BEST UMBRELLA IN THE WIND

Also a winner in our 2005 Real Simple test, this model has wind-release vents so even gusts of 55 miles an hour can't turn it inside out. A classic hardwood handle makes it guy-friendly.

BEST FOR FAMILIES (BEST FOLD-UP UMBRELLA)

Eddie Bauer Spring

Let's face it, if you're going out in the rain with your kids, you simply can't lug around a big, bulky umbrella. This is the sturdiest portable we tried, with a tiered construction that keeps it from flipping and a no-slip grip. It opens and closes with one hand?essential when you're dealing with coffee or car keys or holding your kids. Collapsible and affordable.

To buy: $15, eddiebauer.com

BEST OVERALL PROTECTION

Vista

You can see clearly now with this transparent vinyl manual umbrella. Thanks to a bubble canopy that has a 19-inch depth, it will shield your face and hair from mist or side-swept rain and let you maneuver through dark or crowded streets without bumping into strangers.

To buy: $34, umbrellastand.com
