I don't care if it cost $200, I'd still use an umbrella that doesn't fold inside out. I'm so sick of vented types that flap around with cables and still is hard to control. I've ordered one just on the promo material I've seen. I'm sure I aren't going to be disappointed.

Spent $40 on a vented brolli a while back but it is too big for just walking around with. Hard to find one that is vented portable, fiberglass and good if your walking in the sun as well as rain.

I don't look good on the future of these kind of umbrellas. It's like the case of typewriters and improving on typewriters, which is slowly dying off when PC came out. Just use raincoats when it's raining.
