I really love this umbrella! I am glad I bought this style instead of a flimsy travel umbrella. The bubble shape lets you fully cover your head while still being able to see through the transparent material. Plus it's attractive enough I don't dread taking it out on rainy days! Like almost any umbrella, I would be hesitant to use on an incredibly windy day--though I haven't yet been able to find a style that can withstand 20 mph+ wind without falling apart.
