They are probably all made in the same place and just have different logos for different companies. The Tein and Volk ones look exactly the same except for color/logo differences. They are most likely the same size as well.

umbrellas are gay period. Its socal, it doesnt rain too hard. A good jacket with a decent hood should withstand 99% of the rain we get here.
