GustBuster Metro 43-Inch Automatic Umbrella (Black) Aug 19, 2008
Nicely constructed umbrella, but I thought that it was going to be a little bigger. Good to fit one person and one person only. The handle is rather short and would be better if it had a J-handle.

Great in the Windy City Jul 25, 2008
Finally, a great umbrella that does not flip inside out even on a very blustery rainy day in Chicago. Much sturdier than the Totes version. Especially appreciated durability when pushing a loaded down stroller with one hand and trying to not get soaked in a down pour. Rain coats and ponchos are just too sweaty in the summer months.

smelled so bad it could not be kept in the apartment and had to be tossed immediately.

Gustbuster doesn't hold up Jun 25, 2008
After six years of owning a Windbrella, it finally broke when I was hit by a car in Chicago. I read the reviews for the Gustbuster and decided to change brands. Big mistake! I purchased three umbrellas: one for myself and one for each of my children. The first time I used my Gustbuster it broke. Because is was during the holiday season, I returned it to Amazon and it was promptly replaced. Within the first week of using the newer version, it broke at one of the spokes. I contacted Gustbuster, and they agreed to promptly replace it, for a $10 shipping and handling charge! Both of my children's umbrellas have also broken. I will be replacing my Gustbuster with a Windbrella!

Good quality umbrella Jun 14, 2008
I bought this umbrella because I walk to work everyday and was getting wet with my old umbrella. This one is great - I stay dry and it doesn't blow inside out. The only reason it didn't get 5 starts is that it is a little too big and heavy for me to carry every day, so I only use it on days when it is raining and still carry my old umbrella daily for unexpected weather. The umbrella is a little expensive, but I think it is pretty sturdy and so far holding up very well. I also like it because it is not huge like a golf umbrella - it is just big enough for one person, so if you are looking for a really big umbrella, this isn't the right one. But I would recommend it for anyone looking for a good quality umbrella.
