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

Great umbrella. Very sturdy

Not worth the money at all. Still flip in the wind and hard to close

I like to keep an umbrella in my car for just in case. This packs up nice and small (even if it is a bit of a chore to get it back in its cover / case. Opens smooth and easy, and closes just the same. I like the mechanism in the canopy, it looks very strong, though I havent yet had a chance to test it on a windy day. The non-traditional umbrella shape is a real eye-catcher, too. Nobody looks at a regular umbrella. But the shape of this really stands out. Perfect for travel or to keep in the car, I dont think it gets much better in terms of umbrellas.

While this umbrella has many fine features, I’ve found that it hasn’t supplanted my Repel Easy Touch for daily carry in my backpack since it doesn’t keep me as dry on days that are both windy and damp. The Blunt Metro is robust enough to handle winds in excess of what it is sensible to be out in, but the relatively shallow canopy and scalloped edge leave the user vulnerable to driving rain. The fabric itself sheds rain well and dries quickly, and the yellow color is cheery. The handle is easy to grip even in wet and windy conditions, and the mechanism functions smoothly. The ribs are sturdy, and the rounded, reinforced pockets at the edges eliminate the risk of poking someone in the eye. Wrangling a wet umbrella into the cover is a snap thanks to the zippered gusset.

It doesn’t hold, I have to hold it in a very weird uncomfortable way to avoid it falling on my head

Ive taken a while to review this because its just an umbrella, and I thought the design was weird. But... it turns out this is a really good, durable, effective umbrella, and it tends to be the one we grab.

It’s high quality, strong, beautiful, unique!

I was so excited to finally buy an umbrella that would last, and could be repaired, after seeing thousands of broken umbrellas left on the street, in my city. The umbrella that arrived (new in package) was completely defective. It collapses on itself while open. The company has agreed to repair it, but wants me to cover the cost of shipping. Like, I’ve given y’all $100 for a defective umbrella already. My $15 grocery store umbrella is still going strong after 4 years, so why would I spend more on this umbrella... Terrible service.

Probably the nicest umbrella I will ever own.

This is the second Blunt Metro Travel Umbrella 38” that I own. I got the first one in 2019 I got a second one 4 years later simply because I LOVE the first one so much. I fear one day, I will leave it behind somewhere and cant stand the thought of going without while I re-order. They are lightweight, sturdy and obviously durable!
