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

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.

Very substantial umbrella which I hope to have forever. Love the yellow and black colour way .. I am so tired of umbrellas turning inside out and spokes breaking. This is a very robust umbrella and although it states XS it is a very good size and a great purchase.

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!

A very style conscious umbrella. I had to return it though, as I live on a seafront and really need the strongest, stormproof umbrella there is! Anything else and over the years I've learnt to my cost, there is no point! I bought this umbrella as the seller had listed it as 'stormproof' but after I ordered it I went on the Blunt website and saw that this particular make isn't their stormproof version, (that's another one). This is however, sturdier than your normal everyday umbrella and definitely a cut above most. I knew however from the moment I opened it, that it would not suffice for my area, mainly from the feel but also how the spokes were attached to the fabric - I know I need sewn seams along the spokes and these were attached by quite flimsy looking pieces of cotton thread. I liked the design and the colour and especially the fact that the ends of the spokes are covered and incorporated into the 'canopy'. Nice and neat - and much safer for crowded areas - It is good for its target audience - It's in the name - Metro. Not for gale swept seafront roads. The packaging it comes in (tube) is also very stylish but I can't help feeling that all those design details have added to the rather high-price and not necessarily the practical function. A lovely 'lifestyle object' and definitely for style conscious urban dwellers who have to carry one of those clumsy objects called umbrellas!

It looks nice but I found it’s just a bit goo small to really use on a longer walk. It’s not designed to fully cover you. I used it on a rainy day with light to medium wind and found it constantly bending inside out making it no good for windy days. If you only have to walk from the house or work to car a short distance with no wind than it’s ok. Otherwise move to the next step up.

My first ever brolly,looks fab and feels and looks to be of very high quality Perfect size canopy not to big not to small and covered arms means no poking people in the eye lol Very pleased 5 Stars

Well made , nice design but will flip ( without damage ) in winds over 25 mph , definetly for one person only , otherwise quality product just the high MPH of testing does not stand up to real wind speeds .

An extremely sturdy and reliable umbrella. It was an extremely wet Scottish September and it stood up to the test.

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.

Quality! Love the color too.

Solide, résistant au vent, parfaitement imperméable. Et élégant. Un must. Très rapport qualité-prix

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.
