  Umbrellas make more sense in places that expect rain most days.

    I feel like in those places a good raincoat actually makes more sense than an umbrella.

  The primary function of most umbrellas is marketing.

  If you want an umbrella that works better on (slightly) windy days you’re going to want one with a dome that covers further down over your head and is transparent, so you can see through it. These don’t break as easily in the wind, but of course any umbrella works like a sail.

  That’s not my experience in my local areas. I guess we just don’t tend to have strong winds, and you do see a ton of people with umbrellas doing just fine
