Mens Umbrella GustBuster Classic 48-Inch Automatic Golf Umbrella
<---Short Test Video of Metro 43 Inch, not the larger 48 Inch Classic.
The GustBuster 48 Inch classic stick style umbrella is probably the last umbrella you may need to buy. Granted you take good care of it and do not leave it on a bus or train.
The umbrella (automatic version) is easy to open, is light weight, and above all lives up to its "gust-busting" claims of very high winds.
Although I do wish it was just a wee bit larger, perhaps 52 inches, it is still large enough to shield most of your upper body in moderate downpours with light winds without having to play umbrella chicken with other folks passing by.
It is a nice one person umbrella...but not for two.
However, for a taller man, the lower legs may still catch some of the rain run off. But not too bad.
While I found the quality of the fabric just average, the handle, stick, and ribs of the product feel strong and stable; ready to tackle high winds. Each outer spoke attaches the upper canopy using elastic bands. The lower canopy seems to be more rigid and attached to the main frame.
When the wind does get under it, both canopies separate allowing the wind to just flow through the large holes, all while keeping you dry. The elastics let the upper canopy stretch upwards which seems to work the magic preventing the umbrella to invert.
The reason I am writing this review is because it passed its real test just yesterday when here on Staten Island, New York, we had heavy rain with wind gusts of up to 50 MPH. (the GustBuster claims it handles 55+ winds).
I figured this was a good opportunity to give it a try.
In between the Supreme Court building and 130 Stuyvesant Pl is like a wind tunnel on days like this.Read more
