A tandem umbrella is designed for two people and has a double-width top. It can be romantic but may not be practical for couples with a height difference. Some have one handle and come in black or red colors. They can add to a romantic Valentine’s Day.
A tandem umbrella is an umbrella designed to be used by two people at the same time. Tandem umbrellas look a lot like regular umbrellas, but have a double-width top. The word, tandem, refers to something that has two identical parts. Usually, the two parts are located one behind the other, as in a tandem baby carriage and a tandem bicycle. Just like a tandem baby carriage is a stroller for two and a tandem bicycle is a bicycle for two, a tandem umbrella could be considered an umbrella for two.
These umbrellas are often advertised as being designed for “sticky couples.” People seem to either love these umbrellas or hate them! Some people think that a tandem umbrella is ultra-romantic and glamorous, while others feel that this type of umbrella for couples is almost sweet and not always practical. Both people have to be quite close in height or walking together under a tandem umbrella can be very uncomfortable and the shorter person can still get rained on.
Some types of tandem umbrellas have one handle and these may work better for couples with a height difference than tandem umbrellas that have two handles. The end of the handle can be elegant or simple in shape. A tandem umbrella is always double wide, but some have one peak at the top and some have two. Most tandem umbrellas are available in solid black or red colors.
For some people, tandem umbrellas evoke images of old Hollywood glamor and romance. For example, a spectacular red tandem umbrella with a heart-shaped handle could add to a very romantic Valentine’s Day for a couple. If it rains during a Valentine’s date, such as when the couple is walking to or from a restaurant, one of them might surprise the other by unfurling the red heart-themed umbrella! The most practical tandem umbrellas fold so that carrying such a large umbrella is not a problem.
