Review: Trekking Umbrella

These umbrellas are excellent. We had two in the UK this year (2012) for 6 months during the wettest summer in 100 years and they worked perfectly. They are comparatively light, are larger than the usual folding umbrella and do not leak or allow spray through the fabric even during many heavy downpours. The fabric does not absorb water and therefore they dry quickly. They are comparatively strong and are very good in high winds. We lost one of ours and one broke due to my error. We have now bought two more and will be taking them around Australia with us.
