Gustbuster doesn't hold up
After six years of owning a Windbrella, it finally broke when I was hit by a car in Chicago. I read the reviews for the Gustbuster and decided to change brands. Big mistake! I purchased three umbrellas: one for myself and one for each of my children. The first time I used my Gustbuster it broke. Because is was during the holiday season, I returned it to Amazon and it was promptly replaced. Within the first week of using the newer version, it broke at one of the spokes. I contacted Gustbuster, and they agreed to promptly replace it, for a $10 shipping and handling charge! Both of my children's umbrellas have also broken. I will be replacing my Gustbuster with a Windbrella!

Good quality umbrella
I bought this umbrella because I walk to work everyday and was getting wet with my old umbrella. This one is great - I stay dry and it doesn't blow inside out. The only reason it didn't get 5 starts is that it is a little too big and heavy for me to carry every day, so I only use it on days when it is raining and still carry my old umbrella daily for unexpected weather. The umbrella is a little expensive, but I think it is pretty sturdy and so far holding up very well. I also like it because it is not huge like a golf umbrella - it is just big enough for one person, so if you are looking for a really big umbrella, this isn't the right one. But I would recommend it for anyone looking for a good quality umbrella.

Well-made, but small
This is a well-made umbrella, but it is so small that the size defeats its purpose. In any storm in which the wind is strong enough to need a wind-proof umbrella, the rain is going to be coming in at an angle, and this umbrella is too small to protect me. I'm not sure where you have to measure this thing to get 43", but it sure isn't the diameter of the canopy coverage.

Gustbuster review
Item description says lifetime warranty, but you must pay $10 to ship, plus $10 check to them - you might as well purchase a new umbrella. How is this a lifetime warranty? I would not purchase this product again.
