BAODINI Small Travel Umbrella for Rain Protection Sun-Folding UV Umbrella Windproof Compact

Item as described- good quality umbrella

I ended up returning them because the colors were so off. The umbrellas themselves were fine just the wrong color

.y daughter loves it

For traveling so hard to close down !

Works well. Great size. Would buy again.

functional at an unbrella but kinda difficult to get it back in its bag

We were extras for a tv show filmed outside in Texas. This umbrella is small to carry and opens/closes easily. We used it during every break inbetween takes and it really helped.

This umbrella is very pretty, absolutely adore the mint color, and I had been waiting for a time to get to use it and I finally did (a few times, yay rain!) and have a few thoughts :) I bought it for the purpose but also for the clean and simple aesthetic, its pretty and has served its purpose! It is a bit small as I was walking back to my place and the bag beside me got pretty wet- however, the issue arises with having to close it. I initially did not know the button could shrink first as when I attempted the first time, the button only wanted to budge to close once I finally pushed it in, and since then, it has been easier, just slightly, though. The problem is having to click it closed to fit into the little pouch or tie it together with its strap in the velcro. I simply cant with my own hands- I get to the edge with a considerable struggle, only for it to snap back open. I have to use the ground to click it close. I noticed earlier a user had to use their stomach to click it close- I never attempted it as it seemed more painful for me if I were to attempt that as it simply is too hard to close. Is it a vast and complex issue? Not necessarily- its more of an annoyance. Im curious if it will get better with due time, if its a lubing issue or if I managed to get one manufactured in such a way; regardless, Im still considering whether I keep it or return it. Its very pretty and portable, and it gets the job done in a stylish way that Ive had two people ask me where I purchased it; however, the issue is still there.
