Bought this to replace a London Fog I've been using for over twelve years. It's a nice design and compact umbrella that seems to be well made. I haven't had a good chance to test the wind vents yet but in Boston it's only a matter of time.
Thus far my only complaint is the wooden handle; I would rather it have been plastic. The paint on the handle started chipping off after the first use. I can see it'll only be a matter of time before I have to use a Sharpie on it.
GustBuster 's Metro umbrella is the choice for people on-the-go. The Metro 's sheath doubles as a backpack or sling it over your shoulder. It 's strong too. After all, it is a GustBuster. Features include: Automatic open to 43 canopy - Pinchless open & close release system - Award winning double-canopy design - Patented temper-hardened steel joint connectors - Hardened steel, hexagonal ribs and reinforced shaft prevent crimping and snapping - Sheath doubles for backpack or over-the-shoulder carrying - Take along in briefcase or purse - Sure grip comfort handle - Wind-tested by College of Aeronautics to 55+ mph - Custom Imprinting and corporate logoing available - sleek carry case
