I'm a big fan of this umbrella with a window from 1935

Look for things like this:

I had one (not this brand) that died because it got sat on, and the handle wouldn’t close cuz it got bent (my attempts at straightening did not improve it :smiley: ) , handled some pretty serious between the skyscrapers in east london winter winds though.

ETA: it wouldn’t turn inside out, but it would still get buffeted or pulled, 100X beter than no umbrella though.
