BLUNT Classic Large Windproof Umbrella – 47" Umbrella for Wind and Rain, Durable Canopy Design, Heavy Duty for Everyday Travel, UV Protection - Black

Best umbrella I've ever used - and I've owned many over my 72 years. It's solid but not overly heavy. It's safe and secure to use in the wind and in a crowd. Just get this one.

This umbrella may be pricy but with good care, it should last you decades because it is designed to be easy to fix if problem arise. On blunt.com you can sign up for B Hub which design to give you repair instructions.

I've had all kinds of experiences with umbrellas, and this one wins. I'd recently purchased (and promptly returned) a WindPro umbrella that turned into a portable birdbath after five steps in mild winds. When I received this umbrella I knew from the moment I picked it up that it was solid and strong. It took a little more effort to open than other umbrellas do, but the force required to lock it out keeps it from inverting in strong winds. I can't say I've had it in hurricane winds yet, but the storms it's weathered thus far leave me confident that it'll stand up to a gale. The blunt tips are also quite nice, since I tend to walk with the family and don't want to put any eyes out. This is a great umbrella, bot functionally and stylistically!

I like the blunt curves but it does not open automatically. Fully manual umbrella at this price point is unacceptable.

Not the most attractive design - chunky and plasticky - but so far has proven rugged and effective.

Well made

The best umbrella i have found. Very well constructed and sturdy. Good value for money. Closes and opens early. Size is perfect and not too heavy.

I get compliments on this umbrella all the time. Did not know an umbrella could be so good. The corners can wear thin after a lot of use. Only other con is that it's expensive, so I was sad when I lost this. Tells you a lot that I immediately had a new one shipped.
