[Request] Looking for a high quality and compact sun shade umbrella
blunt metro is solid but FYI if heat reduction is the priority (not just UV blocking) you might want to look at reflective fabric umbrellas vs the standard polyester blunt uses i switched from blunt to UV Blocker after realizing most UV umbrellas block radiation but still trap heat underneath. the difference is reflective coating (silver fabric) that bounces IR radiation away vs absorbing it worth considering if your gf is heat sensitive specifically vs just UV sensitive

Umbrella (Davek or Blunt)
I got the Blunt Metro for my wife and she likes it a lot. Hard to vouch for the wind either way, but it's held up well over the last few years. When deciding between Davek and Blunt, my impression was the cost difference to get the Davek wasn't worth it. But I expect both are good/great umbrellas.

Blunt umbrellas: for life or for next month?
I second this. I love the Davek Duet. It's a large collapsible umbrella. I also have a Blunt Metro and it's fine but too small for me.
