I recommend being less of a dick about it. Same team, dude.

TIL: Telling someone to use the website tools to get an immediate answer is being a dick. And user DooBeeDoer207 admonished people while providing no help to OP. OP asked for help, I didn't...help OP and leave me be.

Times change and so do products. New ones may have come to market. Old ones may have got worse over time.

You are correct, but actual use of that logic is problematic as you can never trust advice based on previous experience and have shaky trust on new products. My real point is OP needs to use the search engine to get an immediate answer. BIFL large umbrellas are out there and have been discussed time and time again.

To be fair that's true. The reason I just found this thread is because I am looking for a BIFL umbrella and assumed there would be previous discussions on it. I was happy to see recent discussions on the topic though.

And truth be told, there's not much new in the market and many BIFL options spoken of old. Its more a matter of price and looks than anything. Some people are just mad you can't get a BIFL umbrella for $7 at Walmart. Quality often costs and the cost often pisses people off....worse is when they find out BIFL office chairs start at $1000 :)
