I picked up a Procella golf umbrella, 68 inch canopy, it has withstood 45 mph wind tunnel tests and has a lifetime warranty (make sure you register it when it arrives).

It's big but not too big I'm 6'0 and it has great UV screening as well if you're playing golf that comes in handy. Has a sleeve you can put it in and carry it over your shoulder.

Had it for almost 6 months now and it's still in great shape. Last umbrella I had was a Cutter and Buck umbrella, lasted for 7 years.

39 bucks for the procella, definitely worth it.

There was nothing that I left at home that I wished I had brought with me. But there were things that I brought with me that I should have left at home. You can always buy things along the way - clothes are the easiest to buy, but if you have a favourite style/brand of underwear, that would be the only thing I would recommend you take enough of.

Minimize adapters, chargers, cords as much as you can. I found that a good power board/strip (with USB) and 3m cord came in very handy, similar to this, where you can plug in your gadgets, etc from your country, but just use one adapter. And the long cords helps in hotel rooms and apartments so you can maximise your work area.

A large collapsible umbrella. Many here I am sure would find it unnecessary, but if you are travelling for work (in tropical areas especially) and need to get places dry, a good large umbrella is worth its weight in gold. You might only use it a few times a month, but it keeps you and your things dry. Don't go for a small "travel size" one, get a large, automatic-opening one like this.

It does depend on how much you will be moving around. If you are only moving every 2-3 weeks, that would be very different to if you were moving every 2-3 days. Too much luggage is just a PITA to get to from hotels/airports, no matter who is paying for it. I used a baglike this one and started with 20kg (absolutely full!), but now I have left some things behind and it is 16kg, plus I always have a small backpack for my laptop/electronics and a change of clothes for carryon. Less is best.

I PM'ed you my answers. :) Thanks for the contest, darling. Either this or this would be very awesome. Thank you!

I got an umbrella that opens the opposite way recently (like this one on Amazon although this isn't the exact one I have, it was a gift so IDK where it came from) and I finally got to use it and it's awesome! It works PERFECTLY for getting in the car.

Don't have a specific recommendation, but golf umbrellas are designed to withstand high winds and will keep you more dry than the dinky little umbrella's you get at the drug store. I've had the same one that I got at a charity outing for 3 years now. This one has mostly positive amazon reviews and is under $20.

A lot of people use the Camp Time Stool. It's the one Dynamic Discs sells with their custom seats. I've had it and a cheap one from Amazon and the Camp Time is MUCH better. It's wider so it puts less pressure on the man bits, IME.

As for an umbrella, I love my large Gust Buster.

The GustBuster 48" Umbrella would fit the bill nicely. Very sturdy, a handsome wooden handle, and a vented top to prevent getting turned inside out when the wind picks up. I have had one for two years now and it looks just the same as the day I bought it.

Get a parasol! They come in so many pretty designs. If you want to have one that is double duty, sun and rain, get a UV blocker umbrella. They come in pretty designs too. Here's a regular umbrella that blocks sun https://www.amazon.com/Sun-Rain-Travel-Umbrella-Lightweight/dp/B07D6646J6

or something like these. UPF is like SPF but for fabric. UPF 50 means it blocks 99% of UVA and UVB rays so don't get confused and think it doesn't offer good protection. This is a rain umbrella too https://www.amazon.com/Nicecho-UPF-Fashion-Lace-Umbrella/dp/B00W5MOI8G/

Hidden skulls https://www.amazon.com/MINGXIN011-triple-folding-umbrella-printed-protection/dp/B013SK52QA

Or just nice shaped (I have these, they work great) https://www.amazon.com/Migobi-Folding-Flouncing-Compact-Umbrella/dp/B014HFAAEY

And I just realized I was posting tons of umbrellas. They are really awesome for blocking the sun if you get the ones that are made to block it and are rated at high levels. It is so much cooler under an umbrella like this and I can stay out in the sun so much longer.

Although most people don't pay much attention to umbrellas, here are some nice features to look for:

• 210T fabric
  
• UV protection (to double up as a parasol)
  
• 10 ribs
  
• Steel or carbon fiber construction
  
  Additionally, if you prefer portable umbrellas, get one with an auto-close button. It will keep you dry when entering a vehicle.
  
  If you prefer large/ full-size umbrellas, get an inverted umbrella. They don't become a wet mess when you bring them indoors, and also close in very narrow spaces.
  
  Also, look for a strap that is not Velcro, as Velcro isn't the most durable mechanism compared to magnets or even a button. Finally, make sure the canopy is at least 105 cm wide. Any smaller, and the umbrella won't keep you dry on a windy day.
  
  Edit: for those who are asking, I recommend either this portable umbrella or this full size umbrella.

It’s usually called either UFO Raincoat or Hands Free Raincoat

This is just one example of the product. Enjoy the search!

These are the best umbrellas. So many useful features you didnt realize you needed. https://www.amazon.com/Reverse-Folding-Inverted-Umbrella-Carrying/dp/B01LYUV9L3/ May not be the best manufacturer, do some shopping

I just got a golf umbrella (the really huge ones) from Amazon so I'm protected during rain and shine. [This] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ESJ80JQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_WUCSgGdVDNByPis) the one I got.

I can attest to its strength in harsh rains because I got caught in a heavy storm yesterday. 😅

My friends in real weather places recommend this:

GustBuster Classic 48-Inch Automatic Golf Umbrella (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0009GGIFG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_Z9cJwbDE0NMQ6

I bought this one after a recommendation on this subreddit. Exactly what I wanted. Have had it about a year and love it.

If you live somewhere windy, I can not recommend the GustBuster enough. It is the best umbrella I’ve ever owned. I used it during 50 mph winds and it did not invert!

I've been very happy with my Gustbuster. I've used it frequently for about three years now, and it still looks basically new.

I got myself (and the entire village) the Haas-Jordan 68-Inch Hurricane 345 Tour Plus Umbrella. It's sturdy, has flaps, and is large enough to have a stroll with your loved one.

I personally bought one of these about a year ago, and it's survived storms that others have not

After buying that one, I bought two of these in black for my girlfriend in the navy

Basically, having fiberglass ribs makes all of the difference. They're round and don't break worth a shit.

Man, what? I got this umbrella off of Amazon for like $20 at the time and it's held up well.

My bf just got The Gustbuster. He likes it.

Average 4 stars - so pretty good. And this one's even better apparently:

Oh, and so's this one:

5 stars!

You accidentally sent me a link that had a filter applied to only show the 12% of one star views, by the way.

Ive got one of these thats about three years old now and has held up well.

GustBuster Proseries Gold 62-Inch Golf Umbrella (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0009GGIKQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_iFm0BbAAJ1YJZ

GustBuster umberellas are much cheaper than Davek and can withstand really high winds. I'm thinking of buying one of the large ones.

Should you want to, you can buy this frame:
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NALNW0N/

It has a 54 inch span, which you can cut down if necessary because it's made of fiberglass or some kind of plastic.

I've bought several of these over the years and not one has ever turned inside out, even in serious wind. I've only had to buy replacements because I lose them occasionally.
