ElifeAcc Double Layer Windproof Automatic Umbrellas with Anti-UV Straight Folding Travel Umbrella Multi-coloured

Christmas gift for my grandson- he wanted a RED umbrella- this one is burgundy- he will know the difference!

We have extremes in our weather here in Oklahoma. Strong wind probably 350+ days a year. Either no rain or monsunes. Hot sun in Summer. This umbrella holds up to all those conditions and makes it possible to enjoy being at grandkids sporting events. I have bought it 4 Xs now. My 2 OU student kids needed it whether to walk to classes when it rains to going to OU games.

I make costumes/cosplays for a living. A young lady I made a Ms. Pac-Man costume wanted a few ghosts to run with this year. Ended up using this for Blinky & it worked amazingly as the top part for the costume build.

First of all, I ordered RED. Not even close to RED. It is a terrible rust like color. SECOND, for me to get it to collaspe, after the top is collasped, I have to stand it on its head on a hard surface and push the handle down because it is terribly stiff. Maybe a 25 year old man could do it, but I cant.

This umbrella has a double layer of fabric but lite enough for my vacation travel purse. It provides ample shade for one person. The wind will make it flip open but each time it will return to the correct position.

Bought this for my grandson for Christmas. He loved the color. He has never had an umbrella so is looking forward to using it for school.

Would not close after 3 uses.
