The Blunt metro umbrella has been described as "the dreamiest brolly you'll ever lay your eyes on" by our reviewer, who selected it as the top pick in our guide to the best umbrellas. Its stylish, scalloped design is not only visually appealing but also highly practical, helping users avoid close calls and accidental eye pokes when navigating crowded city streets.
Design and Engineering
The umbrella features reinforced pockets along the edge of the canopy, which keep the spokes safely enclosed and prevent them from popping out—a common issue with cheaper umbrellas. Additionally, a 360-degree spinning canopy protects the core mechanism if the umbrella is knocked, enhancing its durability.
Performance in Wind
Even in winds of up to 30mph, the Blunt metro umbrella remained "strong and sturdy." It is wind-tested to withstand a Category 1 hurricane, with gusts up to 95mph, making it a reliable choice for stormy weather.
