I always hated the fact that normal umbrellas have their handles in the middle, especially when I'm sharing an umbrella with someone else.
This umbrella solved two problems for me! I'm seriously thinking about ordering one. My only concern is that would one side of the umbrella be significantly heavier than the other side? That'd be a pain to hold it up all the time.
No, you hardly notice that. I have one of these from an early production batch, back when this was just a nifty research project at Delft University and they were handing them out as University swag with the DU logo on it.
