I've had this umbrella for 5 years now.

As an umbrella to use while raining:
* Yes, this umbrella provides nice protection.
* Even though Chicago is dubbed as the "Windy City" for political reasons, it really can get windy here. The open umbrella has never inverted on me.

As for the product when it's not in use during the rain:
* In my first week of owning it, I dropped it on the sidewalk once, and the wooden handle got dinged and chipped.
* The silver metal rods have all come out of the black end caps, so I've had to superglue them back into place.
* It's also a heavy and bulky umbrella. I cannot believe how much weight it adds to my work bag. I can barely zip it into my Longchamp Le Pliage.
