I am selling a Ralph Lauren long umbrella. It uses carbon fiber ribs, which are lighter and more flexible than conventional metal ribs. It's designed to deflect wind and resist breaking. Defects: 1) Fading from storage (images 1-2) 2) Minor scratches on the handle (images 9-10) 3) One small fray (image 13) It has been used only a few times and is still in good condition, but please understand the above defects and check the images before purchasing.
