What Makes These Brands “Top Rated”? (An Insider’s Guide)
Why do the brands above command high prices and loyal customers? As a factory that has worked with clients like The British Museum and large retailers, here is the secret formula:
- Frame Material: Top brands rarely use cheap aluminum. They use Fiberglass or Carbon Fiber which bends without breaking in the wind.
- Fabric Quality: They use high-density Pongee Fabric (often 190T or 210T) instead of cheap Nylon. It dries faster and feels premium.
- Sustainability: Many top brands are now shifting to RPET (Recycled Plastic) fabrics to meet global eco-standards.
