A Truly Gust Proof Umbrella

As recent events have shown, Seattle can be a very windy place. But then again, an unexpected gust can catch you off guard in any number of cities. And if there happens to be rain pouring down, the last thing you want is an inside-out umbrella.

Enter the GustBuster, which packs down tight, carries easily and may even stand up to small hurricane, although I’m not making any guarantees. I’ve yet to get my hands on one of these babies.

Has anyone out there tried one? Does it really bust gusts?
