Blunt Metro Travel Umbrella – 100cm 39'' Compact Windproof & Waterproof Umbrella, Lightweight & Durable, Perfect for Travel and Daily Use, Built to Last with Radial Tensioning System, 21 Color Options

This is a fantastically made umbrella, as you'd expect at this price, and the colour is as vibrant as the picture displays. Solid structure (as far as collapsible umbrellas go, there has to be a compromise compared to a normal umbrella), easy open and close in cold weather with no risk of hurting your fingers, and certainly keeps the rain off. It's downfalls are it's canopy size (not a hidden feature), which for the average male would be pushing too small, but for my girlfriend is fine. It also packs down to be fairly large, which wouldn't fit in small handbags, however you can measure that for yourself! I'd say without a doubt purchase if it were £30 or so, and a good purchase at this price.

Super Quality, I Feel premium just using this and i love the way the button just extends it automatically it kind of gives you an elevated status when using it especially when wearing your suit! I was hesitating whether to buy this or not but i am glad i did in the end as it is amazing! Shame it snot smaller as it is a lot larger than i originally thought but its still superb quality and a pleasure to use!

Superb umbrella. Cannot rate this highly enough. Had a black one previously, (where I reviewed, warning not to leave on a train), unfortunately, that one did get lost, so bought the 'brighter' version to alleviate the 'oh I misplaced it' scenario occurring again. This is a great brolly, where you see people in the street with their own inside out and collapsing, this one copes with anything you can throw at it. The 1 touch button activation is handy too, you don't need two hands to open it. There is a newer version being flaunted on the market, which has a tracking tile, so it can be tracked if you lose it by smartphone. That may be US only just now, so don't blame me if you cannot find it.

Bought this after getting 2 large ones. I thought it would have the same robust construction but it does flip easier in wind when compared to the large versions. Neverthelss it hasn't broken down yet. Still is better than the competition

If you want a dry head, this is perfect for you! If you want to keep other parts of your body dry, get something bigger! This is a very small umbrella and does not have an auto close button, but the construction looks and feel pretty solid.

Just superb! It’s such fun walking down a road in the pouring rain with this umbrella when it’s windy. Unlike everyone else’s, it’ll be working well keeping you dry. You’ll get stares of disbelief as other soggy people walk past with umbrellas which have turned inside out or been blown to bits.

Been out in the weather with this today and it's superb, the underlying mechanism looks and feels worlds apart from all other brollies I've owned. Sure it's expensive but you won't have to buy another one after each storm, which is the false economy with "Ordinary" umbrellas.

Had one of these when living in NZ where they were designed. Really strong, has rounded points (which is where the name Blunt comes from), is wind resistant & flips right back without bending the spokes if it does blow inside out. Fabulous product!

I got this umbrella in the dark gray and found it to be really sleek and sturdy, so I'd definitely recommend. It's small enough to fit in your bag and comes with a nice sleeve to carry it with. Note that it's not huge and is probably more designed for one person, but you can fit two people reasonably. Note also that the button on the handle opens the umbrella but does not close it; you'll have to press the button toward the top of the umbrella (but under the covering) and pull it in, but this isn't a big deal and works just fine. I see that other people have noted issues about the quality and about the umbrella holding up in severe storms. I've used this umbrella in average, everyday rain storms with some fairly strong wind (I live in New England, and it does get pretty windy downtown during storms) and it's held up fine, but I haven't tested it in a super severe wind storm. I will say though that if it is extremely windy, I would probably expect most umbrellas to struggle except for those that are designed in the extreme to be super wind-proof, and those often come with their own concessions (mostly in terms of appearance). Yes you're paying more here, but admittedly I think a lot of that goes toward the sleek design and the quality materials. I'd say buy this umbrella if you want a sleek, attractive, somewhat fashion-forward umbrella that you'll be happy to pull out in front of your friends and colleagues on a day-to-day basis and that will withstand fairly strong winds, and then have a less attractive but super windproof umbrella in your closet for those really bad days.

Non ho ancora avuto modo di provare l'ombrello. L'ordine è stato evaso con un po' di giorni di ritardo ma è arrivato regolarmente. Sull'oggetto in questione debbo dire che dopo aver seguito mille recensioni e video sulla rete mi ero fatto un'idea troppo alta e dal momento che l'ho avuto tra le mani ho dovuto ridimensionare il mio entusiasmo. L'ombrello appare sicuramente poderoso e ben strutturato. Come detto da altri utenti l'apertura della tela risulta di un diametro che credo non possa accontentare tanti di voi ma per ripararsi dalla pioggia per me può bastare. Magari tenendolo quasi attaccato al capo si può certamente raggiungere il massimo profitto. Mi ha deluso la potenza della molla di apertura. Mi sembra un po' deboluccia ma forse sono fatti così per evitare di far saltare il congegno dopo largo uso. L'apertura in molti casi va accompagnata o portata a compimento con il gesto della mano. Sulla sua presentazione generale ha avuto apprezzamenti da parte di amici che anche al tatto hanno avvertito la buona qualità dei materiali. E poi con il suo tubo nero, il celofan interno e ancora la sua fodera di protezione sembra di scartare qualcosa di davvero prezioso.

Super parapluie. Joli design. Très bien présenté avec housse + boite. Semble bien résistant. De bonne facture. A voir à l'usage... Seul petit bémol : sa taille. Il est un peu plus encombrant. Je recommande.

This was purchased as a gift and the recipient has reported that they are extremely happy to have a strong reliable umbrella.

After an immediate failure of a PLEMO umbrella, I took a chance on the extra cost and ordered this one in November, 2014. It has worked dependably in rain and wind ever since. I especially like its compactness; I can even stuff it into a rucksack. The handle is short, as some reviewers complained about; however, I adapted to carrying it by the handle braced near my collarbone and the shaft touching the side of my head. That works for me. Eliminating the "pointyness" of the supports and tip is an example of excellent design. UPDATE June 13, 2020. I am seeing many negative reviews but 5 years after my purchase it's still five stars. I agree that in a heavy downpour with any wind your legs won't be protected but if you need complete protection then you simply need a larger dome. I still use it in rainy western Oregon and it shields my head and upper body. Its compactness, durability, and blunt tips are what I value.
