I am looking for a standard-sized or large umbrella which I can hook over my arm when it is folded (i.e. not a straight handle like a golf umbrella or tiny coverage like a handbag sized umbrella).
Woodworm umbrellas seem to come up on Ozbargain (e.g. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/153666) nearly as often as Eneloop batteries or Dick Smith sales (!) but they always seem to have straight handles.
Any recommendations?
I saw some folded umbrella in plain black and some in grey pattern with hook handle in Woolworth. They are $9.95 each.
Have you tried them? I am looking for something with a reasonable quality, not necessarily the lowest price. Last time I bought a supermarket umbrella it did not last long.
I have the one below and it is decent quality. I work in the CBD and the building create a wind tunnel and it has not failed me yet.

I have a couple of these - more spokes than usual = stronger. And smart looking too, which is handy for work. Good size for the city too - (ie not an oversized golf umbrella that takes up half the footpath)

Bump!
Any suggestions for a good replacement umbrella after the recent NSW storms?
