The flaws? And the nylon strings got tangled in my tote bag. Dryness: 4 Wind Resistance: 3. The real takeaway is how light this thing is — it rivals certain compact styles in its lightness.

Dryness: 3 Wind Resistance: 5 Comfort: 3 Looks: 3. Maybe my wrists are on the weaker side, but I found it somewhat taxing to close it all the way, especially if I was going to be doing something that required speed, like, say, racing to catch a subway train. Dryness: 5 Wind Resistance: 4. Procella claims it can withstand winds up 46 miles an hour, and I believe it.

The major downside: that overbearing giant logo. The umbrella did a terrific job of keeping me dry, though, and it felt strong in the face of wind, too, though there were some bursts that made me feel like I might get carried away like Mary Poppins.

When walking it almost always needed to be held forward at a degree angle to gain better coverage, which is cumbersome and annoying — I definitely got wet. The lighter structure also gave it a slight swaying feeling against the wind, though it never felt like it would snap or flip. Dryness: 4 Wind Resistance: 4 Comfort: 3 Looks: 2.

A mostly functional umbrella with a sturdy design, the Blunt has some design flaws that made me question if it was worth the price.

While it has a wide canopy, its rounded-tip edges left openings for rain and wind to blow in. Even compared to other large, stick umbrellas, the Blunt felt heavy to hold and my wrist cramped up when I tried to juggle it while also carrying bags. Dryness: 5 can I give it a 6?!

Wind: 3 Comfort: 2 Looks: 2. Okay, the canopy on this one is comically huge , but I kind of loved it. Dryness: 4 Wind Resistance: 4. I wanted to love this umbrella because I genuinely believe not even gale-force winds could cause it to buckle.

I was either holding it too high and tiring out my arm or holding it too low and cutting off my visibility. Yes, I was extremely dry, but I had to work too hard to stay that way. I do have to say that though I had doubts about its wind resistance, the retractable frame and shaft stayed secure even after a gust. The Traveler really was spiffy for carrying around — it felt light and nice in my hand.

In the rain, though, it ran into some problems. I felt that the pole was a bit short, which meant I had to hold the umbrella pretty far down to keep it close to the top of my head. A blast of wind came by though, and flipped the umbrella inside out — two blocks later, it happened again. My shins and shoes got a little rained on, but the rest of my body stayed pretty dry.

In fact, after a week, the battery seemed to have died completely. Dryness: 3 Wind Resistance: 4 Comfort: 1 Looks: 2. I felt like a real dapper Dan toting this French-made umbrella around town. For its drinks-at-the—Harvard Club looks, the Pierre Vaux is quite lightweight, but big, big points against it for pinching my fingers more than once upon closing it. I have to say, I did not love this umbrella. The main draw to the inverted design is that it collapses in instead of opening out, saving you from having to deal with a dripping-wet accessory, but other than that nice touch, the construction feels a little flimsy.

Dryness: 2 Wind Resistance: 2 Comfort: 3 Looks: 2. It does okay in moderately windy conditions, but it threatens to invert if the wind even slightly picks up. I could see it getting trashed by a stronger gust of wind.

Dryness: 5 Wind Resistance: 4 Comfort: 5 Looks: 4 For something with the heft of a bodega umbrella, I was very surprised at how well this little polka-dotted guy from ShedRain held up in a downpour. Dryness: 4 Wind Resistance: 5 Comfort: 5 Looks: 3 Impressively large for a compact umbrella, the Davek kept me mostly dry although some wayward-traveling rain did seep in , leaving me a little unsure this could live up to its promise of keeping two people totally protected.
