Well, I found mine in local shops. A large umbrella with more spokes than usual (12 instead of 8) and sturdy construction. and a foldable umbrella that was listed as being able to turn inside out and be popped back without damage. My finds were accidental.
In this case, I think google is your friend. “Defensive driving” is the codename for driving safety courses in Australia—it may be different where you are located—so try “Driving safety course yourlocation” and you should get a few hits.

Defensive driving often means ‘safety lecture’ in America too. Certain types of traffic offenses can be forgiven if you take a review course on traffic laws and anger management. I had to take one of these, and it was worthless. Which isn’t to say that there aren’t good courses, but I agree that research is very much in order.
Yeah—I’m pretty sure defensive driving course in Australia are all hands-on, not just a safety lecture.
I could be mistaken in that, but when I went looking, that is what I found—courses that get you actually driving in different conditions.
Of course, there could also be dud courses out there in Aus too, and I happened not to find them because they don’t tend to drift upwards in google searches… ;)

However, if you’re looking on the internet, there are really good umbrellas out there. I was thinking: http://www.wantist.com/products/senz-storm-proof-umbrellas OR http://real-self-defense.com/unbreakable-umbrella/ Depending on your inclinations
