I have used this umbrella outdoors once as a parasol. This folding parasol has elegant frills that give it a feminine impression. You can choose from two types: the "2-section folding umbrella," which is the first folding umbrella to achieve a round and deep silhouette, and the "3-section folding umbrella," which has been improved to have a rounder silhouette than the angular shape of conventional folding umbrellas. It offers complete blackout with a 100% light-blocking rate, shutting out the harsh summer sun. It is a "cool" and "non-glaring" parasol with heat-shielding effects. It is water-repellent, so you can use it on rainy days as well.
