Travel Windproof Compact Umbrella (Black)

A very reliable quality umbrella that will withstand winds up to 45 mile per hour. Looks & feels robust made from reinforced aluminium & industrial grade fibre glass. Designed with safety in mind with reflection material added to the outer canopy (piping) for dark nights in use, very effective. Open & closes at a push of a button, a decent quality cover sleeve with the manufacturers written logo. When open the canopy cover measures approximately 40 inches in diameter. A nice chunky grab handle with a looped thick nylon wrist band. Approximately 12 inches long closed, weighing 388 grams. As I understand it the owner of this business was actually a weatherman for a tv station in the USA who was so disgruntled by the quality of the umbrellas available he came up with his own design. This is my third Weatherman in current use, I agree they are not cheap but as long as you are not the kind of person that looses them you will find them value for money.

Excellent umbrella. Compact and strong. Highly recommended.

This is the 2nd one, and the smallest, Weatherman that I've given as a gift. I gave my niece the next size larger who walks 4 miles to work in a city each day. She was so thrilled with it she sent me a video of her using it on her walk in the rain one day without a single flip inside out. So, my daughter, her cousin, requested it as she recently moved to NYC and has had multiple umbrellas flip inside out on her. Because she's in Manhattan and travelling narrow sidewalks with scaffolding, she needed the smallest size possible and says this one has been 100% perfect in the first week of use. She likes the reflective strips, the fact that it folds easily into her tote, and, of course, the fact that it has refused to flip inside out when slapped with a gust of wind between buildings. She is thrilled with it! Brand seems to be well worth the money.

Stands up to East coast storms

Great umbrella. Strong, compact, has sleeve and can handle a stiff wind.
