What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
This umbrella is really good. I recomend it for commuting as fulton tornado is a bit too heavy. My previous allegedly windproof umbrella was broken by err wind in the city (canyon effect when rounding a corner at barbican) so was looking for a new one... Read More
This is our 3rd order (husband left the other two on commute). They were purchased for 13, 17 and 20 pounds. Really impressed with the product.
Cons
Bought this umbrella with grandiose claims of windproof, weatherproof and so on. It broke on second use after a strong gust of wind rendered the opening/closing mechanism dysfunctional.
Build quality is poor, it's very wobbly and rattles all the time. The locking mechanism at the bottom in the handle is rubbish. Not to mention the rust and broken steel parts.
I'm not sure if the one i ordered was already faulty. Used once and sent back. No option to contact the seller. Contacted the seller support option through amazon and never heard back.
Only about third or fourth time opening. Couldn't collapse fully or lock out canopy. Sprang open when the cover was removed.
Highlights
Quality
Quality is acceptable value for money
The build quality is good openingclosing mechanism is alright and they keep the rain away
The treated cover makes it very quickdrying
Price
A bit expensive but justifies its price
Competitiveness
Smaller than a golf brolly obviously so its only going to shelter one person
Less sturdy than a larger brolly but with less windage and the inbuilt vents it should survive a strongish wind

The umbrella seemed sturdy on arrival but one of the ribs broke after just a few times of using possibly due to a manufacturing fault
