Umbrella - folding, strong and lightweight?

[RatCamHeyHey]

Is there such a thing as an umbrella that folds up small, is lightweight but is also strong enough not to go inside-out in a gust of wind? Wanted as a Christmas gift for DD who is at uni in a famously rainy city and walks a lot...

I think it mainly depends how your DD treats them. I have one from my school days - going on 40 years! - but I am a careful caterpillar. It's a totes brand, if that helps, and probably the bulkiest of them. I also have a navy with pale blue pindots one from M&S which I borrowed from my SIL 15+ yrs ago and a navy one with a sheath my MIL gave me 20+ yrs ago.

The repel umbrellas on amazon are very good. I walk to and from work and they are great. Not heavy

Great, thank you, I'll check them out

My running theory is, there are no good umbrellas anymore. I've given up.
