If you're buying the retractable umbrellas, get the ones with springs on the arms; this prevents the arms from snapping in the wind. The umbrella will invert in strong wind, but you can just flip it back with nothing broken. These usually have a 'windproof' tag on them and are about 11 inches long (not the super mini 3-section type). I usually buy mine from Winners because they're only about $15 max there. The colour choice varies though.
