DOFOWOT Travel Umbrella Windproof 12 Ribs UPF 50+ UV Protection, Folding Umbrella Fibreglass Compact Umbrella Automatic Open & Close Umbrella for Men Women

Got this umbrellas just for the windproof so far its good we will see how good it will be

This is a strong and sturdy feeling umbrella. The only reason I couldnt give 5 stars though is that it is kind of difficult to close. Opening is great, just push a button, but when closing you really need to use some effort to get it to latch. Hopefully itll get easier after using for awhile but if someone is elderly or injured or arthritic this might not work for them. Also, and this is probably my fault, I expected it to be a bit more compact. Other than that it is a strong umbrella.

Item: DOFOWOT Travel Umbrella Windproof 12 Ribs UPF 50+ UV Protection, Folding Umbrella Price (at time of review *): $16.66 (* Note that I receive some items at discounted or zero cost through Amazon Vine participation. The price indicated is the purchase price, with or without discounts, as advertised on the product page at the time this review is posted) Pros: Very pleased with the size and utility of this travel umbrella. I was looking for an umbrella to keep in my car in case of unexpected showers and assumed I would likely need to compromise on quality for size, but not to the extent I expected with this product. It comes with an outer sleeve that you slide off, following which you detach a velcro strap to unleash the umbrella for opening (you can do this in your vehicle while staying dry). There is a button on the handle that you press (step out for this), upon which the umbrella opens quickly to full size. It is quite secure at this point, and of adequate size to cover one person effectively (two would be a stretch, though perhaps would keep their heads dry for a short distance). Once youre back under cover, you press the button again which allows for the top to be pressed into the base (requires a little pressure, but is not difficult), after which you re-affix the strap with the velcro and if you choose to, slide the sleeve back over the top. Effective, compact, generally well made product, overall. Cons: The handle is on the smallish side, particularly for an adult male hand. Once you close the umbrella, the velcro strap is on the lower end of the folded portion and simply wrapping it around results in some bulkiness at the top which interferes with putting the sleeve back on. You need to wrap the strap around at an angle to compress the top effectively enough, and getting it back into the sleeve is still a bit of a process. If the sleeve were a bit wider with the ability to cinch the bottom once the umbrella is covered again, it would be much easier to put away. Ratings (1-10 scale; 0 = Very poor, 5 = Average, 10 = Exceptional) Quality: 8 Value (based on purchase price of $16.66): 7.5 Utility: 7 Overall: 7.5 Hopefully you found this review helpful in identifying the best product to meet your needs.

It is the strong umbrella I have ever used so far. I like a simple design. I think it is better than a $10 umbrella that sells at any supermarket. It is not too heavy to use. I keep it in my car. Love it!

Umbrella itself is good but the rod and handle feel flimsy. It was difficult to open and close due to this and felt like it was going to break.

This umbrella will be used for the rain or for heat.
