Customer Reviews

Best thing you can buy
This is the second Gustbuster Umbrella I buy from Amazon. I bough the Pro Series 2 for myself, and this for a friend of mine. This is a smaller umbrella, and can be folded to be put in your bag or case. The build quality is superb, looks and feels very sturdy, and can take anything. As with the pro series, you can tell that a lot of effort has been put into the design and making of this umbrella, and it definitely stands out from the crowd, it is like nothing I have seen before. It looks very elegant and pretty as well, and certainly an eye catcher. Have tried it, and for the first time, I find an umbrella that actually does the job. Two people can easily fit under this, and still manage to escape from the rain. For the price, this is a real bargain, you will get what you paid for and more, and this will last for ever if taken good care of. Highly recommended, great quality, great shape, excellent for the rainy British weather, superb wind resistance, a real must buy.

Item works but broke after 2 uses!
I thought this was a great item and it actually does work, however I only used it twice and one of the spokes broke (not used in windy conditions either). I would have given great feedback, had the item not broken. Also, I would be careful about buying from Amazon as I was a few days out of their 30 day returns policy and was told I could not return it to them, even though it was damaged! I wasn't aware that this was the case with damaged items and they didn't even waiver this a few days over that 30 day policy. I would perhaps try another supplier.

Tiring handle.
Took delivery just today on a wet and blustery morning.
Apart from the clever design this is a very well made article.
It's also noticeably heavier than the normal cheap compact brolly you see displayed beside gents belts and ties in a high-street department store.

The one single problem is the abominably short handle. As a previous reviewer has already mentioned it really is quite cheaply made. I could live with that if it was only 3 inches longer. As I've already ready mentioned this umbrella is heavier than the ordinary run of telescopic brolly. A longer handle would make it much more comfortable to use.

Still it's a fine product and worth the money, but could definitely be improved.
