For umbrellas, I swear by a Taiwanese brand called Jiayun.
Their products are used by US presidents, the UK Royal family... etc.
I got 3 of them about 5yrs ago for about 50bucks each... and never got another umbrella since. Their build quality is just amazing. 2 of them spend their dry time in my trunk where all sort of craps gets thrown on top of them.
They have the flexible arms like the Hedgehog, but more importantly, they are 2 layers with a mesh in between them allowing wind to escape. Thus, it doesn't matter how strong the wind is, it doesn't change shape like the Hedgehog... which I think it's super important, because umbrella is there to keep you dry. And if it's changing shape, just so that it doesn't break... it's not really doing its job.
