Re: Windproof brolly
 

mine already looks like that BECAUSE of the wind.

I suspect you would get lots of peope telling you that your umbrella is broken if you whip that out on lambton quay...

Windproof brolly in Wellington ???? ................. yeah right !!!!!!!!!!

Re: Windproof brolly
 

For any would-be Wellingtonians alarmed at reading this, there are canopies everywhere in Wellington city - so it is possible to walk along in the rain without actually getting particularly wet. This is just as well as I'm sure any umbrella here would be broken in a few seconds if out in a gust (I've never bothered even trying one out as all umbrellas seem to break on me on first use)....a rainproof coat with a hood is your best bet really.

There's always tourists' brollies in the bins on the harbour front on a breezy day!

I used to live in Peterhead (Scotland) and an umbrella would end up looking like a huge wineglass on a stick over your head.........haven't bought an umbrella since living there :eek:
