So, I'm tired of all of the cheap umbrellas out there that break really easily, that aren't large enough to keep you very dry during heavy rain storms, and that aren't compact enough. I did a search for past topics, and it looks like we don't have an umbrella-fi!
So I'm looking for an umbrella that folds up enough to fit into a backpack (the handle can protrude through the backpack a little -- I don't mind). It must open to a diameter greater than 36 inches (compact, everyday umbrellas), preferably at least 48 inches (the bigger, the better), so that it'll keep me dry during downpours. It should also be reasonably light and durable, so it doesn't break or invert itself when it's windy.
I did a bit of searching, and I found some ridiculously expensive models of umbrellas, but I don't want to spend more than $50 for it. But if it's a really good one, I suppose i can spend up at $100 for it.
So, any takers?
