Large ‘heavy duty’ golf umbrella is ‘just the ticket’ in bad weather

There’s no getting away from the fact that we’re in the midst of some terrible weather – constant rain and some flood warnings make it clear that summer is well and truly over. So it makes sense that if you still want to go about your daily life, you’ll need to be armed with a proper umbrella.

And Amazon has just the deal to see you through these autumn showers. It currently has fast-shipping stock of the excellent Ninemax Large Golf Umbrella in a wide range of colours and sizes, with prices ranging from £21.99 to £25.99 depending on what you select.

That might mean a gorgeous blue umbrella in the largest size possible to ensure that it can cover multiple people, or it could be a smaller black number for a stealthier personal option. Either way, you’ll get a really sturdy design that has some ventilation in its canopy to help the umbrella be more wind-resistant.

It’s designed as a golf umbrella – with a simple straight handle meaning it’ll fit into most golf carts – but it’s not just for enthusiasts of the sport. It’ll protect you whatever you’re doing, and with a simple push button for opening, it’s easy to use.

Over 2,300 people have left behind ratings after buying this umbrella, and these average out to 4.6 stars at the time of writing. One happy user said: “Open and close is super smooth. Comes with a cover that allows you to sling it over your shoulder. Very big, windproofing slits. Foam handle. Two velcro straps to tie up when down.”

Another customer wrote: “This umbrella was exactly as advertised. Used on a very wet and windy day and it withstood the elements well (did not blow inside out) and dried off very quickly. The mechanism makes it so easy to put up quickly with no fuss.” A third, meanwhile, added: “I absolutely love this umbrella, the lightness of it, the quality, size is perfect, very sturdy and it looks class great value for money.”

Others have been more critical, though, like one person who said: “A nice big umbrella but unfortunately not strong enough to be used in the wind, it turned inside out the first time used. However it was fixable so at least it wasn’t destroyed.” Another griped: “Mechanism is good and stops me getting wet, but the fabric is papery and doesn’t fold up neatly.”

There are countless other brollies out there to consider. A Uniqlo you could pick up a much smaller option, its Unisex Compact Umbrella, for £19.50 in a range of colours. For those wanting something more traditional, London Undercover has a large Navy & Black Watch Tartan Classic Umbrella for £95. 

If you want a big umbrella that doesn’t break the bank, though, it looks like Amazon’s Ninemax Large Golf Umbrella is the perfect choice. It keeps costs down but still looks really sturdy and classy, making it ideal for this drizzly time of year.
