Review: Great Umbrella - Looks nice too! - It's extroardinary in the wind, does a great job of keeping the rain off my husband (and one other person), and dries extremely quick (seriously). Wood handle is very nicely fashioned, easy to hold, and just the right size to hang on the office coat hanger. Release mechanism is not automatic, but easy enough to use and doesn't leave you searching in the rain. Canopy is held down (when closed) with 2 velcro straps that are plenty long and do a great job of holding in one place. it's also a nice fashion accessory as there are no huge labels on the umbrella and it looks very business-like. My husband uses this walking into a large office building in the middle of an open field in the midwest - so there is lots of wind and it has not yet flipped inside-out. Will be buying another one - terrific. Review: Broke after 2 Years - 23 month review: October 18, 2014 - Reduced from 5, to 4 (after 18 months), to to 2 stars (after 2 years). I purchased my GustBuster Doorman on Nov 9, 2012. It performed really well in rainy, windy Boston, and I HAD a mostly-good review of it. But a couple nights ago, after 23 months of ownership, the GustBuster finally gave up and broke on me. While spinning it to dry it off, as I've done with every umbrella I've ever owned, the fiberglass shaft of the GustBuster completely shattered, splitting all the way up, and rendering the umbrella useless (it won't hold upright anymore). I'm reducing my rating to 2 stars. I think the umbrella performs admirably, but for $50, shouldn't break after 2 years of ownership. That's a lifespan I'd expect from a $10 umbrella. Unfortunately, the fiberglass shaft just isn't strong enough to support the HUGE canopy, which has a huge moment of inertia due to its enormous diameter and weightiness. Again, if you're really considering this umbrella, I'm sure you'll be happy with it at first, but like me, you'll probably be disappointed when you find out that it is NOT the long-term purchase you expected it to be. Besides the ultimate failure of the shaft, the umbrella had really shown signs of wear over the 2 years I owned it (detailed in my previous review). It was still very strong, but didn't present nearly as well as it had when I first got it. New summary: would NOT buy again. ===================================================================================== 18 month review: The GOOD: 1. It's HUGE - you can fit 2 to 3 people under this thing easily. 2. It's STRONG - I've had 30-50 mph gusts hit me with this thing open. Strong enough to push me back (I'm a huge, 220 lb guy), but didn't break my GB. 3. It's CLASSY - the style of this umbrella will complement you well in a 3-piece suit. It has a very elegant look. (Caveat, see "CHEAP" below) 4. It's BUILT TO LAST - after 18 months, the ribs and sheets of my umbrella are like new, despite being subjected to heavy winds on regular occasion. The BAD: 1, It's HUGE - even folded up, it's almost 40" long. Not easy to carry / store. But if you like the look of carrying a fancy umbrella with a wood handle, then it will suit you fine. 2. It's CHEAP - the umbrella is entirely detailed with plastics. The handle is a cheap faux wood that will get chipped and scratched easily, and will never look as good as real wood (my friend has a real wood handled umbrella from London that puts the look of this to shame up close, though the GustBuster handle looks good enough from 10 feet away). Also, the tip of my umbrella broke off while I was walking with it shut like a walking stick (tapping the end on the ground). If it were made of steel instead of cheap plastic, this wouldn't have happened. SUMMARY: All in all, I really like this umbrella. It's not a hand-made masterpiece with fine details, but it mostly looks the part, and it REALLY works well in wind (as advertised), and gets the job done! Great umbrella for the money. I would buy it again, even knowing its flaws. ## Features - 100% Nylon - Imported - Expansive black umbrella with pinchless open and close release - Double-reinforced, lightning-resistant fiberglass shaft - Classic, burn-embossed, hardwood J-handle - Wind-tested to 55 miles per hour - Measures 62 inches in diameter; lifetime warranty ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0009E3EG4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #398,821 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #211 in Golf Umbrellas | | Brand Name | GustBuster | | Canopy Diameter | 62 Inches | | Canopy Material | Nylon | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 117 Reviews | | Frame Material | Fiberglass | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00797781851623 | | Handle Material | Hardwood | | Included Components | Cover | | Item Dimensions W x H | 62"W x 62"H | | Item Shape | Round | | Manufacturer | GustBuster | | Material | Nylon | | Model Name | Classic | | Model Number | 85162BL | | Number of Items | 1 | | Opening Mechanism | Auto Open Button | | Part Number | 85162 | | Pattern | Solid | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Recommended Uses For Product | Outdoor | | Shaft Material | Fiberglass | | Size | 62 inch | | Special Features | Windproof | | Specific Uses For Product | Rain, .Ssun | | Style | Classic | | Target Audience | Adult | | UPC | 797781851623 033586536236 | | Umbrella Tilt Mechanism | Manual Tilt | ## Product Details - **Brand:** GustBuster - **Color:** Black - **Specific Uses For Product:** Rain, .Ssun - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Outdoor - **Target Audience:** Adult - **Special Feature:** Windproof - **Shape:** Round - **Shaft Material:** Fiberglass - **Handle Material:** Hardwood - **Frame Material:** Fiberglass ## Images ![GustBuster Doorman 62" Umbrella (Black) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41ScNsf2MyL.jpg) ![GustBuster Doorman 62" Umbrella (Black) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51aeWCJs+EL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Umbrella - Looks nice too! *by M***4 on June 28, 2013* It's extroardinary in the wind, does a great job of keeping the rain off my husband (and one other person), and dries extremely quick (seriously).

I must too you, that it is strong, big, nice. But, I have used it less then 15 times, suddenly in one rainy morning, I went down the 6 floors, and went outside, I opened the umbrella, I had only one half side covered with fabric, about 2 ends got torn, both the fabric and the rubber together, I felt ashamed with myself carrying that expensive umbrella in that shape, but I was still happy knowing that I'll get other ones since this has a life time warrenty. I called gustbusters c.s., I was shocked when the customer service agent told me that ''only the construction is covered, but the material is not covered under the warranty,'' So my dear freinds, just buy cheep brand, that is not causing pain when it gets broken. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/3776942-gustbuster-doorman-62-umbrella-black](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/3776942-gustbuster-doorman-62-umbrella-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
