This umbrella was durable but too big to go in your purse. It opened and closed with no problems.

My umbrella is very pretty. The two tones give it a great look. The gold snap and accessories are nice too. It’s just the right size to fit in your purse or under your seat. Great buy

I ordered this < Dlin Travel Sun Umbrella for Purse with Case,Compact UV Umbrella Protection,Folding Lightweight Portable Parasol Umbrella for Men and Women > [ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BYJLFZQH?th=1 ] for my wife and it arrived yesterday. We both examined it and we both feel that it is an excellent travel umbrella. Its fabric is much thicker than the usual travel umbrellas my wife has gotten in the past yet it is easy to open, close, fold, and put back into its fabric case. Note that it is not one of those automatic open-and-close types which, in our experience, do not work well and break easily. It is manually open-and-close and I believe that this is for the best. It is very lightweight (surprisingly so) and it fits easily into my wifes purse. It is beautiful to look at and is very well-constructed of far better-than-average materials, especially the ribs, the frame, and the handle. And, as I mentioned, its fabric is much thicker than the usual run-of-the-mill travel umbrellas my wife has owned previously. At its current price ($32.99 - with your choice of colors) I feel that it represents excellent value for money. In both of our opinions, you wont go wrong in buying one (or more) of these beautiful umbrellas. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Thank you for reading this. Lawrence H. Bulk

This umbrella is on the pricier side, probably because of this double layer cloth. First time I owned such thick fabric material for an umbrella. Im sure with such protection, its definitely good to shield myself from harmful UV. I have not tested this in rain to see how it holds up. Be warn, the thick layers of fabric also make it thicker when folded. I couldnt easily slot it back into the umbrella sleeve after using. With the price, I was hoping to get a push button automatic umbrella. Unfortunately this umbrella is your basic push extend and pull down collapse type.

Good large umbrella it works well as my car umbrella for when Im out and about

The umbrella is extra thick and should certainly block the sun rays. The opening of the umbrella is easy. The ribs are a more sturdy material than most and should hold up against a strong wind. However when you go to retract it it doesn’t naturally fold itself. It is a difficult to get it small enough to snap the strap around it and return it to its case. I would expect an umbrella in this price range not to have this issue. This is the reason I gave it a 3 star rating.

Looking for an umbrella for my daughter to put in her back pack and she loves this! Super cute, easy to work and light weight while not sacrificing on quality. Great umbrella!

This umbrella is super nice and compact but opens up much larger than the standard compact umbrella! Its made with a nice durable material and has a leather strip attached to a sturdy wooden handle. The umbrella itself doesnt feel thin at all, but it can fold up just like any other umbrella. Not only that, but it looks cute.

Not see through like your typical umbrella. But, this one is made for UV protection, not rain protection. Im not sure of the effectiveness quite yet, unfortunately I have broken out in a cutaneous lupus rash everywhere brought on by sun exposure and pregnancy, so its hard to tell if its helping or not at this point. But Im willing to try anything! It seems to do good though.

I never had an umbrella that was made to protect from the sun too, im excited to use it. It has 2 thick layers, its easy to fold and unfold, and its quite light. I will be taking it on my trip to Mexico later this month.
