Blunt Metro Travel Umbrella 38” – Waterproof & Wind Resistant Radial Tensioning System – Strong & Compact & Light – Built to Last – Easy to Use [Perfect for Travel] (Black)

A wonderful purchase. Very sturdy, well-made and perfect for carrying along in case of rain. And it looks fantastic!

I’ve had so many umbrellas over the years, all of which have broken fairly quickly. Not this one. It can really withstand the wind. It’s expensive but cheaper than buying a lots of cheap ones. An umbrella to last a lifetime, unless you leave it on the train.

デザインと耐強風性に惹かれて勢いで買いましたが、やはり大きくて重かったですね。リュックのサイドポケットに差し込むとかなり飛び出して見えます。 ワンタッチで開きますがたたむときは手動。手動なのはいいんですが、傘の端が手元にかぶってくるのでたたみにくいです。たたんだときのカチッという感触が頼りないせいで、たたんだつもりがまた開いたということが割と頻繁に起こります。雨の雫が付着した傘を直接つかんで畳む方が確実なので手のひらがびしょ濡れ。専用の袋がついてきますがぎちぎちで入れにくいですね。 小さいビニール袋を折り畳み仕様にした感じの大きさで携帯に難あり。小さい折り畳み傘と比べて飛躍的に雨をしのげる大きさでもない。折り畳み傘というのは突然雨が降ってきたときの緊急用に持ち運びますよね。そういうニーズには合わない傘でした。ちなみに耐強風性は確かに感じられます。

Unfortunately, this umbrella did not live up to its standards. Opened it on a very windy day, and the shaft just bent immediately. The umbrella panel is nicely designed, but the ribs, shaft and handle are very flimsy and of low quality. Absolute waste of money.

I love, love, love, my blunt umbrellas. This is my smallest one and is perfect for travel. I stuff it in my carry on for my travels and it doesnt take up too much space. I wouldnt use this for extended walks in the rain as it leaves your legs exposed, especially if its coming down sideways. For shorter jaunts, though, its perfect. The material is super high quality and durable, and it has withstood serious beatings both from wind, rain, and debris. I would argue that the umbrella is not quite windproof as a 30-40mph gusts caused it to bend and invert, but otherwise its super solidly built, and is definitely my best portable umbrella. I wish it could collapse even smaller to fit in briefcases, etc, but then it would compromise some of the awesome structural integrity that it has.

The patchs at the rounded corners are good quality. The extra support legs helped add to high wind resistance. However, the handle and telescopic stem feel no different from that of a normal $5 umbrella; too much lateral play between stem columns and handle is not solid not long enough to hold steadily during a storm.

Have not yet used this in the rain but I researched umbrellas prior to purchase. It seems well made and the open/close mechanism appears to work well. I cant give it 5 stars because I havent had it out in rainy weather yet!

This is a very large, nice umbrella that folds up compactly. It wont fit in my car glove box but will fit in the side panel pocket since traveling is what I will be using this for the most. It does repel water great and can also shade you from the sun as well. This will also come in handy if I want to stay dry when dealing with my poultry pets on an extremely rainy day.

Great size and color exactly what I was looking for

Probably the nicest umbrella I will ever own.
