EuroSCHIRM Light Trek Automatic Folding Umbrella, Compact, Ultra-light weight, 38”

I walk half a mile from a parking garage to my office building in Houston, Texas. Anyone who has lived here knows we get the worst rain in the country. I purchased this umbrella in the hopes that it would hold up, given that it is supposed to be designed for harsh weather. In short, it did not. The first time I took the umbrella out in relatively light winds it immediately flipped inside out and was completely ineffective. Having owned the umbrella for over three months now, I can confidently say that this is no better than the $10 umbrellas that you find at your everyday grocery store.

I normally hate umbrellas, but this thing is awesome, its light weight and small. And as another reviewer mentioned before, I recommend getting a color other than black so no one walks out with your umbrella.

The umbrella works nicely - but is smaller than I would have liked (should have done more research). It will work nicely for a short rain event, but would not recommend for an all day soaking (too fragile). A little over-priced for what I got. If you want strength, and no folding ability, get a golf umbrella - they are beasts.

Works great. Is small and perfect for fitting in me briefcase and when it rains waiting for the bus. its construction looks like a well made unit. I expect it to last a really long time.

Very light and made of great materials. Im very happy with this umbrella purchase

bought 2, 1 for self the other as a gift. Exceeded expectations, especially the crisp retraction! So bought a bunch more for Christmas gifts. A winner!

Love this one, it works great.

By way of feedback: 1. I was really impressed by how quickly the umbrella arrived, two days, really quickly. 2. The box was kind of large for an umbrella, a smaller box would have been more green and save some. 3. I thought it would be black but the one I got was green. I would have preferred black but it not worth the hassle to return it for a black one. I dont recall an option for selecting the color but maybe I missed it. If its not there they should have a way for customers to select the color. 4. I have not used this umbrella in a rain storm yet but I was really impressed at how well it was constructed. Hopefully it will be as strong as it looks. Thank you, Len

Great compact umbrella. It is very light, but seems pretty tough. I havent put it through much wind yet, but so far it has performed very well.

Easily the best collapsable umbrella on the market. It handles wind just fine, seems to have a bit more coverage than the $5 umbrellas you find in the city, and the handle is actually really comfortable.
