gustbuster umbrella

[maufic]

I'm looking to buy a decent windproof umbrella for the rainy spring walks to work. Amazon has a selection of gustbuster umbrella's for roughly $40 or less. Anyone have any experience with this brand? Can anyone recommend a better umbrella at roughly the same price?

You can get a briggs one at papworth for about $70.

Note, however, that shipping will cost you an extra GBP 48: http://www.papworthtravelgoods.co.uk...rvice/shipping

This is a good little shop that may be able to assist.

Given that my cheap umbrella was completely contorted by last night's strong winds, I'd be interested.

I have a Shedrain for those blustery days and it's held up well. It folds and has an auto-open button.
A word of advice. I originally bought one that opened and closed with the same button and it broke immediately upon closing. The shop replaced it and it happen again. Never buy an umbrella with a close function.
I love my Shedrain as it's huge, folds down to fit in a bag and the vent fuction works well. It's not elegant but it works when I need it to.
