‘Windproof’ umbrella ‘tested at 70mph’ falls to almost half-price as wet weather forecast

One shopper described it as a ‘brilliant umbrella’

With the colder and wetter weather officially here, no-one wants to be caught out or unprepared. The weather is particularly unpredictable in the UK, and the forecast for the coming week doesn’t look great, but there’s one product which could help – and it’s currently discounted to nearly half price.

The TUMELLA Strongest Windproof Travel Umbrella is currently available for £17.99 on Amazon, discounted from £29.99, saving shoppers a handy 40% – but only for a limited time, the site says. Tumella claims this is the ‘sturdiest’ and ‘most windproof umbrella’ that’s easy to use with an automatic open and close function.

This umbrella has a waterproof coating and a vented double canopy that allows wind to pass through, so that it can withstand the harshest weather, the brand says. It has also been tested in Eindhoven University’s wind tunnel at 70+mph, according to the site.

It has nine fiberglass ribs, made specifically with the new and superior ultra-flex 2025 tech, making it ‘almost unbreakable’ when it bends in heavy winds, the brand says. Plus, with its lightweight and portable design, shoppers can take this with them wherever they go.

An alternative is this Windproof Golf Umbrella in Black from Argos, priced at £14. This product features a 144 cm diameter canopy, which is big enough for two, strong flexible windproof fibreglass ribs, an easy grip black plastic handle, and a waterproof 100% polyester 190T canopy, the site says.

Or there’s this stylish Large Umbrella from Next, available for £20. This comes in three styles, including Black/Camel, Neutral/Black and Pink/Brown, and the brand says the product has been designed with a manual opening and a hook handle.

Shoppers have written positive comments about the TUMELLA Strongest Windproof Travel Umbrella on Amazon, leaving an average 4.5 out of five star rating, from more than 4,000 reviews. One person wrote: “This really is a great umbrella. The push button open and close function works every time, making it extremely easy to deploy and then put away. It comes with a sleeve to keep it in and fits nicely in a small backpack or bag.”

They added: “The build quality is remarkable considering the price point, making it a very sturdy umbrella. It also comes with a lifetime warranty, so how could it be any better! Don’t hesitate, buy one now. You wont regret it!”

Another said: “Only used it once so far but was very wet and very windy and this brolly was great. Very sturdy.” While a third wrote as part of a longer review: “Bought for my granddaughter to keep in her school backpack. It is compact and great for unexpected weather conditions. As it is storm proof, it should be perfect.”

Other shoppers left some feedback, with one person writing: “Brilliant umbrella. Only down side is that it’s a little heavier and girthier than the average brolly. Totally worth it though considering that, unlike most other brollies, it ACTUALLY does what it’s supposed to.”

While someone else said: “Umbrella is as good as it looks. I highly recommend it. It’s not the smallest but is not heavy and good for travel, walking etc.”
