If you have found yourself buying a poorly made (but not necessarily inexpensive) umbrella from your local drugstore at the last minute — likely seconds before a downpour — it may be time to invest in a quality umbrella that won’t break after just a few uses.

Especially with Hurricane Ian on the horizon, a hefty umbrella is probably the investment we all need right about now.

“I bought this umbrella for my daughter who walks to and from school and she used it the day after we received it. She came home and told me it works great!” a reviewer said. “It’s so lightweight, the material of the umbrella and cover is soft but fast drying as I was able to put it right back in her bag when she returned from school, and it’s very compact to slide into the side of her book bag. Great quality for the price and very travel friendly!”

If you want to go the chic route, you can’t go wrong with the trendy but efficient clear umbrella from Totes. It has more than 21,000 raving reviews!

“I am a photographer and originally purchased to use incase of rain for outdoor wedding couples portraits however it came in handy for my kids ball games. It fits over you like a little bubble dome, keeps you dry and you have a nice view right thru the clear umbrella. Not to mention I can still see if a line drive is coming at me. Will be ordering a second for work!” one happy customer said.

“This is a great size for my 6 year old. All the other umbrellas I found were too small for her. This covers her and her book bag completely while waiting at the bus stop and even though she has dropped it a lot there are no tears/holes in it!” a happy customer said.
