This is a completely ordinary umbrella with nothing to distinguish it as a "premium wind-proof" umbrella, other than price. I purchased it because my last umbrella had survived 5 seasons and was getting a little worn. One of the spokes in this "premium wind-proof" umbrella broke almost immediately. Only one of the eight fabric panels was actually coated in a waterproofing compound that causes the water to bead up; the rest of the panels just got wet and soaked up water. Completely worthless purchase.
