The design has received more than 81,000 reviews to date, with many customers impressed by the level of protection the umbrella provides, especially in harsh weather conditions, reports The mirror.

Another customer said: “One of the standout features of this umbrella is the windproof design. The sturdy construction prevents it from flipping inside out during strong wind gusts, which I tested in several stormy conditions. I was impressed that the umbrella remained intact and functional, even in bad weather.”

It’s a whole well made umbrella that looks good, provides good coverage and stays in place. I had mine for two years before I started having some wear issues. I contacted customer service and they couldn’t have been nicer and more helpful. They offered to send me a replacement and I received it shortly after.
“I was very happy with my replacement, but on an extremely windy day the umbrella turned inside out and two of the ribs bent. I contacted customer service and again they responded right away to apologize and offer a replacement. Really excellent customer service and the umbrella is worth every penny.”
