Its a fine umbrella - but I bought one with the same spec and model number 2 years ago from this company for £23.99 - Just 2 years later has the price gone up by over 37%!

WROTE A LESS THAN FAVOURABLE REVIEW WHICH HAS NOT BEEN PUBLISHED - WHAT A SURPRISE!! HONESTY IS CLEARLY NOT IN THIS COMPANIES ETHOS.

Bought at short notice for a trip to Berlin. On first use, in light wind, umbrella folded itself inside out, despite being sold as "windproof". Was not impressed! Handle is also too small for prolonged use.

Would I buy again - definitely not.

Would I recommend it - No.

Not sure about it being golf size but it is certainly bigger than your average popup umbrella .. I am very happy with the size and the quality

I love this umbrella. It is a great size and i take it to work every day in my backpack but they only last about 6 months (and I don't use them that often) My first one broke when the spokes snapped and my second has just broken it won't open properly or close properly. I want to love them but they are a bit rubbish

I've only just received it but it is truly a "big top" Really quite large. I haven't used it in a wind storm yet so I'll get back to you on that one. Seems good for the price...

This is my fourth storm umbrella with a flap, and it is the best and sturdiest by far.

Copes with strong winds.
Big enough to provide good shelter from the torrential downpours.
Compact enough (Folded Length : 14 inches, 355mm) to fit in the bag nicely.
Handle is comfortable to grip but a little short (60 mm length), more an observation than a drawback.
TIP: To dry the brolly, do NOT spin very very fast and then stop it dead - as in very suddenly - using that comfortable handle. It can damage the shaft auto-retraction mechanism preventing it from opening and closing properly. With hindsight it was a stupid thing to do and does not detract from the brolly's robust nature.

Well worth the money
