> 24 hourThis umbrella is definitely sturdy and good quality, but the tradeoff is that its definitely heavier than most umbrellas, so carrying it around might be a little bit more inconvenient than other typical umbrellas. The open/close button works well, although the umbrella is definitely somewhat difficult to close - the open/close button will open the umbrella fully, and if you press it again it collapses the umbrella, at which point you have to manually slide it shut to the original closed position. The manual slide is where you have to exert some effort to push it closed. All in all though, I appreciate its good quality, both the umbrella and its sheath case.

> 24 hourI bought this back in 2019 in college to use since it was raining pretty hard recently and upcoming. Its now the end of April in 2023 and this umbrella still works well and wonderfully. Its lasted me through storms and can withstand a lot of wind and I mean enough wind to pull you while using the umbrella. At that point, the umbrella folded and Im rather thankful it does at that point. Amazing umbrella and its been to several different countries with me on travels and through hail too. Its withstood all that. Very much considering getting a second one since my family is starting to notice its the same umbrella for years and I think it might go missing. Honestly a great deal. One thing I would change is how it closes, its definitely left a wet spot on my suits when going to interviews and meetings. A small nitpick since its kept the rest of me dry in storms. Also large enough to have two people under it and small enough to have an excuse to get closer to someone if youre trying to close the distance. The zipper on the cover is also a great addition and has saved me a lot of hassles. The only thing that rusts is the clasp, but I closed it wet. Ive let it dry since then and no more rust has appeared or gotten worse. The handle also has a grip texture and material and that has made all the difference keeping this from flying from my hand, slipping away, and shaking water off. The tension or spring has reduced since I bought it, but its 4 years later. It still shoots out and snaps the water off, just not as fast anymore.

> 24 hourI gifted this umbrella to my 10 year old son, and when he first opened it, it hit something close to him and the metal spring tore the material. It was his own doing and not because of the product, but customer service replaced it quickly without any hassle. Since then, my son has been a bit more careful, and it has been a great help for him to keep in his backpack for rainy days. The open and close buttons are easy to press, making it easy to use for my younger son. The outer sleeve zips and unzips to make keeping it covered when not in use very easy for anyone. I definitely recommend this product as well as the company providing the product!

> 24 hourAt first I thought $15 was expensive for an umbrella, but I now see that there is a huge quality difference between this one, and the cheap ones you can pick up at any store for $5. The handle is not that thin cheap plastic stuff. Its durable, the perfect size, and comfortable to hold. It has a little grip to it, so it wont slip out of your hand like the smooth plastic ones. I didnt realize how great this feature was until we did an hour walk in the rain. I usually struggle to hold my umbrella. The open/close mechanism is strong. Like if it slips back when youre closing it in front of you, you could break a rib! But it fully opens in a flash, no assistance needed. I havent used it on a really windy day but I can tell that the pole in the middle is made well. There is no jiggling or play in the umbrella when its open. The cover is nice quality and has a zipper for easy slip in. This would be good for travel, as it is compact, but is not as lightweight as the plastic ones. However this one will last and function well for years to come. Im ordering another one!

> 24 hourThis is probably the best umbrella Ive ever gotten. I was kinda put off, at first, that it wasnt one of those upside-down closing umbrellas, unbrella or whatever, but it was well-priced, so I got it. However, I am wholly satisfied with this purchase, and I think the click-to-collapse feature is much better than the upside-down ones, to be honest, and its just as easy to stay dry with when getting in a car. Material is great, love the click-to-open and click-to-collapse features. Wonderful little product!

> 24 hourThis umbrella would have been everything but it stopped working after some months. It couldnt open well, and when you force it open, you struggle to close it up. Now it heading for the trash.

> 24 hourVery nice umbrella overall as my first impression without using it in the rain yet. It may not rain her for months, so I want an umbrella that is easy to store. Having the zip-up cover makes it easier to store and it is a compact umbrella although not 11.6 inches as advertised - actually 12+ inches long when collapsed. Also the handle is on the small side so I deducted 1 star for that. Pushing the button to close releases the tension on the canopy and allows the canopy to partially fold up. Then you have to manually push it from both ends to complete the closure. They do not have a company website. According to the attached warranty card, the lifetime guarantee is utilized by emailing them at a hotmail address. Hotmail.com went defunct years ago and is now Outlook.com. So whether there is actually anyone there to honor the guarantee is up in the air. But this may be the case with many umbrella sellers.

> 24 hourIts a nice umbrella but unfortunately, on my second use, I brought it to my church and left it in the umbrella basket, when I went back to get it, its gone. Probably going to get a replacement but its weird how when I bought it its only 15.99 and now it became 16.99. I only brought it like two weeks ago....what is this price change
