In the market for a good umbrella
 
My umbrellas have been breaking this year. Oh well, they're always the ones that people leave at my place or that I find abandoned in public. I figure it is time to buy one for myself. Can anyone suggest a good umbrella that can withstand wind, as well as repeated use? I want one that will be worth the money I spend.

So far, I have found two umbrellas that seem to stand out:

Senz Umbrellas | the storm umbrella | windproof up to wind force 10 - SENZ Original
This one is weird-shaped, but is aerodynamic. I've heard it is awkward to open and close, but it simply can't be blown around.

DAVEK Umbrella - Davek Solo
This is my top choice at the moment. People say it is really well made. It is large, but furls relatively small. Easy button open and close. It is expensive, but the thing that really gets me is the Unconditional Lifetime Guarantee.

Are there any more that I should be looking at?

My awesome logo'd golf umbrella doesn't have a manufacturer's name. So my suggestion is to check at a golf shop, either online or B&M. Golf umbrellas are typically oversized, so that might be a problem if you don't have a good place to stow it or if you're short. But if you're over about 5'10", then you're probably good in an urban setting.

Golf umbrellas are usually designed so that they're light enough for a caddy to carry in your bag and big enough so that the caddy can hold it over you while you putt. That said, I've never even put either of mine in my golf bag.

Honestly, I've never thought to buy a good umbrella, they get lost and stolen so easily. I don't know how many times I've took one in somewhere and walked out without it because it had quit raining it didn't even dawn on me that I didn't have it anymore.

offtopic, but this is against the rules of golf. Rule 14-2a:

In making a stroke, a player must not accept physical assistance or protection from the elements
on topic - otherwise, I agree with Jazz's assessment of golf umbrella.

Umbrellas are meant to be lost. I refuse to over spend on one as it is just a donation to the lost and found.

What he said.

Those look like pretty awesome umbrellas though.

I don't lose things. Usually.
