    Default Alternative to the Sports Brella??


    Is there a stiffer umbrella that will handle more than 3mph of wind, my sports brella is toast pretty much. Got drenched this morning in a sudden shower, it was useless against the 5 - 7 mph wind, it folded like a cheap suit, bent all to heck

    I think I cut the flaps off them, I have to look at it again. It just folded in half when wind got up, I was trying to to hold it out with my arm, lol. Heck, usually can't by a breeze in the summer in MS, this year is the exception

    Bought mine last summer, and wouldn't doubt it on making them cheaper, everything now days ain't worth flip. We are all consumers and dollar signs now, not people, the more it breaks the more we buy!!
