrella offer sun protection with a 50SPF coating on the inside; offering you protection whether it’s raining or a sunny day! It also offers a double window, so you can safely see the way ahead as you move around the course.
Size Matters
The bigger your umbrella canopy, the more protection you get – it’s that simple! Ideally you should aim to cover both you and your clubs with an umbrella that has a canopy of at least 60 inches. By covering your clubs in bad weather, you’ll protect your equipment’s life span. As a bonus, you’re much less likely to have to deal with club slippages when it’s wet!
The Sun Mountain H2NO and H2NO Vision Umbrellas offer a 68 inch canopy, offering the greatest amount of protection. For a smaller 62 inch canopy, the Sun Mountain Dual Canopy Umbrella and Pro Tekt are good options to shield yourself from the sun and rain.
Wind Resistance
Ideally you want an umbrella that will be able for multiple adverse weather conditions, including high wind speeds. Look for a product that mentions its high wind resistance to ensure your product is less likely to invert or blow away. For even more protection against the wind, opt for an umbrella that has a Double Canopy. The dual layers increase the wind resistance capability and make it safer for you and your golf partners on the course. The H2NO Vision Umbrella combines its double canopy with a tipless design to offer you even more protection from the wind and rain.
Materials and Colour
One of the things to consider when purchasing your next umbrella is what materials are used in its design. If you prefer a more lightweight option, choosing an umbrella that uses fibreglass is a wise choice. All of the Sun Mountain umbrellas offer their patented robust fibreglass frame, making them a strong, yet lightweight, option.
One thing to keep in mind when choosing your umbrella is what kind of visibility you want when out on the course. Choosing an umbrella with a brighter colour can increase your visibility on cloudy days and help protect you from errant golf balls that may fly your way.
Storage
Umbrella holders can be a useful tool when out on the course as they save you from fussing with carrying your umbrella and pushing your golf trolley at the same time. If your trolley doesn’t have an Umbrella Holder, consider putting this attachment on to save your peace of mind. Or, if you’re looking for a new trolley, look for one that has this attachment built in, like the Sun Mountain Pathfinder PX3!
