5.0 out of 5 stars A truly excellent umbrella

What a beautiful umbrella! I never thought I would use that description on an umbrella; but the Blunt is beautiful. Both from an engineering standpoint, and as a useful object. The material construction is excellent, and the function is smooth and consistent. I had a chance to use it in a real heavy thunderstorm this weekend, with high winds and all the fun stuff, and it was only after it was over, that I realized I had never once thought about my umbrella. I didn’t think about how it was keeping me dry, or how the wind might turn it insides out, etc. That is a great device; one you don’t have to think about, because it does it’s job without your attention. If you want an umbrella that you will not have to think about, then this is a worthy investment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compact, dependable, and safer

After an immediate failure of a PLEMO umbrella, I took a chance on the extra cost and ordered this one in November, 2014. It has worked dependably in rain and wind ever since. I especially like its compactness; I can even stuff it into a rucksack. The handle is short, as some reviewers complained about; however, I adapted to carrying it by the handle braced near my collarbone and the shaft touching the side of my head. That works for me. Eliminating the "pointyness" of the supports and tip is an example of excellent design.
UPDATE June 13, 2020. I am seeing many negative reviews but 5 years after my purchase it's still five stars. I agree that in a heavy downpour with any wind your legs won't be protected but if you need complete protection then you simply need a larger dome. I still use it in rainy western Oregon and it shields my head and upper body. Its compactness, durability, and blunt tips are what I value.

This umbrella works wonders in the wind. The only downside is the canopy is quite shallow and its small considering the size of the stick. Regardless, no complaints. It performs as promised.

Love it. Got it to take to Europe for vacation. Only had to use it once but that was enough to know its perfect. The only thing that could make it better would be if it was more compact--but how??

2.0 out of 5 stars Won't Refund Your Money If You CUT THE TAGS OFF!
Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2017
Verified Purchase
I received this umbrella a couple of days ago, took it out of its packaging, cut the tags off and took it to work. Although it wasn't raining I decided to test it for wind-proofness. To my dismay I found the handle wobbled on the lower shaft and the lower shaft, which was thin and flimsy wobbled a lot on the upper shaft. When I got home I checked their refund policy and found they won't give you a refund IF YOU TAKE THE TAGS OFF. So they are lying when they say they "stand behind their products." What a load of bs! So if on the first use the thing breaks, no refund. If you discover its flimsy and too small, no refund. What a joke. Blunt never again!

Just superb! It’s such fun walking down a road in the pouring rain with this umbrella when it’s windy. Unlike everyone else’s, it’ll be working well keeping you dry. You’ll get stares of disbelief as other soggy people walk past with umbrellas which have turned inside out or been blown to bits.

5.0 out of 5 stars Durable umbrella, it will serve you longer than four umbrellas with metal spokes
Reviewed in Germany on October 27, 2018
Verified Purchase
My husband has such an umbrella for a long time. During this time, I have broken four umbrellas with metal spokes. So I decided to buy Blunt too. It is expensive, but it will work out its price from a long service. The umbrella is made of very high quality materials. It has one drawback: the XS Metro folding umbrella has a small dome diameter. Pros: lightweight, elegant, great comfortable snake case, large selection of colors. All specifications correspond to reality. Highly recommend. Have fun with your stuff.
