Sturdy, reliable umbrella:
After using and throwing away too many "cheapo" umbrellas, I finally reviewed umbrellas. The Gust Buster promised to withstand high wind gusts, patented design to allow wind escape and not turn inside out, and seemed fair price for value. Bought from Amazon, received two days later. The umbrella received had a small manufacturing flaw. Found the manufacturer's customer service phone number. No long-winding numbers and menus, but instant live U.S. help.

sturdy, large wind-resistant umbrella:
I live in a place that doesn't see too much rain, but when there is rain, it is usually accompanied by gusty wind. During the rainy season last year, I purchased 4 umbrellas, and had 3 of them break in a 3 week period due to windy conditions.

I sifted through a pile of online reviews and settled on this GustBuster Classic 48-Inch Automatic Golf Umbrella. This umbrella has performed admirably so far... more info
won't stay closed!:
Purchased three of these umbrellas (one was the smaller "metro" umbrella.) All have been sturdy and have held up through all kinds of storms and wind. But they all have one major defect -- they will not stay closed! The clasp does not jut out far enough and when I close the umbrellas they pop back open within a few seconds. My other (cheaper) umbrellas have never had this problem. This forces me to give these only two stars instead of five. Definitely would not purchase again.
