I personally only have a cheap no name umbrella right now, but there are several "Knirpse" in use in the family and they're great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help---best-collapsible-unbrella#post-1503058 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 18:06:59 +0000 Gaylene 1503058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've used Fulton umbrellas for decades and usually want to treat myself to a new brollie before my old one gives out. The Bay often has a good selection of the slimline and ultra light collapsible styles which fit easily into my smallish handbags so they are always with me. I prefer the manual ones because they are lighter. The Fulton frames are designed so they snap back into shape if the wind turns them inside out. I've never had a frame break on me. My husband often carries a tiny rectangle one in his jacket pocket. </p> <p><a href="http://www.fultonumbrellas.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.fultonumbrellas.com</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help---best-collapsible-unbrella#post-1503051 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 17:47:37 +0000 approprio 1503051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a big fan of Knirps umbrellas.
