• patented reinforced rib
construction
-- help absorb the force of the
wind

'eye savers'
-- reinforce the points
between canopy and
frame, hence steel rods are
NOT exposed

• patented handle construction with

reverse opening
• acrylonitrile butadiene styrene(ABS)
-- light, rigid and shock-absorbent
-- used for golf club heads
• ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) foam
-- no-slip grip
