Best brands for different uses
Crowd favorite: Blunt
With so many fans from different regions, Blunt umbrellas come in different size variations with each as sturdy as can be. They just seem to be the crowd’s favorite.
This umbrella from Blunt turns inside and flips back in the right way easily without breaking, caused by its unique edges’ design. Although not exactly ideal for strong winds, Blunt serves its purpose to keep you protected from the rays of the sun or from the pouring rain.
Best for use in stormy weather: Senz° umbrella
People may find Senz°and its shape a genius innovation while some others may find it a bit odd. You must be warned, though, people might ask you what’s wrong with your umbrella because of its unusual shape.
It is also with its unique shape that a Senz° umbrella literally floats on the wind, making it easy to hold them with one hand even with a bad storm in place. Each umbrella holds iconic stormproof performance with all the necessary functional details to make it durable and stylish.
Best for use in the rain: GustBuster
Umbrellas from GustBuster are created with patented wind-release technology that allows the wind to pass through the upper canopy while keeping every drop of the rain off you.

Best for use in the wind: Fulton
Fulton umbrellas are proven to be indestructible in windy areas such as the North West of England, the location of the largest offshore wind farm in the world. If that isn’t windy enough, we don’t really know what is.
A piece of advice when it gets too windy: put the umbrella down—not because it’s going to break—but because it will get hard to hold it without being blown down the street out of control.
Best for sun-protection: San Francisco Umbrella Company
The personal-sized umbrellas from San Francisco Umbrella Company are 10 inches shorter than a standard stick umbrella and the canopy is 7 inches smaller in diameter. This makes them more portable and lightweight.
