Greater than one weekI picked this out to have as a spare in my car for surprise rain showers. I liked that it is very compact and opens and closes easily with a button push. It is easy to roll up and store in its pouch and has a wide strap to keep it tight and compact. I also liked that it was extra wide but did not realize from the pictures that rather than a standard round umbrella I was getting an oddly shaped oblong umbrella. It is indeed wide enough for two people side by side. But back to front it is closer to a small umbrella which could lead to rain running down your back or hitting the fronts of your legs. I guess it all depends on how compact the person(s) using it is/are. I measured it as 45 wide in the long direction but only 33 in the short direction. The umbrella seems well enough made for this price point with a sturdy looking under-structure and nicely finished fabric. The handle is a bit small and made of very lightweight plastic. In my hand it was at tad uncomfortable and did not give me the impression of it doing well in windy conditions. But as I picked this for only occasional use I believe it will suffice. You may not want this for your primary umbrella but for a handy backup I believe this is a decent choice.
