What does Windproof and Windproof features mean?

  • Windproof system
Maximum frame flexibility with a wind-dependent folding ability - only FARE top models get this technology. Windproof system means that the glider can withstand strong gusts of wind. In extreme wind situations, it flaps but does not break. The rails do not break or bend.

  • Windproof features

    An umbrella with Windproof features has a higher frame flexibility and better wind resistance compared to frames without Windproof. FARE® models in the lower price segment have windproof features. This means that the frames of the umbrellas are more flexible and safer in the wind compared to umbrella models without windproof technology.


Which products are equipped with the fashionable reflectors?

But not with these umbrella models: With their modern colours, technical accessories and fashionable reflectors, these umbrellas tend to provide a more colourful and striking appearance for their wearers. The brand umbrellas from FARE can therefore shine with ideas that know how to convince. Some FARE umbrella models are equipped with the 3M Scotchlite™ Reflective material.
