Product Description
43 inch dual canopy windproof umbrella
Amazon.com Product Description
The ideal choice for people on the go, the GustBuster Metro umbrella keeps you dry wherever you roam. The Metro is distinguished by its carrying sheath, which doubles as a backpack or shoulder sling. As a result, you can easily carry this umbrella when it's dry out while also holding a briefcase and cup of coffee. The Metro measures 22 inches long when open and 16 inches folded, with an award-winning 43-inch double-canopy design that's large enough to accommodate two people. The patented temper-hardened steel joint connectors, hexagonal hardened-steel ribs, and reinforced shaft, meanwhile, hold up to heavy use and are built to resist crimping and snapping. And should you not want to carry the Metro via the sheath, it fits easily in a purse or briefcase. Other details include a sure-grip comfort handle, a pinchless open and close release system, and a sleek design. Wind-tested by the College of Aeronautics to 55 miles per hour, the Metro carries a lifetime warranty.

 bad grip area March 14, 2010
Patrick Flynn (NYC)
it's too bad that one design flaw makes this otherwise well-built, strong little umbrella an unpleasant thing too use. The grip area is short, and I could even be okay with that, but just above the grip, where a large hand naturally lands, there's a sharp steel latch. Its function is to lock down the closed umbrella. But it doubles as a stabbing tool. There's almost no way to grip around it, and when the wind is blowing it's sure to painfully poke or scrape your index finger or thumb. Too bad, because the gust defeat design is exceptional. In fact I bought their 48" model afterwards. That non-collapsing design has a smooth U shaped handle, is surprisingly light weight and simply the best umbrella I've ever owned. It doesn't collapse, so getting into cars and stowing it while shopping are inconvenient. Oh well, what are you gonna do?

I was hoping it would wider. It did pass the wind test in downtown Houston TX.
Expected more from this umbrella February 27, 2010
CrazyAboutDeals com (san diego, ca United States)
The umbrella itself is ok. I only have two complaints. It's mainly on the handle and the automatic button for the umbrella. I expected the handle to be better made. It looks like it's made out of wood. Water can get into the handle and I didn't expect the handle to be uncomfortable with my small hands. I think the handle is too short. The automatic button opens the umbrella and doesn't automatic closes. I like umbrellas from brookstone better for the price.
 Tough Umbrella February 24, 2010
J. Pacho (San Francisco)
I like how tough the umbrella is but I thought it would be bigger. Only big enough for me and I am only five feet tall.
Best Umbrella I've owned! February 12, 2010

I have been through 3 different umbrellas in the last year and none of them held up. They kept getting caught in gusts of wind and turning inside/out breaking the ribs in the top of the umbrella. The Gustbuster does what it claims and holds together very well! I would definetely recommend this umbrella to everyone!
