First, I wanted to mention that the duckhead handle was the selling point for me and it is so well-crafted.
Frankly, when I first opened my ODH umbrella I was underwhelmed due to the fact that the fabric seemed thin and frail. I've had double-lined umbrellas before so I thought that I would be disappointed.
I was proven wrong! A day after I got my ODH, it rained hard in Sydney and I was thoroughly impressed with how waterproof it is. I barely needed to wait for it to dry because it repelled water well. Now, I am so happy with my purchase!
