Repel Umbrella Review - Real Live Wind Testing

I put Repel umbrella in real live wind testing. It is neither windproof nor blizzard proof. I think a real windproof umbrella should survive at least 50 mph or above, so this umbrella failed in my test.

[@WhoTheHellisKeith]

If you're out in 60mph winds I really think an umbrella not lasting a minute should be the least of your concerns

[@chongvue9365]

Next up testing bulletproof vests....shoots 50bmg followed by antitank rounds...nope not bulletproof

😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@chelastrayer7433]

By the test, the Repel Umbrella performs extremely WELL - above Any Other - It is ILLOGICAL to think that an umbrella can stand winds of 40+ speed!! His expectations are absurd. This guy should design an umbrella made of STEEL for himself.

best comment🤣🤣🤣

Because of this video i will buy 10 of these. Thank you. ✌️

[@jesus9038]

You sold me. Buying mine now

I think your bar is a bit too high for "wind proof", who's gonna be outside 45 mph winds. Plus, the way people hold an umbrella in the rain cause the wind to attack from the umbrella's underside. Your test imposed high aerodynamic stress on the umbrella's outside, which is stress it may not have been designed to handle at the magnitudes tested in your video.

Have you been to Vancouver?

[@gordonfreeman3419]

Guys a wind that travels 40mph is hazardous, nobody in the right mind is going to walk while there’s a 40mph wind outside.

[@kiaratulei3427]

on a normal sunny day in new zealand the wind is 45km per hour, gets worse when its rainy etc

[@dylanpowell3071]

@@kiaratulei3427 45 km per hour is actually close to 25 miles per hour

[@unocarb]

I have one and I have no desire testing it in a hurricane so yes it works just fine for normal use

[@laurieforbes7269]

Actually, this is pretty impressive to me; it's a beautiful umbrella, and I doubt I'll be walking in 40 mph winds.

[@cliffmathew]

Thanks. Looks like it withstood very well. Thumbs up to the brand! What I am really curious about is whether it can avoid flipping within reasonable wind speeds.

[@taiguy]

this is actually fairly impressive.

[@spamcan9208]

Really?! This is impressive as hell. You subjected this to a sustained turbulent wake coming off your car. The anomemeter was likely understating wind speed based on where it was. Unless you're a freak, your hand would have let go by now and you'd be struggling to walk.

[@mikechivy]

What the fuck did I just watch? I guess you cant drag this behind a car at 50 MPH. Dang

[@JC-ye7pj]

I didn't know Joe Satriani did umbrella wind tests.

[@xlr8also]

Next time I'm riding on the outside of a car on the parkway I'll remember not to use my Repel umbrella. Silly test.

[@cadd9511]

Can you post a video of a better unbiased test you performed comparing a few umbrellas?

[@StopFear]

Cadd For a more real test someone has to be in the truck of the car and move the umbrella to have different angles face the wind or under the umbrella. They should also move it in and out of the truck to simulate wind gusts

[@ab85main73]

Lmaooo savage test, two thumbs up from me 👍👍

[@kiaratulei3427]

does it blow up if held normally ? need to see if it turns inside out

[@JayLang7]

Ok ! You wasn’t kidding around!

[@jonathanchacon503]

Where do i buy one or two??

[@jammin1881]

Good video but doesn't simulate gusts. Even the leading brands tested up to 60mph probably wouldn't resist 60 mph of constant resistance at one angle.

Go easy on the guy, people from desert have very high expectations.

[@user-zr3ui6gp2p]

Simhachala siva & good day..

[@jamesl.7657]

wow

[@bigpagla]

Um. Thanks? Now lets seat an elephant on a backyard swingset to test durability? #unattainableexpectations

[@vartikcsaba]

Nice test. Check out Doppler/Knirps BMW windtunels tests.

[@leeforspeed]

Please do more video like these.

[@BILLYMORGAN1971]

I have always wondered about this but this could very well be a marketing gimmick for people who can't even hold an umbrella with the wind going 25 MPH. While this video is 7 years old, I have noticed that many online publications rate this $30 umbrella extremely high. Could it be because it's easier to sell a $30 product, which is widely available at various stores compared to a higher end umbrella for snooty people to walk from the exit of a large building to a cab or limo? I mean really, is an umbrella the best thing for high winds? You're essentially becoming a sailor. It probably makes more sense to invest in a good raincoat but expect to be stuffy. Those breathable raincoats rely on some kind of light water repellent finish that comes off in the wash or with wear. Don't forget the safety glasses if you really want to walk around in high winds. Scratch cornea is the worst pain you will ever experience. Hard hat makes sense too.

[@alserrette]

Is this guy serious, 🤣. You only proved how durable these things really are! Also, the wind should blow the other way, 😆. Like, waiting for a semi 🚚 truck to speed by. To see if it could withstand a gust of wind going "up underneath." 🤔. That was a waste of time, sir. A total waste of time, hahahah

[@rickt.223]

Worthless review.
