Uzi Tactical Self Defense Umbrella – Windproof Unbreakable Fiberglass with Carbide Tip - Lightweight, Large, Portable, Travel Umbrella for Men & Women – Combat-Ready for Rain, Snow & Wind

Just feeling the build of the umbrella, before you even open it screams top quality. Removing the rubber tip exposes a super hard spear-like point. This is a very serious self-defense item by a world class manufacturer!

All the macho self defense stuff was kinda nifty, but what really sold me was that the canopy was rated to 60mph winds. As an umbrella, it's great. It opens strongly with the push of a button all by itself. Closes easily. It has reflective tape around the outer edge. It does a great job simply as an umbrella.

I had an Unbreakable walking stick umbrella that I unfortunately misplaced while outside so rather than shell out that much for another one I decided to see what was comparable here on Amazon. This is a third the price but comparable build quality. In fact the ribs for the canopy skeleton are even higher quality because the fiberglass ribs are thicker than what was on the unbreakable model I had. That's probably not likely to be a problem area though. The weak point is where the plastic connectors attach to the fiberglass ribs. If you get a sharp pull on the umbrella at an angle that flips one side up hard first rather than the whole thing that plastic is what will fail. I managed to do that on my unbreakable model while testing it when i did a baseball swing on it with the canopy deployed. It inverted the umbrella as expected but that was when the plastic connector broke. Was no big deal because that umbrella had a 5 year warranty on everything but the canopy fabric and they reimbursed me on the shipping to repair it. If that happens on this umbrella you're out of luck since I doubt many people would be able to DIY a repair on that. The fiberglass shaft on this one is rated for 220 lbs. unbreakable is 310. Unbreakable canopy is dual layered and has a UV protectant coating and this one does not. Now the umbrella tip and the price is where the big difference comes in. The tip on this one is much more aggressive and can do some serious damage. The one on the unbreakable model was rounded steel so less effective for defense than this but more subtle so easier to pass through security checks such as airports. The included hard plastic cap that this comes with slips off a little too easy for my liking so what i did was rolled some blue painters tape in a loop and stuck it to the inside of the cap to take up that little extra space and now it fits pretty snugly. You can get replacement canopies for the unbreakable model but for what they cost you could just purchase a new one of these. Still have yet to try it out in the rain but so far I'm liking the value proposition on this one if you are leaning more towards the value and defensive side of things while still getting a sturdy umbrella that isn't going in the trash the first time it gets inverted like the cheap ones at local retailers. Tip is better, umbrella is cheaper, and it is not as big of a loss if you lose it. If they made the joints out of fiberglass as well and used a thicker UV resistant canopy and sold it as a replacement part for when it wears out at a decent price they could easily charge double what this costs now and it would be worth it.

This umbrella is great--and not just as a weapon. It is an incredibly sturdy umbrella. I also like the fact that it is indeed a weapon. It's really easy to remove the cover on the top, which reveals a giant metal spike--on your umbrella! Why do you need an umbrella that is also a weapon? I mean, why not? Why buy normal gloves when you can buy gloves that are filled with lead? Why buy a normal cane when you can buy a cane that has a sword in it? Why buy a normal comb when you can buy a comb that has a knife secreted inside? Why carry your keys on a normal keychain when you can carry them on a keychain that also has a small club attached? Why live a normal, boring, sedate suburban life when you can live a life surrounded by cool and interesting weapons and violent little gadgets, just like you dreamed about when you were a young boy? Just buy the umbrella, it rules.

This is the umbrella one would want to stay dry. It is also the umbrella one would want if he were surprised by an assailant in a dark alley. I put a cane tip on mine. It functions as a cane very well. The tip cover comes off easily to expose a sharp, heavy, metal point. Quite nice. PW

My GF works in a building that has federal offices in it but the parking lot is on a public street and unfortunately they do little to chase away the more sketchy city dwellers. They no longer allow employees to carry a knife, petter spray, tear gas or any form of personal defense item regardless of the dangers in the parking lot. It’s also a rainy area. So I bought her a good quality, wind resistant umbrella with a nice metal tip. It’s allowed as a personal item and not considered a weapon so she has both rain and personal protection while following the rules. It’s high quality and she likes it a lot.

Hefty weight (helpful for defense uses) Length is good (useful as a walking stick when not in use) Opening is slow and controlled (less violent than prior umbrella, lower risk of damage) Color looks nice (edges having seemingly reflective material unexpected, but appreciated) No complaints about build quality yet (too early to judge long-term) Not yet had chance to stress-test wind resistance

I have been an outdoor runner for over 30 years and in those 30 years, I have been subjected to charging untrained dogs that people have not adequately trained or supervised over a dozen times. I’ve always carried something for self-defense just in case. I haven’t had to use this in self-defense yet, but I feel more safe and secure to do my outdoor activities when rain is a possibility.

awesome product

Es de construcción resistente y es pesado, tiene buen tamaño y se siente que sí sirve para soltar golpes. Asumiendo que no lo vas a usar seguido para golpear, o que se te olvide cuando salgas de un lugar, es un paraguas que te puede durar para toda la vida.

Der Schirm macht einen hervorragenden Eindruck. Sehr stabil wie angegeben. Auch das Schirmgewebe ist sehr gut. Leider ist die Schirmhülle nicht so hochwertig. Der Tragegurt war beim auspacken schon abgerissen. Es lohnt nicht deshalb den ganzen Schirm zurück zu geben. Also eine/n stabilere/ n Schirmhülle suchen. L.G E.S
