$20.95 Rain-Mate Windproof Compact Travel Umbrella

BETTERBRELLA Wind-Proof Reverse Open Umbrella
This as-seen-on-TV pick actually one's actually worth the hype and it's been lab-tested. This reverse-style folds away from you to keep you dry and traps rain on the inside to keep the floor dry too.

This one's a winner because reviewers say it lives up to its promise of being unbreakable. "After only a few seconds after using this for the first time, a huge gust of wind turned it inside out," says one user. "This was the kind of wind that breaks most umbrellas; however, I was pleased when it immediately returned to the correct position once I pointed it into the wind."
