I bought the umbrella at JFK Airport when travelling to London. In its first use, a strong gust broke one of the "supporting arms". It's not completely useless and I will try and have it replaced as soon as I get back to the USA.

Good while it lasted
By JZ from Bethlehem, PA on 1/14/2008

I've had three of these. Lost the first two. The third just broke - umbrella simply won't close. It has probably been more than a year so won't be covered by warranty. Bottom line - good umbrella if you usually lose umbrellas within a year. Otherwise, there are probably more durable umbrellas around.

I've had this umbrella for about a year and it works great for me. I like the compact size it folds down to and the nice large size when opened.
The hook on the holster makes it nice & portable and it has lasted great. Mind you I live in California so torrential rains aren't a concern but I love my umbrella and think it was a smart investment.

Really Awful Umbrella
By Ben from New York, NY on 10/31/2007
Cons:
Bad in wind, Breaks/Tears Easily, Poorly Constructed
Describe Yourself:
Practical
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Easily the most poorly made umbrella I've had. In the 15 minutes it takes to walk from my office to the train station, this umbrella blew inside out 4 times in a light breeze & rain. The fourth time, it fell apart. The umbrella canopy was floppy, not rigid, and deformed shape into unuseability even when not turning inside out. The entire construction seemed flimsy...lots of rattling and movement where there shouldn't be any. Definitely look elsewhere for an umbrella.
Good points: yeah, it's big.

I was using it in a mild wind and of course it knocks it around a little but, then I heard a snap in the base open/ close mechanism; soon after the connecting stem snaped too.
