48 "Umbrella - Reviewed on 2009-06-28

great umbrella - Reviewed on 2009-06-13

Great umbrella, preforms as advertised. My only concern is that the 48 might be a bit too large for city use. I live and work in Manhattan, so i got tired of playing umbrella chicken on narrow sidewalks and decided to get a smaller umbrella. The umbrella is slightly too big for one person, but too small for two people. I was thinking about getting the 43, but i think that was too small. By the way, the 48 is the measure of the arch, not the diameter of the umbrella, once opened. Anyway, i am happy!
A quality and sturdy umbrella - Reviewed on 2009-05-21

My first one was defective in that it wouldn't stay in the upright position because of a weak spring but the replacement one works great! Its about 3 feet long folded up and for that size I wish it was a bit bigger than 48in but oh well. A high quality piece that I keep in my trunk and know I can depend on.
Good umbrella but not large enough - Reviewed on 2009-04-29

I have not had any really fierce winds to try out my new GustBuster. It worked well in mild winds. My problem with the 48-inch model is that it's not large enough to keep my legs dry even with slight winds. I should have bought the larger model.

The wood handle looks nice at first but it's already showing signs of wear. The umbrella's automatic opening feature works, but not perfectly. It usually pops up another notch a few minutes after the first opening.
very disappointed - Reviewed on 2009-04-22

Three broken struts in a couple of years. I fixed the first couple with pliars and a piece of a paper clip. Then it went into the trash. The design is great...makes a lot of sense, but the quality of the materials they use are the weak link. They sell these because the design really makes sense, but I was extremely disappointed with the longevity of it, especially considering the price.
