kind of expensive but i love my new umbrella... i haven't tested it in hurricane winds - this umbrella has two canopies (black on top and the partly cloudy skies at the bottom) put together.  the skeletal structure is thicker than most umbrellas i've used including a "famous maker" one that i forget the name of.  i will edit once i remember - so far so good.  the famous maker is Totes.  it was ok until the wind folded it over and the rivets broke.

i tell people that this is my special magic umbrella - everytime i open it the rain goes away and all i see is partly cloudy blue skies... they say oh really? then i open it and voila - blue skies partly cloudy!  makes them smile everytime!
