Amazon shoppers hail 'last umbrella you'll ever need' as perfect for stormy British weather

ok.co.uk:

We've all been there, wrestling with an inside-out umbrella during the daily commute, dog walks or supermarket dashes. It's not only infuriating but can also put a real downer on your day.

And let's not even get started on the money wasted over the years on brollies that have broken in the wind. With Britain bracing itself for yet another storm, it's clear that a sturdy umbrella is a must-have item.

But which one to buy? Many promise protection against strong winds and rain, but most fall short of expectations. However, Amazon shoppers believe they've found a design that won't leave you out in the rain - and it comes with a lifetime guarantee.

The Repel Umbrella Windproof Travel Umbrella, £29.99 here, is designed to weather the storm with ease. Its wind-resistant design features a double-vented canopy and nine resin-reinforced fibreglass ribs that are said to "withstand strong winds without breaking.' The design has received over 81,000 reviews so far, with many customers impressed with the level of protection the umbrella offers- especially in harsh weather conditions.
