Fulton Huntsman Umbrella Black

A really good,strong solid product! Well worth the money. Windproof! Double spoked, pretty weighty and manual operation. Not an automatic opener. You push itopen by hand so it will not fly open by itself. I prefer that personally. The metal spike on the end takes a small rubber tip if you buy one from the cobblers or DIY shop making a strong walking umbrella. Great help for keeping steady if you need it. Over the years I have had three of these and they have been good. Enjoy keeping dry!!!! Nigel Moore.

Material is very good and perfect umbrella size

Feels a good sturdy design, but I haven't yet tried in in windy weather. Comfortable to hold. Loses a star as some of the brown varnish flaked off the handle on first use, revealing the pale coloured wood undereath

I bought this umbrella after being let down by a cheap £5 telescopic one I'd bought from nowhere important. I decided I needed to invest in a real "manly" umbrella; black as the night's watch and so smart that it would be something the great Gatsby would consider for his rainy days out in the town. This is why I went for the Fulton Hunter.This umbrella offers a sophisticated look to the user, one that should be accompanied by a trench coat, smart shoes and sandalwood fragrance. But hey, the umbrella is a good start to all of that.First of all, i'm re-editing my original review. I bought this in November 2011 it's now May 2013 and the umbrella is still going strong. The wood is wearing slightly revealing a less tasteful white; likely redwood, underneath the pleasant veneer. This is the only downside.Secondly, the pro's of which there are many... It's robust, it must have been since it's survived this long. It's heavy for an umbrella, giving it a sturdy feel. It looks elegant when closed and open. This isn't a golf so you can't fit a crowd underneath it, however if you're trying to pull that special lady close to you then it's a sure thing.Finally, the crooked handle. Ah, the uses this has. Firstly, it hooks around you arm if you're faffing. It hooks over bars, rails and banisters which is invaluable and it allows for the twirly motions of nonchalance one can exhibit as a young, sophisticated gentleman.But don't be mistaken into thinking this umbrella can only be used to keep off the rain. I have found many uses for it in the last years. Knocking apples off trees in autumn (I've never done this). Catching lift doors as they're about to close (Many a time done this). Spontaneously re-enacting the eccentric walk down those stairs in the original Willy Wonka film with Gene Wilder (I've been asked never to do this again). Finally, resting assured that should you need it, this would be invaluable in a zombie apocalypse. In tandem with a handy cast iron skillet I think the combo would allow for swift dispatch of undead foe whilst maintaining their normal useful uses.A true investment.

Have tried so many umbrellas but they just cannot stay strong in the uk winds, this umbrella however is perfect its nice and spacious, fancy looking handle and it can hold against the winds which is what i was looking for!! amazing buy

I’ve gone through numerous umbrellas. I walk a lot in heavy rain and strong winds. Perfect umbrella for that. Do not have to hold arm up high as with a compact umbrella.Considering size it is light in weight. Has not blown inside out. Keeps me dry. Automatic open is easy. Don’t feel like you’re going to take off. Manual close works very well.I bought a small ferrule to protect the pointy end. Very elegant. Well-pleased.

Stylish and excellent quality and construction.

wow this is a truly amazing item

The umbrella arrived in perfects shape, well protected in shipping. It opens / closes smoothly; the "mechanism" looks like it is going to last; the wooden handle looks a bit fragile and will probably show scratches easily, but you can either keep on the original seal supplied by the manufacturer or coat the handle with some poly for the extra protection. Yes, it is made in China (What do you expect for the price?), and I have looked at other options, but they were out of my budget, and the quality did not seem that much better. While this is not the fanciest umbrella I have seen, it seems to be a very good quality for the cost. I cannot wait to gift it to the recipient!

I've been buying these for over a decade, only because I occasionally forget them somewhere and honestly can't blame anyone for taking the ones I've left behind.The double ribs on these are so strong I've only ever had them flip once (and that was during a very powerful wind storm), and when they did, they popped back into shape perfectly without a fuss. All manual operation, which is a plus to me because it's fewer things that can fail, opens with a satisfying WHUFF and keeps me dry and looking cool.Elegant, classic, very durable, and very reasonably priced for such a good product. Now if I could just remember to take them with me after it stops raining...

Muy buena calidad

It's just so easy to use and so strong it automatically opens with the click of a button you just need to close it manually after, it's extremely wide, can fit two people easily and it has such a cool basic design it's literally worth all the money. It got delivered in 4 days which isn't really the fastest but I'm still giving it 5 stars. ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT!! ✨

Dieser Schirm wird manuell geöffnet und geschlossen, was problemlos funktioniert. Er ist nicht besonders groß, aber auch stabiler als viele kompakte, faltbare Modelle.Die Verarbeitung wirkt solide, und selbst bei Wind hält der Schirm gut stand. Insgesamt bin ich zufrieden – ein robuster Alltagsbegleiter, wenn man auf automatische Mechanik verzichten kann.
