With intelligent design and engineering, the Blunt Umbrella is a far superior umbrella compared to the typical umbrella we see littered on streets after a a rough storm. With their Radial Tensioning System they've designed an umbrella with a beautiful aesthetic and more importantly is one that you can depend upon. - Навчання та стиль
This is a great review. Very informative. Helps decision-making easier. Thank you for your effort and time in this.
Thank you for the feedback! We're glad the video is helpful :) Thanks for dropping by. Cheers!
This is the best review ever. Thank you!
Wow, thanks! Glad it was helpful. Cheers
I never knew the importance of a sturdy umbrella until i was in Istanbul 2 weeks ago...it was a strong windy day and i saw several people frustrated and threw their broken umbrella on the streets... my cheap compact umbrella bought in Barcelona broke too
this is beautiful content. ngl my eyes widened at the mention of gear
I'd love to see you review Weatherman Umbrellas range too
Great ad my dude!
Thanks for the visit! We appreciate it :)
I now have 3 blunt umbrellas. A classic for me. A coupe for my 15 year old and a metro for my 13 year old. I’m sick of broken umbrellas
That's fantastic! Blunt umbrellas are known for their durability and sleek design, so it sounds like you've made a wise choice. No more dealing with broken umbrellas-enjoy the reliable protection from the rain for you and your family. The classic, coupe, and metro styles should cover all your needs in different situations. Here's to staying dry and stylish:)☔
Same, the metro, the classic and the largest one. Most people in Wellington use blunt umbrellas because it is a windy City, and the rain can go sideways because of it lol. It's the only umbrella that can handle the winds here.
@silajeep1 Looks like I'll be getting one I'm from Wellington 😂
I saw the Blunt website used to have a separate 2019 version of the metro, do you know the difference between that one and the one they are selling now?
What an amazing review ! I was wondering if you could do a comparison video with blunt and Davek umbrella?
Great suggestion!
Never heard about Blunt, but around 7 years ago a throw wind inverted my last umbrella that had held for many many years... after that I got a Senz, which is a storm umbrella, so far, its held up great in any winds during the last 7 years. Including storms.
Except for tension, they also make use more of an airfoil design as well as have a cutout on the frontside so they don't obscure vision. So being one of the known good storm umbrellas, any newcomer on the market should be compared to Senz before I would even take a look at them. They are also tested in wind tunnels beyond 100km/h. They look funky, but work well.
Would have loved to see more of a deep-dive from this review to compare it to a known good umbrella. If they are even remotely close to them, they would be easy to recommend in a heartbeat. Blunt does seem to have a more classical shape, while the angular Senz can be seen as slightly odd.
Well disagree.. I had a Senz umbrella, couldn't even hold a simple storm in the Netherlands, wasted 40 bucks for nothing..
@@orno6621 Which model was it, the small very portable one, or the larger one with a fixed core, I have the XXL so its one of the larger ones, a friend of mine has the smaller foldable one which isn't rated for as much wind, but for him it has held up fine.
But if it didn't hold up, they have a 2+1 year warranty so at least you get a new one for free.
I am trying to decide between the Blunt Metro and the Coupe. I am concerned about the Quick Release button on the Metro, as I had another umbrella with this button that broke the day after I bought it. I am confused because in the video you write that this button opens the canopy, but it appears that it just lengthens the umbrella rod. Can you please clarify?
Both the Blunt Metro and Blunt Coupe umbrellas are high-quality products that offer excellent protection against the rain and wind. However, if you're concerned about the durability of the Quick Release button on the Blunt Metro umbrella, the Blunt Coupe might be a better option for you.
The Blunt Coupe umbrella doesn't have a Quick Release button, which means it doesn't have any moving parts that could potentially break. Instead, it uses a simple and reliable sliding mechanism to open and close the umbrella.
That being said, the Quick Release button on the Blunt Metro umbrella is designed to be durable and long-lasting, so it's unlikely to break easily. If you're still interested in the Blunt Metro umbrella, you could consider reading customer reviews to see if anyone has reported any issues with the Quick Release button.
Ultimately, the decision between the Blunt Metro and Blunt Coupe umbrellas comes down to personal preference. If you prefer a compact umbrella with a Quick Release button for easy opening and closing, the Blunt Metro might be the better choice. If you prefer a more traditional umbrella with a simple and reliable mechanism, the Blunt Coupe might be the way to go.
Winds here in the Philippines are merciless right now, I positioned my umbrella toward the wind so it wont be turned inside out but then the wind blowed on the opposite direction!
It felt like strong waves on the shore! It will slap you in the face then pull you ahahaha
Keep safe and stay dry, Justine! 🙏
Can I put the metro with its carry sleeve in the Aer slang bag 3?
The amount of bad luck from opening up all them umbrellas inside... 🤣
haha yeah, that's why we got Ed to do it... we weren't going to open that many umbrellas inside. - Daniel
@@RushfasterTVlmao 😂
very good
Thank you! Cheers!
you didn't cover whether or not the metro also collapses with a button release... pretty important feature to cover. it looked like a button press does open automatically however but you didn't make that definitive either.
It doesn't. The metro closes only by manual closing
Do you think that the Metro version provides sufficient coverage to rain when carrying a backpack?
For the Blunt Metro Compact Umbrella, with its 39 inches coverage when open, is designed primarily to provide adequate protection for an individual from rain. While it offers a decent coverage area, it may not provide sufficient coverage to shield both an individual and a backpack from rain simultaneously.
how about the wind test from the other direction where it turns the unbrella inside out?
Check this video out!

It's using an older model from Blunt but nevertheless shows how powerful the canopy structure is! Hope that helps - Ed
@@RushfasterTV came here to ask the same thing. Buying a Metro and a sport now. Sollldddddd
This is great video 👍
Thank you! 👍
People: Do not open an umbrella inside your house because it brings bad luck.
This guy: Hold my bear
I bought a Metro and a Sport. The Sport broke the first day I used it, inverting two times at the beach. Warranty replaced, so that was cool. The warranty replacement Sport also broke on the first use at the golf course. Absolutely pathetic.
The Metro inverts all the time, but hasn't failed yet. To bad it's not big enough to protect multiple people.
So blunt metro best for wind right ?
Hmm... Blunt umbrella or davek umbrellas stronger?
Is the Metro handle fixed? Or does then main canopy spin when you’re holding the handle?
It will spin if you catch it on something.
Surprised there was no mention of the built in AirTag or Chipolo slip.
Hmm... true... that's a perfect use for the new AirTags! Esp as they're $$ umbrellas.
Is it included on all of the models?
@@nathantempleton4324 I bought Metro few months ago, sadly dosent have a slip for it like on older models
I have two Blunt Classics....best umbrellas ever.
Cheers! Thanks for watching. - Prikee
Hey can you do a review about maxpedition backpacks etc please
We’ll look into it - but can’t make any promises! :)
@@RushfasterTV thx🤙
is this patented? Would like to manufacture these if they work
Yes, Blunt umbrellas are patented. Blunt is a New Zealand-based company that has patented its unique Radial Tensioning System, which reinforces the canopy of the umbrella and makes it more wind-resistant. The company also holds patents for other features of its umbrellas, such as the Blunt Tips, which prevent the umbrella from poking and causing injury. Additionally, Blunt holds a number of design patents for the appearance of its umbrellas.
It's important to note that patent laws can be complex, and it's always a good idea to consult with a patent attorney to ensure that you're not infringing on any patents or trademarks if you're interested in manufacturing or selling a similar product.
11 x $10 umbrellas before i break even on 1 blunt metro though...
But think about the environmental cost!
There's the OEM version of these. Blunt merely printed their logo on top of it
@@lesliegrace8360 where can i find them?
@@AlbertoPaganotto There's a chinese seller selling these under "OLYCAT" brand: www.amazon.com/OLYCAT-Creative-Umbrella-Windproof-Umbrellas/dp/B088672L5C
www.aliexpress.com/item/4000804877103.html
@@lesliegrace8360 I think you'll find in fact that the one you mentioned is a copycat rather than oem.
They should make a smaller version, then i will buy because none of these will fit in my purse/backpack
yellow one kinda small
Correct. That's the smallest/most compact Blunt umbrella at this time. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for tuning in! We're hope you're loving our review for Blunt umbrellas! We'll forward your feedback to the Blunt brand for future designs. Stay dry and stylish! 🌂
there's about 500 other umbrellas that cost a fraction of this, including rounded corner ones... part of making a good product is being able to get it to people for a reasonable price, $100 for an item that averages about $10 is a little excessive imo.
@@frankbooth1298 Well generally speaking there’s a sweet spot price for products when it comes to well made and durable where spending more likely results in an inferior “luxury” or “designer” product, for instance jeans and clothes are notorious for this, where the highest priced items are poorly made and not durable and just cost lots of money to make with rare or light materials or similar, or worse are identical to other products with simply a highly advertised name attached. German products also have a reputation to be over engineered to a point they’re inferior and less durable but simply cost more to make.
I went with a $20 Amazon umbrella with a light on the bottom, used maybe a dozen times now a couple of times in very windy conditions and had no issues. If money was no object I’d maybe want a super light luxury umbrella but from what I can tell the durability aspect isn’t where the moneys going for $100+ umbrellas, that’s luxury/weight/name territory.
Price?

Yo wow you don't have sell something at every turn bro, jeez
After dealing with this company I'd rather throw it away.
Hi Tommo, so sorry to hear about that. Please reach out to us at care@teamrushfaster.com.au if you got the Blunt umbrella from us. We're happy to help. Have a good one!
What… an umbrella called “metro Safe Space alliance…” - no thanks, I’ll pass. 😳 🤣
Could do without the 1 minute of introductions...
there were comparisons between blunt and hedgehog. Shows that hedgehog is so much better.
Hmm interesting! We’ll look into Hedgehog!
I thought opening an umbrella inside was bad luck..
Let's hope not ... for Ed's sake!
An umbrella review without testing it yourself? Really? And the problem with umbrellas in the wind is flipping/inverting. Blowing wind at the top of the umbrella doesn’t address the flipping issue in windy situations. This review is pretty useless.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. We are committed to continuously improving our content - Kez
My metro has flipped several times and each time it reverted back undamaged, so yeah, in good with this blunt brolly and now I have 3 of different sizes
stop lying, strongest umbrella is Hedgehog!
Are u a real user ? And how about the real durability for a long time ?
Both Blunt and Hedgehog are well-known umbrella brands that are designed to withstand strong winds and harsh weather conditions. While both brands are highly regarded, it's difficult to say which one is stronger as it depends on the specific model and features of each umbrella.
Blunt is a New Zealand-based company that is known for its patented Radial Tensioning System, which reinforces the canopy of the umbrella and makes it more wind-resistant. Blunt also offers a range of umbrella sizes and styles, including compact and golf umbrellas.
Hedgehog, on the other hand, is a US-based company that offers umbrellas with a unique aerodynamic design. The umbrella's shape helps to redirect wind gusts and prevent it from inverting. Hedgehog also offers a range of colors and styles, including travel and golf umbrellas.
Both brands have loyal customers who appreciate their quality and durability, and both offer warranties for their products. Ultimately, the choice between Blunt and Hedgehog will depend on your specific needs and preferences, such as the style and size of the umbrella, the level of wind-resistance required, and your budget. It's recommended to read reviews of specific models from each brand to determine which one is best suited for your needs.
Does the classic come with a carrying case?
Sadly, the core range Coupe and Classic models do not currently come with carry sleeves 😞
