Looking for a new Umbrella...

[Valor]

Maybe around $50-$75 range, what to get?

In NYC if that's relevant.


Thanks

I have a Davek Solo and like it a lot http://davekny.com/umbrellas_solo.htm

Same. Great umbrella. I got mine half off, which puts it in your range, but I'm not sure how easy it is to find prices like that.

I looked at their site, seems to look too much like the cheap low quality umbrellas, are these made to last?

Yeah, they're quite solid, and they have a lifetime guarantee, which granted I haven't had to try to make a claim against yet, I've only had mine about a year. Check one out in person and you'll be able to tell they're not cheaply made.

I have two of them and they are heavy. They are at least twice as heavy as the cheap ones.

If you don't mind carrying around a great big javelin of a thing, a Fulton Huntsman should come in well under budget. If you can't get it locally you can order from the UK. I've only had mine a few months, but I've been pleased with it.

I'm thinking about ordering one of these this week: http://www.saddler.co.uk/shop.html?c...crook_umbrella

With shipping to the States should be around $70. Anyone familiar with the brand?
