Senz brollys are really good for windy conditions, i have two that are about 7 years old and still going strong.

I’ve had mine for over 10 years and it’s still going strong. It’s from Cath Kidston, of all places!

I have several of the type that don't collapse down small that have lasted years, I think one is 14 years old and gets regular use! Unfortunately only good if you're setting out knowing it's raining, no good for just sticking and keeping in your handbag and a bit of a pain for going in and out of shops etc.

Or Senz (I've had my one for years and walk for several hours outside every week).

I’m sure they’ve got worse. I used to lose umbrellas, now they break within a fortnight.

None of them, buy them from the pound shop and when they break just get another one.

You need a full length one, rather than a telescopic one. Telescopic ones never last.

I love this inside out ones from eBay/amazon. They hold up well and the added bonus of the wet bit being on the since when you put it down. I've come vetted loads of people!! Haven't tried the mini handbag sized ones, but the full size ones are fab and worth the inconvenience of having to carry a full sized brolly around

I have one that was a gift, I think it comes from the shop Tiger (Flying Tiger) but it's not a cheap one. It has a proper handle and a button to "activate" it.
