Haas-Jordan 68-Inch Hurricane 345 Tour Plus Umbrella

The Hurricane 345 Tour Plus is a superior wind-vented umbrella that makes a prestigious statement. Alternating panels are wind-vented which results in a much lighter weight making it easier to carry than double-canopy designs. The improved fiberglass frame with a burled wood-finish fiberglass shaft will stand up to the strongest wind gusts, allowing you to reach safe shelter while blocking rain. A non pinching frame will protect your fingers when opening or closing the umbrella. The new Hurricane 345 Tour Plus comes with patent-pending golf towel bar.

From spine tip straight across to the opposite spine tip is 59"; mid-panel edge to opposite edge is 54". Folded length is 42.5". Spring loaded cup near the shaft bottom retracts while you squeeze the spine tips together then let it out to hold them. Has attached wrap around velcro strap and a separate sleeve to slip over it once it's folded, twisted and wrapped. "Burled wood finish" looks more like oddly tarnished brass. Comfortable rubber grip. Seems sturdy enough; If I was still a kid I'd be jumping off the shed roof with it. Ran a strong magnet along it and only the small latching bits and cup spring are steel, the rest seems to be fiberglass which would be less attractive to lightning. Got the black for $20.25 because the other colors are over $40. Calling it a "Hurricane" umbrella is comical; any wind will make this big thing a handful. The golf towel bar is just a finned rubber sleeve over one of the spreader struts. I would have given it 5-stars if not for the deceptive size claim.

Well i ordered a black umbrella and I got a blue and white one. still works great towel holder works real good you have to pick towel off of the sticky rubber piece.
