I mean, have you ever tried to buy an umbrella for those crazy British winds? It's like they're designed to turn inside out the second it gets windy! I remember last winter, I bought this super cheap one and it literally fell apart after 2 uses. But then I saw that article about these top brands that can actually withstand the gusts... now I'm thinking of splurging on a fancy one for next winter
Which brollies make sturdy investments and which are flimsy flappers? I hiked up a Peak District hill to find out

I totally get why investing in a good umbrella can be such a challenge 
️... I mean, who hasn't been there, right? Like, I remember this one time when I went hiking with friends and we got absolutely thrashed by the wind... my old crappy umbrella literally fell apart on me 
. But anyway, back to the article... it's so true that you get what you pay for, right? I mean, if you're gonna shell out £60, expect a top-notch product 
. I think it's also interesting that they tested 15 different umbrellas... that's like, whoa 
. It's crazy how some of those cheaper ones just can't handle the British weather

It's crazy how some of those cheaper ones just can't handle the British weather .I totally feel you on that! I remember this one time when I was on a hike in the mountains and got caught in a freak storm 
. My trusty old umbrella literally turned inside out in like, 2 seconds! I was soaked to the bone and had to take shelter in a nearby cave. Needless to say, I won't be investing in any more of those flimsy ones anytime soon . For me, it's all about spending that extra cash on something that'll last, you know? Even if it means breaking the bank every now and then.
