 Rating:  - Nice look but poor qualityI recently purchased this umbrella from Amazon.com. I was excited to use it the first time - worked great and impressed me with its rain/wind protection. But my happiness was short-lived - during the second storm (heavy rain) - it broke (one of the "composite" frames that support the awning) while opening the umbrella! I have just returned the item and have requested a refund. (I do treat my umbrellas with care - my last, and still in use-Wilson golf umbrella has been with me since 1998 and still ... Read More Rating:  - Excellent travel umbrellaThis is my third one of these umbrellas (I tend to lose them). I carry it when travelling; it is small enough to pack in my computer bag, yet large enough to keep me dry. I find the product to be well made and reliable, and I particularly like the "gust-buster" double canopy. Rating:  - Good design, but poor, shoddily-constructed materialsI'm not particularly rough with umbrellas -- in the past, I've only had umbrellas damaged in extreme weather. But this GustBuster sustained two broken pieces before it saw its first drop of rain. Before I had even opened the umbrella the first time, the plastic tip on the top had shattered (after withstanding a drop of several inches onto carpet), AND the strap had broken (during normal handling). This was a depressing introduction to a product I had just bought. Actual use of the umbrella ... Read More Rating: - Maybe mine was defective, but...After putting it to it's first test of steady rain and 10-20mph winds, the umbrella failed to survive the one-block walk from my building to the subway station. The inner supports had all disconnected from the center hub prior to the first time I tried to close the umbrella, and began to cut through the upper fabric. This led to most of the connecting pins along the outer spokes (which look like they were made from the same metal wire as paper-clips) falling free and rendering the thing completely useless. ... Read More Rating: - This is not an overblown productIf you travel to windy places where it rains, this is the umbrella for you. The cheap "travel" umbrellas are just that. The extra money you will pay for this superior product is worth its weight in effectiveness.Don't pack something that just won't work in a breeze. |
