@CowFrogHorse "nytimes didn't mention weatherman or blunt umbrellas… dunno how considering weatherman is the favourite on the pg tour, it should have at least got a mention."
Not being narky here, but the product being describe is a small 'travel' umbrella that you would stick in your handbag / man-bag or just toss under the front seat of your car. I doubt weather you would bother with carrying it around with you on the PG tours… that's what those bloody big golf umbrella are for, as well as blocking out your fellow spectators' view. ;)
Weatherman offer many umbrella styles and sizes including travel size. I only mentioned that their golf umbrellas are a pga favourite, that doesnt mean they only make large golf size umbrellas
Right in time for the rainy Melbourne weather, atm
We need a subscribe and save deal on these. Need a new one each month…
Whenever I catch a train there is a 50/50 chance I'll leave my umbrella behind on it. Should really stick an AirTag to it…
@choofa, "Need a new one each month…"
Nah mate, just look under the seats of your car… just recovered five (5) of them…
atm
You mean, always?
Right in time for our Sydney rainy weather also, although a life raft bonus might be helpful up here for our torrential rain right now :)
Very helpful when you try to open it from inside a vehicle.
You buy shoes? Make your own you lazy bum. You buy meat? Go hunt animals you lazy bum. You use electric lighting? Use a candle you lazy bum.
have they got the ones with built in lights like in blade runner yet?
As good as the Blunts I saw getting passed around the other day?
Not really… these don’t protect you from reality
is it just auto open ? does it auto close with the button?
Auto close with wind
More like auto terminate.
From the description: Canopy automatically opens/closes at the touch of a button
Anyone know how wide this actually is? Wanting a golf-style very wide umbrella but can’t seem to see on the page
From a review; Light and compact umbrella that works well and keeps the rain away. Only thing is that its a bit small so if you carry a backpack it won’t be covered by the umbrella
It's pretty small. It does the job though. It'll keep your dry enough but probably not your backpack like Rooney is saying from the review. Definitely better than no umbrella though. Bigger the umbrella, the less likely you will bring it along. You can just put it inside your bag or whatever just in case. Haven't had to test it in the wind yet.
Aliexpress has a ton of wide umbrella's. you could possibly check there.
Hahaha only bought one umbrella before
deal finished? cannot add to cart
