Tested in the Côte d'Azur last week through thunder storms, torrential rain and two foot of snow! Never blew inside out, unlike many others around me! Quite compact when open so meant I was not poking people's eyes out in the crush of Nice carnival! Looks good and slips into a small handbag. What more could you want!

this brolly came super quick .i am very happy with it.

I purchased this umbrella because I thought my current umbrella was unuseable through wind damage. Actually I can still use it. However, this new umbrella is very similar - the stripes are brighter (good) and colouring more attractive. I have not yet used it but I am expecting it to have the same reliability as my current umbrella which has had regular use over the last ten years.
