Please can you link me your best umbrella? I’m after one that will not be swept away by strong wind, something sturdy that and fairly large to cover me properly when there is heavy rain. I’m willing to invest in a really good one that will last x

Uniqlo umbrellas are great.

IloveJudgeJudy · 08/08/2021 20:58

I think you just need one that has a good curve on it, like a Slazenger golfing umbrella

I like Plemo automatic umbrellas from Amazon and have several in different colours and patterns. They've rarely let me down. I've also recently bought a Wilford & Sons automatic umbrella again from Amazon which had good reviews - I needed a plain black one and Plemo's were out of stock. 🌹

My Collar and Cuffs umbrella is wind proof and doubles as a walking cane.

I've got a Fulton. They are good. They have them in JL.

I say got, a kind barperson gave it to me, as it was left by a previous customer, at the end of a singles night and I had to walk to the train station in the rain.😂

I've got a Fulton Stormshield and it's really good.

One of these uk.buymeonce.com/collections/umbrellas
This whole site is based on things that are designed to last (hence only needing to buy them once) and the umbrellas have free repairs if they do break

@peridito

no not at all ..they are wider than me so I kind of have all over coverage!
Leftbutcameback · 09/08/2021 16:22

I recommend Fulton ones too. I’ve only had to replace when I’ve lost one!
