Review: My GustBuster "Classic" Umbrella Review (VIDEO of "Metro") - <---Short Test Video of Metro 43 Inch, not the larger 48 Inch Classic. The GustBuster 48 Inch classic stick style umbrella is probably the last umbrella you may need to buy. Granted you take good care of it and do not leave it on a bus or train. The umbrella (automatic version) is easy to open, is light weight, and above all lives up to its "gust-busting" claims of very high winds. Although I do wish it was just a wee bit larger, perhaps 52 inches, it is still large enough to shield most of your upper body in moderate downpours with light winds without having to play umbrella chicken with other folks passing by. It is a nice one person umbrella...but not for two. However, for a taller man, the lower legs may still catch some of the rain run off. But not too bad. While I found the quality of the fabric just average, the handle, stick, and ribs of the product feel strong and stable; ready to tackle high winds. Each outer spoke attaches the upper canopy using elastic bands. The lower canopy seems to be more rigid and attached to the main frame. When the wind does get under it, both canopies separate allowing the wind to just flow through the large holes, all while keeping you dry. The elastics let the upper canopy stretch upwards which seems to work the magic preventing the umbrella to invert. The reason I am writing this review is because it passed its real test just yesterday when here on Staten Island, New York, we had heavy rain with wind gusts of up to 50 MPH. (the GustBuster claims it handles 55+ winds). I figured this was a good opportunity to give it a try. In between the Supreme Court building and 130 Stuyvesant Pl is like a wind tunnel on days like this. There are always destroyed umbrellas in the garbage bins on either side of the street. My Gustbuster did its job impressively while everyone else around me had their umbrellas blown inside out. Before the Gustbuster, I had a Hammacher Schlemmer "wind defying" umbrella which was sort of ok in light to medium winds (25 MPH or so), but did blow inside out on me twice, the second tearing part of the fabric off the ribs. So, for folks who want a true wind resistant umbrella. Go with the Gustbuster. And also keep in mind that the classic stick style has the best overall quality build. Just don't lean the umbrella into the wind (as if shielding yourself) since this does put pressure on the ribs, and try and keep it half-open to relief pressure and extend the life. Don't walk into an EF 1 or higher tornado with it either, ha ha! Also, the Metro 43 Inch version that I bought as a spare seems a bit flimsy and not as strong as the classic stick version...the parts on the metro feel somewhat cheaper. Didn't give that one the test yet though... I'm not sure about the larger 62 inch umbrellas. Hope my review was helpful for those considering this product. ======= UPDATE! SEE SHORT VIDEO TEST Above ("METRO" MODEL) ======= Just yesterday (3/13/10) we had extremely strong winds here on Staten Island, New York with reported gusts over 65 MPH. I figured that this was yet another great opportunity to give my 2 Gustbusters another wind test. My Classic 48 Inch umbrella performed the same as usual...but it was the smaller 43 Inch Metro that I wanted to test. Although having somewhat of a lesser construction quality, it held up pretty good. The winds on Fox 5 news were reported around 30 to 35 MPH sustained with gusts of up to 60+ MPH. The Metro did a very good job at holding together for the most part, but...a very strong gust, probably 55 to 60 MPH I'm guessing, did manage to cause it to finally invert, (not shown in video). However, no major damage occurred and I just faced it back in to the wind to correct it again. So, these umbrellas WILL invert, but only in gusts that are extremely high! I live right near the coastline so our winds were some of the stronger gusts. In these cases don't even bother using an umbrella since you're going to be wind-soaked anyway. Overall, I still rate the Classic stick style at 5 stars (the Metro at 3 1/2 stars due to lesser quality) and trust me that they do perform as advertised. But do expect them to blow inside out in those rare 55+ gusts as it did in my test run. After all they are labeled and wind tunnel tested at 55+ MPH, so that is pretty accurate and honest advertising. Hope this update was helpful! Review: Prepare to be dry when you are using this Gustbuster classic! - I never thought I would be sitting here typing up a review on umbrella and I never thought I would be spending more than $10 on a umbrella. My research for umbrella started when I found out when all the old cheapo umbrella broke. This has lead me to this umbrella the gustbuster classic just seeing that name you already know its going to be one awesome umbrella that will keep you dry in a storm!! Features at a Glance: In bullet list form. Handle 55+ MPH Wind Wind-Release Vent Strong lightweight fiberglass ribs Pros: Handling 55+ MPH wind Easy to open/close Lifetime warranty Cons: Price This is my first quality umbrella as for spending $30+ on it. I can say its differently worth spending on as for the first test I have use it out in 30+mph wind with a bit of light rain for about a hour in those condition this umbrella stand up to the test while other people around me with walmart quality umbrella had problem with the frame inverting inside out or the umbrella cover coming off. I let my friend hold the umbrella also an they were definitely impress with the quality. I will say Three people can fit into it with everyone staying fairly dry but I think two people would have been better suited for this size. I like the wooden handle design and material used that curves like a J shaped its been a while since I seen these type of umbrella as now days modern umbrella usually comes with a black plastic handles so it was a selling point for me seeing the J shaped handle + wooden material. I have fairly large hands as for me the handle fit comfortably and perfectly in my hands without feeling uncomfortable. The length of the umbrella is pretty long an I would not say its travel friendly unless its meant to be use for the walk from car to the store and back. I believe there is other options for a travel friendly compact umbrella because when this umbrella is close its still pretty long. If you are looking for a umbrella to handle strong winds give coverage for 2 people from rain I would recommend this umbrella as its not too expensive compare to the other brands. If you are looking for a compact travel umbrella I don't recommend this as its too long an heavy for travel friendly. ## Features - 100% Nylon - Imported - Golf umbrella with pinchless open and close release system - Double-reinforced, lightning-resistant fiberglass shaft - Wind-tested by the college of aeronautics to 55 miles per hour - Measures 48-inches in diameter and 36-inches long ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0009E3EDM | | Best Sellers Rank | #135,660 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #96 in Golf Umbrellas | | Brand Name | GustBuster | | Canopy Diameter | 48 Inches | | Canopy Material | Nylon | | Color | hunter | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (1,281) | | Frame Material | Fiberglass | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00797781374481 | | Handle Material | Wood | | Included Components | Cover | | Item Dimensions W x H | 48"W x 36"H | | Item Shape | Round | | Manufacturer | GustBuster | | Material | Nylon | | Model Name | Classic | | Model Number | 37148HU | | Number of Items | 1 | | Opening Mechanism | Auto Open Button | | Part Number | GCHA | | Pattern | Solid | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Recommended Uses For Product | Golfing, Outdoors, travel, commuting | | Shaft Material | Fiberglass | | Size | 48 inches diameter, 36 inches length | | Special Features | auto-open-and-close | | Specific Uses For Product | Rain | | Style | Classic | | Target Audience | Adult | | UPC | 781678040474 797781374481 | | Umbrella Tilt Mechanism | Auto Tilt | ## Product Details - **Brand:** GustBuster - **Color:** hunter - **Frame Material:** Fiberglass - **Handle Material:** Wood - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Golfing, Outdoors, travel, commuting - **Shaft Material:** Fiberglass - **Shape:** Round - **Special Feature:** auto-open-and-close - **Specific Uses For Product:** Rain - **Target Audience:** Adult ## Images ![Classic 48-Inch Automatic Golf Umbrella - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51OUfYZPEXL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My GustBuster "Classic" Umbrella Review (VIDEO of "Metro") *by H***T on January 27, 2010* <---Short Test Video of Metro 43 Inch, not the larger 48 Inch Classic.

It's very big but not excessive for one grown man to walk under. Just be prepared to dodge other people's umbrellas if walking downtown. It looks very stylish and has gotten a few glances. So far wind hasn't "pulled" on it at all. It stays vertical and easy to hold where my old cheap umbrella would get whipped around and have to be wrestled with to control. I have yet to deal with fierce gusts, but it seems very sturdy and I'm not worried. It's a little harder to secure closed than I would like, with a bit of force needed to catch the latch and keep it from popping back open. It's a minor annoyance in an overall fine product. ## Frequently Bought Together - GustBuster Classic 48-Inch Automatic Golf Umbrella - Repel Umbrella Windproof Travel Umbrellas for Rain - Easy Auto Open Close, Durable & Compact Umbrella, Strong Fiberglass Frame, Waterproof Canopy - Backpack, Purse, Portable Umbrella for Travel --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/1304358-classic-48-inch-automatic-golf-umbrella](https://www.desertcart.be/products/1304358-classic-48-inch-automatic-golf-umbrella) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-01*
