I live in Portland, OR, where we have two kinds of weather in the winter: Raining Hard, and Drizzle. An avid golfer like me needs everything to be waterproof right down to my underwear (which comes in handy for many reasons) and, of course, a trusty umbrella.

I'm not sure you're going to find a better one than this GustBuster. This bad boy has been tested at the College of Aeronautics in Queens, NY, and will not invert in winds of 55 miles per hour. It has been featured on CNN, GoodDay NY, Regis and Kathy Lee, and Talk Soup.

The coolest thing about it for us golfers is the fiberglass shaft. This is important for those rounds we play in the lighting. Sure, we still may be swinging our steel shafted irons, but at least our umbrella is fiberglass! I also like the classic looking hardwood J-handle.

The umbrella measures 48 inches in diameter and is 36 inches long. This is the manual version. It also comes in an automatic. Finally, it comes with a lifetime warranty, so I guess that means this is the last umbrella you're going to need to buy

"…but that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red…" Who cares if it's raining, let's go golfing.

Well, I thought that too -- until I saw the one by Davek. This is the Traveler umbrella, and the one I looked at was in a cranberry red. At first I was skeptical, maybe because of the color (which is pretty bright), or maybe just because I expected less.

As I like gadgets, the first thing I thought was neat was the push button open and close function. Plus, if the umbrella ever inverts, a simple push of the button will actually correct themselves and return to closed position. Very cool.

The frame is very strong, and it is actually reinforced with fiberglass ligaments and has a solid steel shaft to prevent breakage. It has a strap for carrying, but also can be easily placed in a side pocket on a golf bag. It is extremely thin, but surprisingly strong and very water-repellent. (You would hope so.)

Here's the best thing: It carries a lifetime guarantee. If at any time while you own the umbrella it fails because of a defect in the material or workmanship, Davek will repair or replace it.

Think the price looks too high? Not if it's literally the last umbrella you ever have to buy.
