K**I
First Review upon delivery, and a second review after a few weeks of use.
Just opened it up and popped one of the included rubber ends at the tip to turn it into the umbrella cane capable of supporting my 200lb weight! Nice design on the handle! I will comment on it again after using it as a cane/umbrella for a few weeks!Ok. It’s well built, keeps you dry like an umbrella should, and it does a good job! I haven’t used it in a hard storm yet, but I am confident in its ability.It does not offer the strength to confidently support my weight (200lbs) as a cane, but I can use it as a walking aid and that is as good as any umbrella I have ever used.The handle differs from regular cane handle. It is comfortable for me (x-large hands). The solid bar of the umbrella bends when any weight is applied as a cane.It is a very nice umbrella, and I don’t regret purchasing it. I would not recommend it for someone who needed a cane to walk.It is really expensive for a regular umbrella. But, it’s a really nice umbrella! I would recommend it for anyone looking for a quality umbrella.

Solid umbrella
BackgroundI have had numerous golf umbrellas. I practice martial arts regularly. This one is a great one for carrying as a defensive tool. First of all, it's just an unassuming umbrella with no suspicious features to make anyone the wiser. However, it's durable and capable of making strikes, blocks and jabs with one or two handed techniques. Either end can be used for strikes, blocks or even sweeps.ConstructionThe handle is a U-shaped grip which is comfortable, smooth and soft to the touch. It was accompanied with a nylon cover but that is impractical for daily use. The tip is stainless steel with a blunt/rounded end. As even a support device (i.e. walking cane), it is quite sturdy.UseAs an umbrella it was just as functional against rain and sun. It doesn't have the more modern wind canopy feature to prevent inversions. So far, I haven't been out in a storm like that to deal with the common inversion from gusts. The button to open the umbrella is larger than average and easy to operate. Closing the umbrella takes a little more effort, as a standard umbrella does.I took this with me everywhere I went around places where firearms or knives were not authorized. Many people were carrying umbrellas, and this is just a plain everyday item. I find it more effective than a Kubotan because of the greater reach, as well as the element of surprise.OverallI am pleased with my purchase and it has multiple uses. It's sturdy and has a lifetime warranty.Two thumbs up.

Great Umbrella
This umbrella is great. I've been able to use it in the rain briefly, so that aspect of it works great. As far as being unbreakable goes, I believe it. I've bent it this way and that, and it feels very solid. A nice bonus is, they include two can ends to put on the end of the umbrella making it a solid cane. I feel conformable knowing if I have to, I can defend myself with this umbrella. Overall, a good purchase. This umbrella should outlast what's left of me.

Unbreakable vs Filson
Hi, I got fed up of cheap umbrellas and almost out of spite I bought both a the Filson and the Unbreakable (UB, my abbreviation) umbrellas. I thought it would be useful to compare the two.Both are great items and relatively well constructed. The Filson is a manual action, has a a kind of fiberglass or urethane shaft that simulates wood and a tough fabric that reminds me of oiled canvas. The canvas is otter brown and the shaft and handle are a warm maple. It has a plastic tip.The UB has an automatic button type action. (Sorry I forgot what the shaft is made of but it's plenty strong.) The fabric is black lightweight nylon. It has a rounded steel tip.The chief thing I like about the Filson is it's looks and charm. The action is good but not as good like the UB's. The fabric is actually toughercompared to the thin nylon of the UB. While the UB looks purely functional the Filson looks like you just might have a spot of tea when you get in from the rain.The Unbreakable is marketed like it's some kind of weapon. It is black and has a "function only" design-- ie aesthetics wasn't much of aconsideration. The rubberized handle is very solid in the hand, and I like the internal action-- it feels more sturdy and smooth. But the thin nylon fabric is no match for the thicker oiled canvas of the Filson. The thin nylon makes the UB easier to fold up. Note too that the steel tip can, yes, beused to gouge someone in the neck (rolling my eyes) but you cannot use this on hard smooth surfaces as a cane. It will slip all over the place.In short, if you're a liberal arts major, get the Filson. If you're a SWAT team member, get the UB. I wouldn't want to give up either. I keep theUB in the truck and the Filson in the house for when I have to make the hike to the mailbox.

Great product and customer support
Purchased this umbrella late 2015. Been using it when it rains, but living on the west coast, it gets light use. It is sturdy and has held up, however, the handle started to feel weird and sticky. I contacted the company and they took care of me and fixed the issue.I’m now going on 7 years, and the umbrella is still like new. I liked it so much, I got the smaller version for easier carry.

As advertised from a to z
Quite the umbrella, even though I wish it had a bit more weight for swinging. I stood on in at 240lbs and it didn't even blink. I smashed solid concrete and steel targets with the tip and it took every blow like a demo sledge. I took it into Gale winds and it popped outward and back again and again and again in without losing form or tearing. Handsome to boot, nice with a suit, I've received compliments (strangely as I didn't know people were that into umbrellas). Took it on a plane no problem whatsoever. Just one other small detail, the sleeve it comes in could seal better for gripping the main shaft and using to hook, but you could just replace it with a similar size in leather or whatever non slip material you can find.
