First off I was surprised at the very small size and weight of this umbrella, this is perfect for you to have available most of the time. This umbrella is perfect for you to keep in your glove box or purse for all those summer time pop up showers, always be ready. The stem on it is 19 inches when opened fully and with a 39in diameter it will give you enough coverage to stay dry for the most part. Now I am not sure you could use this as your main umbrella, but a good choice to have around close by at all times. Easy to open and to close just push the silver button on the side at the top of the holding rod to release just like any other. The rod is a little stubborn to colapse, so I just hold the outside tip on the top an tap the handle and it closes easily. I have never had an umbrella you know being a male we just tough it out like idiots but I though this would really come in handy in a roadside break down or a downpour. This takes up no room at all and is of a decent quality and a good price range.

Worked as advertised. I was looking for a compact umbrella to carry in backpack and this works well. Opening mechanism is bit stiff.

Now it’s rainy season in my area and I’m glad I bought this nice umbrella. The flashlight keeps me safe to walk in the rainy night. I also like the auto open and close feature and its compact size. I chose the red one and I like it very much. Now I always keep it in my handbag.

This tiny *manual* folding umbrella comes with a zipper cover with shoulder strap and a slip-on cover. Took me a few (frustrating) minutes to figure out how to open the umbrella and how to get it folded up properly to fit back in the cover and case. Recommend practicing opening and closing before use! No instructions included with umbrella or on Amazon item page saying how to open the umbrella. Thought there would be a catch or button to open, nope. This umbrella is manual not auto-open. Release the narrow strip of fabric with velcro tab that holds the umbrella fabric rolled up. Pull hard on the top or fabric covered part of the umbrella while holding the handle portion to extend the bar and then push slider attached to the arms inside the umbrella to open fabric portion. To close, pull the slider down to fold the arms/fabric, then push firmly but slowly on the top of the umbrella towards the handle to collapse the bar. Be careful not to jab/pinch your fingers holding the handle with the tips of the umbrella when collapsing the arm. The tricky part is to get the ends of the umbrella arms back inside the cup portion handle. Use the attached strip of fabric to fold up and hold the umbrella arms stable. With the fabric rolled up and the handle extended out slightly, hold the umbrella tips together and slide the handle inwards to lock them in place. Tried going to the Leagera website using the QR code give on the tag attached to the umbrella - comes back with a 403 Forbidden web page error. Great umbrella for ultra portability and light weight but with the caveat that it is a manual umbrella and may not be as convenient for folks used to automatic umbrellas.

I held this review hostage for a while lol. I wanted to be sure it was going to hold up! We have had a weird run of showers that wont leave us alone. Well this worked out great for my wife. We love it as its bigger than our old one and I have caught her using it as a SUN-BRELLA now lol Quality and Value is perfect! Rain or Sunshine, you will love it ;-)

Bought this for my wife. She loves it.

This is definitely a small umbrella to be carried in a handbag or purse. It opens and closes fairly easily, although I couldnt see where the closing mechanism was at first. It comes with a zippered case, but I dont think Id have any use for this as Id just keep the umbrella with the slip case in my bag. The handle and spokes feel sturdy, but the material is a bit thin and see through. It should hold with rain, but not sure about a gust of wind.

The only con is the purse like case. Very feminine. The brand doest think in male clients. There is no way to remove the strap.

I bought this umbrella to keep in my backpack for school in case it rained. It fits perfectly in the side pocket and is a great size for a small umbrella. It gets the job done. I was afraid it would not go back into the case once I opened it, but I had no issues!

The umbrella arrived in a secured package with a good case and bag. Light and the material is good. Will recommend.
