I bought this for a Scotland/Ireland trip for strong winds. I ended up not using it and placed in the closet. Now I am going to the Baltic States and Poland. There is supposed to a lot of rain and wind, so I got out this umbrella. I opened it to compare size with another umbrella. The push button on the handle popped out instantly. Upset now that I didn't open the umbrella when I first got it. What a waste of money! So much for a strong windproof umbrella. I've had cheap umbrellas for years and this super doper expensive one breaks the first time opened. Don't waste your money on this umbrella.
