TECKNET Windproof Umbrella - Strong Compact Travel Automatic, Large Wind Resistant with 10 Ribs, Folding Lightweight Golf Automatic for Rain

I bought this for my Dad after seeing his old umbrella lose it's fight against the wind. It's taken a while for me to review this item because I needed to be there on the right day to see it in action. According to my Dad windproof means it won't blow inside out so he was a little disappointed, I have different thoughts on this though, yes, the outer part of the umbrella did blow 'inside out' but it was only the outer part of the umbrella so he wasn't totally exposed to the rain while it happened, also, it did not break, on that particularly windy day if it handn't partially turned upwards the wind would have pulled it out of my Dad's hands and he would have ended up losing it anyway. In my Dad's opinion it's not that good but in my opinion it's so good that I'm considering buying one for myself even though I don't usually carry an umbrella. Oh, I nearly forgot the important bit, it is waterproof.

Good sturdy umbrella

Excellent strong umbrella which holds well in the cold, windy and rainy weather.Brolly is medium size and fits nicely in a big handbag. The brolly comes with a cover to slide on when folded back up. The brolly is quite expensive but we live in the UK where the weather is very unpredictable and it can rain at any time of the day so it is best to be prepared. A good investment when commuting to work and you need the umbrella at short notice which is very possible.

This umbrella feels really sturdy compared to other collapsible handbag umbrellas. This is the most robust one I have found.

Happy with purchase would buy again

It is not wind proof at all! In fact, it turns upside/inside out more frequently than the cheap ones do. Would not recommend at all

The picture doesn't show how big & very heavy this brolly is. Weighs a tone & wouldn't fit in any handbag I owned, except maybe a shopper. But who wants to lugg that additional weight around. Not used it yet, but understand why it's billed as sturdy. I'd say it's a safe bet for reliability.

Is windproof so far. I live in a very hilly area and is first Brolly that’s lasted more then a few rain storms.
