> 24 hourThis is seriously the best umbrella I have ever owned! It’s so strong, sturdy, and folds up easily. It’s clearly amazing quality and works so well in the rain! It’s not incredibly large though so it’s definitely a single person umbrella. Highly recommend this umbrella. It’s amazing

> 24 hourHave not yet used this in the rain but I researched umbrellas prior to purchase. It seems well made and the open/close mechanism appears to work well. I cant give it 5 stars because I havent had it out in rainy weather yet!

> 24 hourStill have not received items. Have made multiple attempts to have the problem rectified but keep being told it’s being pass to the higher department. Would really appreciate this being follow up on! Besides that, have had Blunt umbrellas before and they are great.

> 24 hourCompact umbrella with a unique design. Has a 38 inch canopy- is mid size and is compact. The umbrella comes with a case and is easy to hold/use. The materials used look weather and wind resistant and are of a good quality. Color is vibrant and the umbrella has built-in radial tensioning properties. I think its a very well made umbrella and I would recommend it though it is a little pricey. Looks good for travel.

> 24 hourAfter seeing an ad online for Blunt umbrellas I decided to purchase one. It is an investment buy. I have never spent sixty pounds on an umbrella, because I tend to lose them.. But with this bright red umbrella I think not. Its also unisex.

> 24 hourWe have two people in our family who have sustained brain damage over the course of a long life. Both, including myself, have difficulty with the protruding spikes on traditional umbrellas. At some point, we both end up getting stuck by them, often in the face, which is a real danger when our glasses start to slip down on our noses and arent there to protect our eyes as effectively. This umbrella has an incredibly high price tag, and I cant say that I approve of that. It should be, based on construction and materials, around fifty dollars, not seventy. However, the design covers the end points of the spokes in the interior frame that holds the umbrellas shade in place, over your head to protect you from rain. The covering of those end points and the use of rounded edges results in safety that no one else is providing in their umbrella designs. So far, Ive hit myself twice using this umbrella and it hurt less. I wish they charged a more reasonable price, rather than what the market will tolerate, given that many of us buying these are buying them either for people with a disability like myself or people with something like autism, which is why a friend of mine bought one of these for a family member. It does feel like gouging the disabled, and I dont approve. But, again, the product is excellent. It is a very safe umbrella and is much more appropriate for people who have difficulty controlling muscle movements or who have issues with depth perception in their visions or just people like me who end up poking themselves in the face because they cant quite see that edge where the spoke of the frame is sticking out as a little spike that can get me in the face. I highly recommend this, but I hope other companies will step up to produce similar products. To be clear, the frame is mid-level, as to what Ive seen, in terms of thickness of the metal and quality of the little hinges. The fabric is also right at mid-level, not thick enough to prevent wear over time but not as thin as the cheapest umbrellas out there. The handle is not ergonomic or terrible easy to hold for me. The button doesnt open the umbrella all the way, which I have to manually open the rest of the way. Because of all of these issues, I believe it is worth around forty dollars, however, one that had a functioning opening button would be worth around fifty. I hope this helps to clarify some issues. Basically, with this umbrella, we are paying a premium for safety, not the highest quality. In every respect, other than safety, this is a mid-level entry in the umbrella world, assuming everything works, which it didnt on the one we tested.

> 24 hourI have used the umbrella a few times. Once in a gusty environment and so far the umbrella is doing its thing. This is not a tiny or a large umbrella, your arms could get wet and I’d wear a jacket with it. My biggest complaint is some slop I’m the handle, it makes the whole unit feel cheap.

> 24 hourUnfortunately, this umbrella did not live up to its standards. Opened it on a very windy day, and the shaft just bent immediately. The umbrella panel is nicely designed, but the ribs, shaft and handle are very flimsy and of low quality. Absolute waste of money.

> 24 hourMy husband originally purchased this umbrella in Sept 2021 and said it was the only windproof umbrella hes found, so I bought one in May 2022. In the past month (Feb 2023), both of them broke (top and springs burst out of the top when opening. Im very disappointed. We dont even use them that often (5-10 times a year, max). For the price, this should have last years!
