Amazon.com Product Description
The umbrella of choice for touring golf pros, the GustBuster Pro Series Gold 62-inch golf umbrella keeps you dry wherever you roam. The umbrella boasts an innovative, patented double-canopy design that shields up to two people at once, along with an all-fiberglass frame with solid, round, rustproof ribs and spreaders. As a result, the Pro Series Gold is capable of flexing with the wind then returning to its original shape. The thick wall construction, meanwhile, is extremely strong yet much lighter than most comparably sized umbrellas on the market. Most impressively, the umbrella is wind-tested to 55-plus miles per hour at the College of Aeronautics, with aerodynamic vents in the lower canopy letting the wind pass through while the upper canopy keeps the rain out. A favorite of PGA, LPGA, Senior PGA, and Nike Tour professionals, the Pro Series Gold umbrella measures 62 inches in diameter and carries a lifetime warranty.

 Best umbrella ever!!! October 1, 2005

This umbrella really lives up to its name...GUST BUSTER!!! I bought a black one from skymall.com (around $40) a couple years ago and used it while I was down in the caribbean going to school. The strong winds down there would invert most other umbrellas but this one wasn't even phased by the wind. The flap system they have on this thing is genius...all umbrellas should have that. Hope this review helps, Chris
Update: get the same gust busting effect for much cheaper at Wal-Mart.
Not just for golf... November 24, 2006

I don't play golf, but that didn't stop me from picking this umbrella up, as I was sick and tired of cheap 99 cent store umbrellas that would break so easily.
This umbrella is indeed huge, but since I carry a laptop backpack with me almost everywhere I go, I wanted something that would keep it dry during the rain, even though the backpack is water resistant.
I've been outside in rainstorms with this and it just laughs at the rain and wind. I see other people's umbrellas buckle under storm gusts, even flipping inside out, and yet this thing, with its amazing flap system, stays intact, and I just hear the wind rustle through the flaps.
My only complaints are that the handle isn't as comfortable as it could be, and since it's a 62-inch umbrella, it's very tall, and can't fit in a backpack like a mini-umbrella.
Otherwise, I love this thing, and its lifetime warranty, and I should've bought this sooner. Well worth the extra upfront cost to save in the long-run, and I won't be smashing any umbrellas against the side of a highway overpass in the rain after it keeps inverting due to high winds. (yes, this happened to me, and yes, drivers started looking at me strangely)
UPDATE: After about two years, my umbrella broke. I was able to send it back to GustBuster, along with a check for $10, and got a replacement shipped back to me. The annoying part was finding a mailing tube large enough however, the USPS' longest mailing tube was about two inches shy of being able to fit this umbrella into it.
Excellent umbrella, durable and lightweight. March 14, 2006

This is an excellent product. It is a family size umbrella (it covers my wife, the baby stroller and me), and the build quality is very good.
Worth every penny. November 9, 2006

Besides using during rain storms, it works nicely blocking wind on cold days watching outdoor sporting events.

Firm & Sturdy. I own one of these for about seven years now, and the umbrella is still going strong...
This is a true GustBuster...
