The only reason I marked it down a bit is that it is heavier than I would have anticipated and if you are trying to keep the weight down in your luggage or backpack, this is not lightweight.

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.

The light at the base of the handle is super bright and rotates so you can aim the light so you can see where youre walking when it is dark. Love that it has a reflective strip around the umbrella itself.

This umbrella was perfect for my needs. I take public transportation to work so have to carry and walk with a lot of stuff. This umbrella is so small and compact that it fits perfectly inside my bag. I see other reviews saying it was hard to fit back into the case after opening it up, but I had no trouble. It has not rained in my area yet so have not gotten a chance to test it in the rain. It seems very sturdy and well made. Overall would recommend, and would definitely buy again if possible!

I havent used the product enough to give it a very accurate durability rating however it seems to be substantial and well-built. Perhaps a bit heavy for travel purposes.

I love everything about this umbrella: good size and it’s portable. Very easy to open and close.

Good umbrella, I just wish it came in more colors

This is a perfect umbrella for the truck. Just the right size, in addition, the balance and comfort is unmatched. Very durable and light weight, with auto open and fabulous coverage. I hope for rain just to use it.

It small and easy to take in your purse

This is one of the smallest, most compact folded umbrellas in existence. Has a great zipper case with adjustable shoulder strap (would be nice if the strap was removable, though). However, it’s pretty stiff when opening and closing, and difficult to wrap it back up so that it fits back into the case. But it works pretty well otherwise.
