In 2011, I accidentally bought a flat ultra-compact umbrella, which was very convenient and I served for six years. Who bought exactly the same, and another one "in reserve".
Twice I wrote about this umbrella (ammo1.livejournal.com/168130.html, ammo1.livejournal.com/752177.html). It is called Zest 45510, weighs 173 g and due to tiny size (length 16.5 cm) and flat shape perfectly placed in the back pocket of jeans. Canopy size 93/78 cm (at the widest / narrowest point), it is enough for one person, and in an emergency situation and for two. Umbrella is completely mechanical.
Umbrella has served me for six years as the core, and a year ago began to "crumble". First, he replaced one spoke, then rivet fell and broke when I realized another borehole, it is better to buy a new one.
Then I bought a very similar-looking umbrella on Aliexpress (ammo1.livejournal.com/855335.html), But it broke in a year (just broken in half, one part of the metal spokes).
And then I decided to try again to find the same Zest. Offline stores are not found in online stores umbrellas it costs 1200 rubles. Suddenly, these umbrellas have appeared in Pleer.ru for 770 rubles + 234 rubles delivery. I first bought one, was convinced that he is a true and exactly the same as seven years ago, and bought a second reserve (and then suddenly withdraw them from the production).
Hopefully, in the next 12 years, I have umbrellas provided. :)
