I bought this  umbrella as a gift to my wife.  She has not used it, however Im very comfortable in giving this umbrella a 5 star rating.  I had this same umbrella when I used to work before my retirement.  I live in the city of Boston which can be very windy at times and I was always the lucky guy in the rain where my umbrella would never blow inside out while in a storm.  I strongly recommend an umbrella like this one
