Product Description
43 inch dual canopy windproof umbrella
Amazon.com Product Description
The ideal choice for people on the go, the GustBuster Metro umbrella keeps you dry wherever you roam. The Metro is distinguished by its carrying sheath, which doubles as a backpack or shoulder sling. As a result, you can easily carry this umbrella when it's dry out while also holding a briefcase and cup of coffee. The Metro measures 22 inches long when open and 16 inches folded, with an award-winning 43-inch double-canopy design that's large enough to accommodate two people. The patented temper-hardened steel joint connectors, hexagonal hardened-steel ribs, and reinforced shaft, meanwhile, hold up to heavy use and are built to resist crimping and snapping. And should you not want to carry the Metro via the sheath, it fits easily in a purse or briefcase. Other details include a sure-grip comfort handle, a pinchless open and close release system, and a sleek design. Wind-tested by the College of Aeronautics to 55 miles per hour, the Metro carries a lifetime warranty.

 Good umbrella, but small August 26, 2010
David C Lawrene
I like Gustbuster umbrellas very much but think it needs to be emphasized that this umbrella is, in practice, smaller than the 43" that is indicated. As a 6' tall man with a large frame I found it inadequate for real rain coverage and had to upgrade to a larger size. The fabric is indeed about 43" in diameter, but after being drawn down by the ribs the actually working diameter is only 36" so I would frequently get wet below chest height. Also, the handle is rather short (consistent with other compacts) so that holding it with my elbow at my side and my hand raised to just below my collarbone means that the ribs touch my head, very annoyingly. This can be mitigated by holding the arm up higher, but doing so can be fatiguing for long walks.
For petite people or those just looking for something to dash from the car to inside, this compact Metro model is probably sufficient. For larger people or those with longer walking commutes I'd recommend the 48", if not the 62". Unfortunately the latter has not been available on Amazon for a while and is a bit dominating on crowded sidewalks anyway.
 It's OK August 25, 2010
Bob (USA)
I bought this 4 years ago, and before that I couldn't get an umbrella to last more than a few months before a gust of wind shredded it. This umbrella is still working, so it really is more wind resistant than those Totes umbrellas.
However, this umbrella has little else going for it. My version of the umbrella has a wooden handle; the handle to too small and very unfomfortable to hold, it's not securely attached to the shaft becuse it jiggles around making it even more uncomfortable for holding the umbrella, and the automatic open button is too sensitive making it easy to accidentally open the umbrella when you don't want it to open.
It's also very large and bulky for a folding umbrella, and it doesn't fold up very neatly.
