Hi All
In need of a new strong but compact umbrella that can fit into a rack sack. Currently using the Fulton’s tornado but it’s broken again so I have given up on this brand. First one the button mechanism broke and now the replacement has just snapped. Anyone recommend me a decent brand?

Bought a couple of Blunt umbrellas for people a few years back. One lives on the north norfolk coast and has 2 energetic Labradors so it gets quite a bit of use in brisk winds. Still working. It was one of the larger umbrellas though.

Ideally after a small umbrella I can fit into my bag. Always have a brolly in my bag for the typical Uk weather

I have a knirps, I’m pleased with it and would recommend them. It was about £40/45 ish I think.
