I own 2 of these umbrellas and they have worked ...brilliantly in the past, lasting for a good long while until one of the spokes broke in one of them. So I bought this on eBay as it was cheaper than the usual retail price. Perhaps this particular one was faulty as the catch at the top of the shaft (either a problem with the runner or top spring part) kept giving way and the umbrella would collapse onto itself whenever the wind picked up. Disappointed with quality control. Otherwise, I find that the relatively small diameter of this make of umbrella makes it easier to control in strong wind. If mine wasn't faulty I'd give it 5 stars.

It's small (fits... in a mans pocket) light reasonably robust. I've had one for 5 years and have recently got 2 more to keep in the cars.

It's very difficult to close down after use. Would be better wi...th an auto up and down. Haven't yet been able to test it in very rainy and windy conditions.
