does it stay on in extremely windy areas

It came off once during a bad windstorm, but I hadn't connected the straps underneath.

In my experience yes. We live in a class C wind zone and gets 30-70mph winds and it hasn't blown off completely ever on my 1970 Buick.

When it was new, it held on very well. The elastic is giving out after about a year. Compared to budget covers, it is worth it

Sure, by the right size. But I really don't recommend this car cover. 6 months into it, the inside of the cover started shedding blue minute dust particles. Every time I uncover it, these millions of tiny dust particles cover the car, especially on the windows. I had to dust them off every time I uncover it. It's very frustrating.

Ironically, we have had very high winds with storms over the past two days. No problems with the cover what so ever.Works like a charm.

I am not 100% sure if it does but it should be and I have used it only for a strong wind not sun.

I live in an area of England that has high winds and have never had the cover come off--I like it because it isn't heavy and really is secure--I have a VW Jetta.

Yes so long as its not a really windy day the cover doesn't seem to hold very well with high wind gust constantly coming off

The entire border is elastic in the hem and fits fairly snugly around the bottom. It probably won't stay on in significant wind. I have had it come off only once, and it was a pretty good storm that did it.

The wind noise canceling is effective. But it won't work against stronger winds. It's still great for normal breezes and the like. Just keep expectations realistic.

No.I had to add weight to prevent umbrella from tipping over in 15-20 mph wind.If no wind,it works fine

I have mine outside in the elements and it survived our Michigan winter with 50mph wind gusts and -20 temps. It will probably get me thru one more season. If you want a cover that lasts many seasons you will pay three times or more than what this cover costs.

No, it has a very wide base (about 6 feet) so its self stabalized and its too heavy for the wind to move! Awesome product, great investment for the kids (and young at heart)

I use it outdoors to let the sun/breeze get to the clothes, but bring it in once they are dry or at the end of the day. If it is windy, it WILL blow over...and break. Mine did just that and I am now on line to order a new one. In spite of that, I have really liked the product

Hi it depends. I took some card board and covered it in foil. We can walk behind it after it was adjusted. On a windy day it goes off from time to time

I have not found that it does well outside in windy situations. It doesn't feel that secure on my ear and I would be concerned that it would fall off if I were running or jogging.

I have not tried that, so I can not say for sure, but I would not be surprised if it DID stay on in those situations. It fits pretty snugly, and has elastic at the bottom edge, so it hugs tight where the generator curves in at the bottom of the case.

Hi, Not really. We had some strong winds in Elk Grove, CA. a couple of weeks ago and it was all over the backyard. My husband recently purchased some hooks to attach to the fence next time we get a gust of strong winds. For the price it is a good deal. Hope that helps. Amy

It could depending how close it is to the sensor. We had an umbrella up and the movement from that in higher winds caused it to come on.

I've had this umbrella over six months with almost daily use for sun protection, and live just a few miles from the coast in Southern California. It gets very windy here. The umbrella does great in wind compared to others I've had. There are wind vents, and a strap at the end of the handle (which is kind of awkward in shape but I've gotten used to it), that you can have around your wrist as an extra precaution to keep it in your grasp. Recommending it for windy areas.
