Blunt Classic, Charcoal, One Size

nice

This is a nice umbrella. It is clear some work went into the design, and I was drawn in by the claims of meticulous engineering and I dont doubt that the shape and structure are well thought out for an umbrella. But this design is betrayed by poor use of material. The struts (I think correct term is ribs based on some googling) are made of a stiff plastic, which gave me pause when I first opened it. It worked very well for the first few rains. However, recently I opened it to see the plastic hinges near the top of the umbrella ribs had snapped. Considering it just leaned against the wall when it wasnt in use, this was strange. Given the price of this umbrella I am very disappointed in the material quality despite seemingly good design. I really doubt this is a fluke in my umbrella, and I think I will buy umbrellas that do not make load bearing components out of plastic. Maybe Blunt has a line with metal construction?

It is large, sturdy, handles both rain and wind well, and looks nice, too. What more is there to say?

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.

Wonderful

I cannot believe how great this umbrella is. The first time I used it, I watched as the person in front of me had their umbrella turn inside out from the wind while I had no problems at all.

Nice size, well made, replaces one I lost...

A durable and well made product, I ordered a 2nd one for my wife.

Larger than what I expected but still love it!

This is my second blunt umbrella— my first was stolen. I highly recommend it for bad mid-western rain storms. Plus the strap makes it awfully convenient to carry in a city.
