Blunt Metro, Aqua Blue, One Size

What a beautiful umbrella! I never thought I would use that description on an umbrella; but the Blunt is beautiful. Both from an engineering standpoint, and as a useful object. The material construction is excellent, and the function is smooth and consistent. I had a chance to use it in a real heavy thunderstorm this weekend, with high winds and all the fun stuff, and it was only after it was over, that I realized I had never once thought about my umbrella. I didn’t think about how it was keeping me dry, or how the wind might turn it insides out, etc. That is a great device; one you don’t have to think about, because it does it’s job without your attention. If you want an umbrella that you will not have to think about, then this is a worthy investment.

After an immediate failure of a PLEMO umbrella, I took a chance on the extra cost and ordered this one in November, 2014. It has worked dependably in rain and wind ever since. I especially like its compactness; I can even stuff it into a rucksack. The handle is short, as some reviewers complained about; however, I adapted to carrying it by the handle braced near my collarbone and the shaft touching the side of my head. That works for me. Eliminating the "pointyness" of the supports and tip is an example of excellent design. UPDATE June 13, 2020. I am seeing many negative reviews but 5 years after my purchase it's still five stars. I agree that in a heavy downpour with any wind your legs won't be protected but if you need complete protection then you simply need a larger dome. I still use it in rainy western Oregon and it shields my head and upper body. Its compactness, durability, and blunt tips are what I value.

Love this umbrella; it really is tough stuff. I couldn't ask for a better umbrella. I only wish it had a bigger canopy but it's perfect for a single person.

I carry umbrellas in and out of the car every day, multiple times a day in my job. None of them lasted long before the ribs started poking through the fabric, making the umbrella unusable and downright dangerous. I tried sewing them back which never worked. Then I read about the Blunt umbrella, and the reviews it got. If you look at the picture, the areas where the ribs end on the outside part of the umbrella are specially designed so they don't poke through the fabric! These are pricey, but when I added up the cost of all the Totes umbrellas I had bought, it made sense to pay more for quality. I loved mine so much that I bought two!

A gift for my wife...she is very happy with the overall size and color, and pleased with it's toughness.Thank You Blunt for a happy new year...for all of us!

I received this umbrella a couple of days ago, took it out of its packaging, cut the tags off and took it to work. Although it wasn't raining I decided to test it for wind-proofness. To my dismay I found the handle wobbled on the lower shaft and the lower shaft, which was thin and flimsy wobbled a lot on the upper shaft. When I got home I checked their refund policy and found they won't give you a refund IF YOU TAKE THE TAGS OFF. So they are lying when they say they "stand behind their products." What a load of bs! So if on the first use the thing breaks, no refund. If you discover its flimsy and too small, no refund. What a joke. Blunt never again!

Beautiful and with a masterful design - I'm sure well get good use out of this umbrella. But XS_Metro? I assumed that meant "Extra Small" and thought it might fit in a hand bag for my wife. No such thing! If the XS does indeed mean "Extra Small" someone has an inflated sense of sizes! I have a golf umbrella that collapses to be as small as this does.....

Love it. Got it to take to Europe for vacation. Only had to use it once but that was enough to know its perfect. The only thing that could make it better would be if it was more compact--but how??

Just superb! It’s such fun walking down a road in the pouring rain with this umbrella when it’s windy. Unlike everyone else’s, it’ll be working well keeping you dry. You’ll get stares of disbelief as other soggy people walk past with umbrellas which have turned inside out or been blown to bits.

The only umbrella you’ll ever need to buy!!! Highly, highly recommend

I love this umbrella because it isn't too big and it is incredibly strong.

These are excellent - when all about you are being blown inside out - my Blunt remained intact

My husband has such an umbrella for a long time. During this time, I have broken four umbrellas with metal spokes. So I decided to buy Blunt too. It is expensive, but it will work out its price from a long service. The umbrella is made of very high quality materials. It has one drawback: the XS Metro folding umbrella has a small dome diameter. Pros: lightweight, elegant, great comfortable snake case, large selection of colors. All specifications correspond to reality. Highly recommend. Have fun with your stuff.
