Luxworth Heritage Shooting Stick Umbrella

One item to carry instead of an umbrella and a separate folding chair. Leather is supple and strong. Really pleased with this purchase.

The regal burgundy is a very classy shade. Looks far more expensive than it is. Good sturdy mechanism when opening.

Quality product. Giving 4 stars only because the ground plate had a couple of superficial scuffs right out of the plastic sleeve, though obviously it's going to get scratched in the dirt anyway. Functions brilliantly.

Used it all through the late summer cricket season on the village green. Umbrella canopy is wide enough for good coverage and handles breezy gusts well without inverting.

Very sturdy shaft with zero wobble. A bit clunky to carry when folded up if you don't actually need to lean on it, but when the knee acts up it's an absolute godsend.

Used it yesterday in that torrential rain we had. Kept me bone dry and steady on the slippery paving stones outside Marks and Spencer. Top marks.

The saddle stitching on the leather seat is thick and durable. Spring loaded retention catch holds firm. Excellent English country aesthetic.

Nice quality finish. The handle fits into the heel of the hand really naturally. Box arrived looking slightly battered from the courier but the brolly itself was well wrapped inside with bubble wrap.

Bought for my husband who watches our grandson play rugby on chilly Saturday mornings on muddy pitch sidelines. He was so proud showing it off to the other parents. Keeps rain off and gives an instant seat on the touchline.

Gives me the support I need when out with the dog on uneven pavements. The rubber ferrule at the base provides good grip. Would be even better if it came with a spare ferrule in the box for when this one wears out.

Well built and clever engineering. It is noticeably heavier than a standard golf umbrella because of the steel mechanism and leather seat handles, so your arm feels it after walking 5 miles across fields, but having a seat wherever you stop is worth every ounce.

Just had hip replacement surgery and wanted something discreet for walking into town. Does the trick nicely. canopy fabric feels thick not flimsy cheap nylon.

Very handsome piece of gear. The tan leather seat handles fold open smoothly and form a surprisingly comfortable perch. Green canopy is traditional and blends right into the countryside.

Handle is very comfortable to lean on, much better than standard rounded crook handles that dig into your palm after 10 minutes. Takes a bit of wrestling to get it back inside the protective sleeve once it's wet, but otherwise spot on.

Does exactly what a shooting stick is meant to do. Ground spike anchors firmly into damp earth or turf. Remember you can't use the seat function on hard concrete or tarmac because the spike has nothing to dig into, but on turf it holds my 15 stone with no problem at all.

Clever bit of kit. Really sturdy as a walking aid and doesn't bend when you put your full weight on it. Canopy is broad enough to keep the rain off your shoulders too. It is definitely heavier than a normal umbrella though, so be prepared for that if your wrists are weak.

Took this to the CLA Game Fair and it saved my bad back completely. Whenever queuing or watching the gundog trials I just spiked it into the grass and had a proper comfy leather sling seat. When the heavens opened in the afternoon, opened up the brolly. Leather smells fantastic too.

Bought for my mum who hates using her hospital stick out in public. This looks just like a posh brolly so she doesnt feel self conscious at all. Burgundy colour is lovely and deep. Height adjustment was a bit stiff on day one but works fine now.

Bought this for outdoor events and it’s excellent. The leather seat is comfy, it’s really sturdy on grass, and it looks very smart. Great that it doubles as a solid brolly too. Well worth the money.
