The umbrella, cane, riding crop and miscellaneous accessories porn thread - Page 37

Gustbusters look great but I have a Stormshield golf umbrella (like Steve R and like Mark who sheltered me home on Tuesday evening) which has the same sort of vent idea, and which I tend to use if its really stormy when I leave the house. I do get blown around a lot if Im using it though because of the size of the canopy. My Brigg golfer is a little smaller (about 54 inches), and is more rigid because it has a metal frame rather than a fibreglass one, and so I find it easier to control. However, if its an "umbrella-damaging" sort of day, it would be much cheaper to replace the stormshield rather than the Brigg golfer...

One of the girls at the office bought a Senz a couple of years ago and it lasted about 6 months in the Brighton wind before being broken apart.

There's also a company called Blunt Umbrellas which has a new design which might be worth considering.

If its umbrella-breaking weather and I have to close my brolly, I try to keep dry by wearing a rainhat and long raincoat (of if its really bad my hooded long cape), along with boots.

^Thanks. Stormshield looks nice, but I don't like the look of the Blunt umbrellas. I still like the Gustbuster most of all. Perhaps I'll buy it this fall.
