Blunt Classic, Charcoal, One Size

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?

Love it

Probably the sturdiest umbrella you will ever find. Super high quality. But GOD is it expensive. And heavy, which makes it awkward to tote around. But Ive bought two, so I guess that says it all!

Best umbrella I have ever had. If I had purchased this one first, I could have saved a couple of hundred dollars on crappy umbrellas.

Wonderful

This umbrella is incredibly sturdy. This is probably the best umbrella Ive ever wielded, and its look reflects this. It is large when folded up because it doesnt telescope, but who cares? The only reason I would want a folding umbrella would be to put in a bag, but I wouldnt bring an umbrella if I didnt need it, and I wouldnt stick a wet umbrella in a bag, so you might as well carry a larger umbrella that you can share, thatll actually keep you dry, and wont break on you after two uses.

I bought a Blunt umbrella for my wife a year or so back, and it is far and away the best umbrella she (and I) have ever used. Worth every penny! I mean it . . .

Looks nice but the locking mechanism is poorly designed. It constantly colapses on my head as I’m walking.

Large, robust, strong. Takes the Israeli weather easily. I bought it for short period of stormbwe have in the winter. So far it takes the weather easily.

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.
