Lives up to its name January 9, 2007

My commute to work involves what can be described only as a walk through a wind tunnel. The trash barrel near my office always has at least one umbrella in it, and my sturdy Totes 34" umbrella was blown inside out by the wind here.
I am pleased to say the GustBuster has worked perfectly and I am very pleased with my purchase. I would say I would buy another one, but I don't foresee this umbrella ever failing. This is an excellent umbrella.

I fold, as in, "I give up." I've owned my share of "wind-resistant" folding umbrellas and none of them lived up to the claim. Even GustBuster makes a folding umbrella but I was drawn to this one's classic beauty.
It's not so bulky that you can't take it everywhere and the canopy is the perfect size for him or her, or in a pinch, him AND her. The real wood crook-shaped handle gives it a touch of class. The opening mechanism relies on the proven coil-spring system, but that's where the similarity to other solid-shaft automatics ends.
Fiberglas takes the place of metal in the parts that might attract lightning, making the GustBuster light for its size but just as sturdy. Unzip the two Velcro straps, push the button and two canopies pop open to shield you from the rain. The raindrop-shaped openings allow the wind to pass between the canopies. Then aerodynamics take over, forcing the canopies to retain their shape instead of turning inside out. Elastic straps hold down the upper canopy, eliminating a gap where the rain might sneak in. A video of GustBuster's wind-cannon testing confirms their claims. You can see it at GustBuster's website (just tack on the ".com"). Combine this high level of engineering and thoughtful design with GustBuster's affordable pricing on all their umbrellas and it adds up to possibly the best umbrella value.

The Gustbuster umbrella is great. It performs as advertised in high wind conditions.

I've owned a Gust Buster for over 5 years now and it works great. I've had it out in the early winds of a hurricane and it worked exactly as it was intended. I like the big size because it keeps the rain away from more of me than the smaller ones do. Mine isn't automatic, so maybe that's a problem, but every automatic umbrella I've ever owned eventually stopped working and had to be opened by hand.
BUY this umbrella! March 10, 2006

I have owned a full-size, auto open Gustbuster umbrella for six years. It has exceeded all my expectations and works perfectly, even in the strongest of winds and heavy rain. The auto open has never been a problem, and I like the larger size because it keeps more of me dry, not just my head & shoulders. Well worth the extra money. I know people who buy $10 umbrellas and have to replace them when they turn inside out. Won't happen with this umbrella.
