A few years ago, I got caught in an unexpected torrential downpour while waiting outside a restaurant to be seated. Desperate to prevent my entire body from getting soaked, I popped into the nearest drugstore to grab one of the few remaining $15 umbrellas left on the stand.
Salvation! Or so I thought. I'm not exaggerating when I say I didn't even make it down one block before the umbrella broke. There goes $15 along with any hope of staying dry that night.
Warm, dry months are just around the corner, but in the meantime, spring still has some surprise showers up its sleeve. If you're currently without an umbrella, you can still equip yourself with a good one without spending more than $20.
Unlike the model that literally only lasted seconds in my tragic tale above, the umbrellas below are sturdy and reliable, and they have the satisfied reviews to prove it. Most are also available on Amazon and with Prime shipping, so you can receive your umbrella quickly if you notice the upcoming week has rain in store for your city.
Ultimately, they're probably not going to be as long-lasting as more expensive styles, but for now, and for less than $20, they'll do the trick.
