Blunt Classic, Charcoal, One Size

The best umbrella Ive ever used. Very solid and safe design. No sharp edges outboard. The build quality of the struts is top-notch! This umbrella will last for years. We bought two...blue and green, just to have a choice to complement our daily fashion HA!

Great umbrella.

Its an umbrella and a pretty good one the price definitely makes it harder to lose and its nice and sturdy

Listening to rain on this umbrella is a pleasure (if you are underneath it, that is)! The tension of the material is very tight (a good thing), and the build quality is excellent

I bought two of these umbrellas--I liked the different colors, wanted a backup, and thought the umbrellas would last a lifetime. The second umbrella that I bought broke after only two uses. The third time I tried to use it, in a downpour, it failed to fully open. It no longer latches at the top when I try to open it. I cannot see any difference between this newer umbrella and the one I purchased previously. I did not mistreat the umbrella and had barely used it prior to its failure to open. Prior to this I only purchased inexpensive, compact umbrellas. I have had rare failures with these umbrellas and only after years of repeated use. I purchased the Blunt band because I wanted an umbrella that wouldnt turn inside out in the wind and I also wanted a larger size than a compact umbrella provides. It does appear to be well built but after only two uses is inoperable. I am very disappointed and cannot recommend this umbrella.

I have now used the umbrella in a strong rain with wind and while other umbrellas probably inverted, this one did not. It also looks good.

so far so good

A very well designed umbrella. Ive been looking for an umbrella for some time that has plastic coated support ends because the round beaded metal ends mark up automobile roof and door paint when getting in and out of your car. The BLUNT umbrella has ends that are, well, blunt—there are no protruding metal or plastic ends because there are no support ends. This umbrella also has the fastest drying material Ive ever seen. I got out of my car the other day, opened this umbrella, hit it with my blower for a minute and it was dry enough to put away in my car. Ive also left it to dry by itself and I would estimate it was fully dry in less than 10 minutes—astounding. The only feature Id like is push-button opening, however, with an umbrella of this size, I guess that would require a very heavy spring.

Pros: Authentic Blunt, excellent materials, durable construction, lightweight, good size. Love that they kept the factory packaging. Cons: This is more of a quibble. The strap used to keep it closed is sewn right onto the canopy without any backing or reinforcement from the inside. To me, that seems quite the oversight as that seam will see a lot of stress over the life of the umbrella.

I could not open and close this umbrella at all. Im not that strong and I never managed to open it. I ultimately gave it to my daughter.
