FultonBirdcage-1 Umbrella

Really good umbrella, keeps you really dry. It is a little heavy to carry around but worth it for the sturdiness.

This umbrella feels well made with good quality materials. It feels sturdy and made to last. The opening function is easy, no buttons just the push up type. It feels like it will withstand winds better than previous ones I’ve tried of similar design. It looks stylish and is a good true dome shape to cover your whole face and head keeping our all important hair styles safe from destruction! Perfect! And can still see where your going with it’s see through design. I am very happy with this brolly. Also it was delivered boxed so came in perfect condition, unlike previous ones that were delivered bent. Well worth the money! Thank you ☺️

This was quite expensive for an umbrella - I usually buy the cheaper ones as, living where I do in all this wind and rain, umbrella's don't last so long. I decided to go for this as I was fed up of having to buy a new umbrella every week or so and in the long run, this was probably costing me more anyway.This one is advertised it as wind proof which is what first attracted me to it. I've been out in high winds with it once and it seemed to stand up to the test, but I was only walking from the bus stop to my house which isn't any great distance - so whether it would hold up under a more lengthy battering, I'm not sure. The wind can't get underneath it to blow it inside out because of the design, but you need to hold it low enough over your head to make sure it doesn't, because if it did and this umbrella got blown inside out, it would break - you wouldn't be able to fight it back into shape like you can with the 'flatter' shaped ones.It's certainly very well made; it feels good and sturdy and I like the shape. It covers your head and shoulders, which means the rain runs off it and on to the ground, not down your back, thus soaking the back of your knees and ankles. It does steam up a little on the inside which can make it harder to see through, but not so much so that you're walking blind.Overall, I need to give it another try in the wild welsh weather before I can say I'm completely happy with it, but so far - it's good!I thought I would write an update for this product as mine has developed a hole - after only buying it in January and using it intermittently, i.e. two out of every seven days at the most. This would denote to me that this product is not such great value for money and I won't be buying another one. Amazon - with all their money - could let me return it for a replacement, but they won't!

Just received.Very well made and sturdy.Very good for the price.Going to buy another one as a present

It is the second time I have purchased, the first one lasted about 7 years, it keeps your head and shoulders completely dry and it doesn’t blow inside out, perfect for those wet and windy days. ☔️

The design shields you from slanting rain to some extent, and the transparent fabric makes it easy to see where you're going. For normal conditions where the rain is vertical, protects my pant legs much better than a regular umbrella. Also, even though it's not marketed as wind-resistant, the shape of the canopy makes it wind-resistant. Finally, it's very reasonably priced.

I carefully selected this umbrella, going for quality as well as good looks and I chose this one as it claimed it was exceptionally well made and because of its generous size. It arrived in perfect order. I had read that it would be covered in a coating of powder to stop the folds of plastic sticking together, which was true. I washed it off - unless you want to use a powder-covered umbrella, you have to. It looked beautiful. I tested it out and it felt very robust and worked efficiently. However after only one use (a rainy wedding) where I lent it to another guest, it broke! Several of the metal arms have broken at their joints or twisted so badly that even if you get the umbrella open, it is so wonky in shape it is useless. i have had to throw it away. A complete waste of money. The cause of the breakage can be one of two faults; either it was badly made in the first place, but it looked OK when i first tested it; or it was damaged in trying to open it up - lack of appreciation by a "novice user" that you have to spend a good ten minutes teasing apart the inevitably stuck together folds of plastic when the umbrella has been folded down - the plastic sticks incredibly to itself, like cling film, or worse, and takes quite a bit of patience and gentle encouragement to unstick the folds to allow you to open the umbrella out. I would imagine that if you simply push the umbrella open in the normal fashion, the metal arms will simply crumple under the force as the plastic simply doest budge. Useless in a sudden downpour.I cannot see how this umbrella can be sold when it takes such an effort to open it up, and clearly just one use by someone who didn't know the pitfalls has rendered it useless. I'm very disappointed and consider it a complete waste of money.

It's perfect. I remember these umbrellas from my teenage years. This one is better quality.
