That doesn’t turn inside out in the rain?!

Please!

Kenji, about 5 or 6 quid. Quite slim but decent weight material so not at all flimsy.

fedup21 · 02/11/2019 13:49

Ooh, thank you-I will look!

Mine is from M&S and is decent quality for its size and price.

I love my Cath Kidston one, had it a few years now. It's blown inside out a few times when the wind has been really strong but has never failed to be blown back into shape if you know what I mean.

Where do they sell them? I can only find a trade site

The other end of the price spectrum is Blunt Umbrellas, which have a five year guarantee. You just have to not lose it!

I like a Fulton, I've had my current one about 5 years, having lost the previous one after about 7 years reliable service.

Radley ones are surprisingly sturdy if you don't mind the dog logo.I
Or Fulton.

I had a radley one that lasted me years (I lost it, but it was still going strong at the time). I have a fulton one now which I don't like as it's too compact, but it does withstand the wind well.

I will have a look at some of those-thank you!

Apologies, I'm in NW, we have a few Kenji stores here and I just assumed they were nationwide!

fedup21 · 03/11/2019 13:54

Ahh-I had never heard of them!

I had a radley one too, long time ago, but yes it's the brolly that's lasted the longest for me like pp.
