Excellent product,
Great internet find. I Googled “durable umbrellas” and found YouTube videos of this product in action. The goal was to purchase one strong umbrella that would last, instead of buying multiple cheap fragile umbrellas and wasting money.
I’ve had it for two years, and I’m 100% satisfied.

It won’t stay closed: impractical in almost every way,
 Â
In everyday use, there’s a pretty major issue: it won’t stay closed.
When you fold it and hold it upright like you would any umbrella when you get indoors, it just falls open, getting your pants went and making you (and others) trip on it.
You can try to hold it shut, but the sticks are all different lengths, you need to individually grab each one, and you won’t have any spare hands to open the door or get your keys. You can try to wrap it up, using not one, but TWO straps, which will get your hands all wet. And it’s annoying as hell to have to do all the time.
It also won’t stay closed when you prop it up against a wall, it will just fall all over the floor and make everything wet.
As if that were’t enough, the shape is odd: it makes it hard to cover yourself completely. I’ve tried. It is always too narrow in one direction.
To be fair, It is solidly built and can hold its own in strong wind. The handle smells slightly but is comfortable to hold. Watch out though, because it’s made of two parts that join as you open the umbrella, and it’s quite easy to pinch yourself.
To sum up: bad design. Looks good on paper, terrible in actual use.

Good for what it claims,
 Â
Had one for 2 years, then lost it. Workmanship is excellent and does stand up to the wind. The medium canopy size won’t keep you dry in heavy rain with wind, at least below the waist, or for long periods of time. Balance is quite good. A bit hard to hold onto in a strong wind, but will not turn inside out.
This is not a collapsing umbrella, neither is it walking stick length. Opening and closing is quite easy. This is a one person umbrella, Senz does a make a larger version if you want one for you and your sweetie.
This is a high quality product, and does what Senz claims for it, so I give it 5 stars.

Lives up to its name,
My commute to work involves what can be described only as a walk through a wind tunnel. The trash barrel near my office always has at least one umbrella in it, and my sturdy Totes 34″ umbrella was blown inside out by the wind here.
I am pleased to say the GustBuster has worked perfectly and I am very pleased with my purchase. I would say I would buy another one, but I don’t foresee this umbrella ever failing. This is an excellent umbrella.

Classic beauty goes high-tech,
 Â
I fold, as in, “I give up.” I’ve owned my share of “wind-resistant” folding umbrellas and none of them lived up to the claim. Even GustBuster makes a folding umbrella but I was drawn to this one’s classic beauty.
It’s not so bulky that you can’t take it everywhere and the canopy is the perfect size for him or her, or in a pinch, him AND her. The real wood crook-shaped handle gives it a touch of class. The opening mechanism relies on the proven coil-spring system, but that’s where the similarity to other solid-shaft automatics ends.
Fiberglas takes the place of metal in the parts that might attract lightning, making the GustBuster light for its size but just as sturdy. Unzip the two Velcro straps, push the button and two canopies pop open to shield you from the rain. The raindrop-shaped openings allow the wind to pass between the canopies. Then aerodynamics take over, forcing the canopies to retain their shape instead of turning inside out. Elastic straps hold down the upper canopy, eliminating a gap where the rain might sneak in. A video of GustBuster’s wind-cannon testing confirms their claims. You can see it at GustBuster’s website (just tack on the “.com”). Combine this high level of engineering and thoughtful design with GustBuster’s affordable pricing on all their umbrellas and it adds up to possibly the best umbrella value.

Ugly bright colored logo ruins a classic looking umbrella,
 Â
The umbrella works fine, however what does not show in the picture is that there’s a very ugly Gustbuster logo that is embroidered on one of the umbrella straps that is “multicolored and quite bright.” It makes an otherwise classic looking umbrella look cheap and tacky.
