I'm a 6' tall male who likes to wear a satchel around his shoulder like a messenger bag. I got so frustrated with my current umbrella keeping the top half of my body dry but the bottom half soaked in a rain storm I looked into buying a new umbrella that was advertised as "large". This umbrella meets both requirements I wanted with having a very large open top and professional look. My only complaint (which is why I gave it 4/5 instead of 5/5) is the handle is a little on the small side, but not to the point it's unwieldable.
