"Double Canopy" Umbrella Stands Up To Strong Winds
You'll have trouble finding a gust of wind strong enough to turn this umbrella inside out, thanks to a patented vented mesh system that's built into it.
  The Windbrella has two canopies. The upper canopy is made of nylon fabric specially treated to resist fading from ultraviolet light. The lower canopy contains a vented mesh system with reinforced center material. The venting system allows air to pass between the top and bottom canopies, preventing the umbrella from going inside-out in strong winds.
  "If the umbrella ever does invert, just pull on the lower canopy and it'll pop right back over," says the company. "The umbrella's frame is made from heavy duty, lightweight fiberglass. If it inverts it won't rip away from the fabric or bend out of shape."
  The umbrella also has a fiberglass shaft and a rubber handle. An automatic push button opening system on the handle provides smooth opening and closing, and uses a patented pinch-less runner to prevent pinched fingers.
  Several models are available in a variety of different colors. The smallest one has a 44 in. canopy and the largest one, a patio umbrella, has a 9-ft. canopy. Comes with a matching carry case with shoulder strap.
  Prices start at $25 plus S&H for a 44-in. model and range up to $249 plus S&H for the 9-ft. patio model.
