I regularly use umbrellas and so far without too much worry about the quality "technical", nor the quality "perceived", see product elegance. I was rather on the Isotoner® or no name when the Isotoner® although it is given extra strong ... has made much faster than expected soul. In short, I looked for a good value for money but I was tired of putting in under the "consumable". After seeing the many comments plébicitant Lenger this umbrella, I crossed the not ... saying ... it's cheap, at worst it'll be like the others but cheaper. In short, umbrella ordered on Monday, received on Wednesday chronopost with the rapidity Amazon Prime .. Tried the same day in rain / wind. Simply impressed. Perceived quality: top, although simplistic finish (top - do not forget to remove the plastic on the curved shaft), solid whales, taut canvas, very nice and gradual opening. In short this far is clearly the best umbrella that I bought myself. I would see the time but I can not recommend you this umbrella. Nothing faultless made in France. Oh yes, I forgot. If you wear the costume ... it is known to be perfect and complement your style. I took the black. Congratulations Lenger.
