Rating: - One very fine & highly-recommended umbrella
I, like many others, read a considerable quantity reviews of GustBuster umbrellas and nearly every one was favorable. Ordered mine thru Amazon, which as usual was quick and efficient. My GustBuster arrived just in time for an Illinois wind and rain storm. My 62" barely flexed in the 20-30mph wind, and its a big bowl-shaped umbrella, versus a flatter style of the lesser-quality umbrella. As you unfold the umbrella, you can tell this is a quality product throughout and they have the confidence to offer a lifetime warranty. How many companies are willing to do that ?? A very, very fine umbrella and I highly recommend them.

Got this to keep in my office, for when it's already raining, when I go to the gym/pool at noon. Works great, keeps me dry - much better than a compact umbrella. (I had a golf umbrella, lost a tip from a tine on the first use, lost another soon after, basically dead.)
Also got the Metro, to carry in my bag.
Rating: - It really does live up to the hype
Thank goodness, my best umbrella tried to smile (and busted). If it hadn't I wouldn't have found my GustBuster--a cool-looking, lightning resistant umbrella with a patented system of vents that is, the manufacturer claims, "wind tunnel certified to 55+ mph." I went out one night in winds that were up to 20 miles per hour and tried turning the thing sideways and it just would not pick up any air--it really does work amazingly well. The holes in the inner surface seem to neutralize all of the typical suction. The version I decided on for my all-weather walking is labeled a "golf umbrella" and is big enough for a small wedding reception (I exaggerate but 62 inches is certainly big enough for me and the dog). The price is right--a bargain for a good umbrella. If you're concerned about weight (this super-sized version weighs close to two pounds) there are smaller, lighter versions. On their web they say the GustBuster is very popular with professional golfers--seemingly, a good indication of long-term quality and performance. Also comes with a limited lifetime warranty. I'm impressed.

Exceptional build quality. Lightweight for its size.
Golfing in the rain? No problem! Handle fits into the Sun Mountain Speed Cart (push cart) umbrella holder.
Would recommend the 68" version for golf.
Rating: - it's huge and durable
It might be a bit big, but if you're over 6 feet tall, you need a big umbrella. Works great in gusts. Had it for over a year now on the east coast and it still works great.
