I don't own the XS Metro but I have 2 G1's , Blunt umbrellas are the BEST and LAST umbrella you will purchase for awhile (unless you lose it or someone steals it!). I have used my umbrellas for many years in all sorts of conditions, wind driven rain, major down pours and also sunny clear days for shade! If you can live with the small handle I highly recommend purchasing this brand.
it-manCopy that! I hear you loud and clear. Maybe we can request a Drop for the G series! I think alot of folk in the MD community would be intetested.
