I fold, as in, “I give up.” I’ve owned my share of “wind-resistant” folding umbrellas and none of them lived up to the claim. Even GustBuster makes a folding umbrella but I was drawn to this one’s classic beauty.
It’s not so bulky that you can’t take it everywhere and the canopy is the perfect size for him or her, or in a pinch, him AND her. The real wood crook-shaped handle gives it a touch of class. The opening mechanism relies on the proven coil-spring system, but that’s where the similarity to other solid-shaft automatics ends.
Fiberglas takes the place of metal in the parts that might attract lightning, making the GustBuster light for its size but just as sturdy. Unzip the two Velcro straps, push the button and two canopies pop open to shield you from the rain. The raindrop-shaped openings allow the wind to pass between the canopies. Then aerodynamics take over, forcing the canopies to retain their shape instead of turning inside out. Elastic straps hold down the upper canopy, eliminating a gap where the rain might sneak in. A video of GustBuster’s wind-cannon testing confirms their claims. You can see it at GustBuster’s website (just tack on the “.com”). Combine this high level of engineering and thoughtful design with GustBuster’s affordable pricing on all their umbrellas and it adds up to possibly the best umbrella value.
My commute to work involves what can be described only as a walk through a wind tunnel. The trash barrel near my office always has at least one umbrella in it, and my sturdy Totes 34″ umbrella was blown inside out by the wind here.
I am pleased to say the GustBuster has worked perfectly and I am very pleased with my purchase. I would say I would buy another one, but I don’t foresee this umbrella ever failing. This is an excellent umbrella.
The umbrella works fine, however what does not show in the picture is that there’s a very ugly Gustbuster logo that is embroidered on one of the umbrella straps that is “multicolored and quite bright.” It makes an otherwise classic looking umbrella look cheap and tacky.
