I’ve had luck with blunt umbrellas
I tend to buy storm capable umbrella's as they are generally not flimsy and require less force in higher winds.
I prefer Knirps.
Knirps all the way
In my experience, its just easier/cheaper to buy cheap but decent quality umbrellas and not have to worry about them. I think probably the last 3 umbrellas I bought were bought not to replace a broken umbrella, but to replace an umbrella that was left somewhere. I've got a Lewis N. Clark umbrella that's lasted me the past 5 years and somehow has managed to not get lost or broken. I don't tend to go outside when its super windy, so that's probably helped its longevity. They're about $10-15 on Amazon generally.
In general, golf umbrellas are amazing for durability. However, they are usually fairly large, which I like.

I have the hook handle, and yes, you can stand on it. I'm 180lbs.
Doppler has some nice handmade ones, I have one of the loden ones since three years and so far it is holding up very well.
James Ince Umbrellas. Some made in Germany, some in Italy.
As a Belgian I suggest Doppler. I have one of their umbrella's since I was a child (at least 20 years but probably longer) and still use it often. I bought a second Doppler a few years ago (a compact storm umbrella), and I'd say the quality is still there. I use umbrella's every time it rains and have never let storms hinder me. I've had other umbrella brands die on me (before I bought the second compact Doppler) in situations the storm Doppler handles with ease.
Ooh merci. Je vous crois sur parole et j'ai hate de l'utiliser. en sorry als ik veronderstelde dat je uit het zuiden komt, ik hoop dat dit het goed maakt :D

Look for handmade, with a solid wooden shaft. Fox Umbrellas, Swaine Adeney Brigg, and James Smith & Sons make good umbrellas.
