VERY DISAPPOINTED. Bought the first one and it never opened up the correct way. Ordered a replacement and sent back the first one to give it another chance. Decided to use it a couple times to make sure it was or wasnt going to work correctly. Needless to say Im a few days past the return window so Im stuck with an umbrella (not cheap umbrella) that doesnt.... yet again..... work correctly!

Perfect for backpacks. Works as expected.

I like this new style of umbrella. It ones and closes with the push of a bottom. But you have to push it down the last 1/2 of the way after it dries and out the cover back on. Great buy.

This umbrella is a small folding travel sized inverted umbrella. It is lighter than larger inverted umbrellas I’ve tried, but my husband will actually carry this one, as opposed to a larger one that is not convenient. The colors are appropriate for male, female, business or fun, and there is a nice traveling case that comes with it. This is also a great choice for the college student suddenly caught in a rain storm

I liked the idea of an upside down umbrella but wanted to get one with the cloud design underneath, so this fit the bill. The picture is very bright and the umbrella doesnt feel flimsy at all. I also liked that when open, this umbrella is a few inches winder than most travel umbrellas which is good because my last compact umbrella didnt quite cover me and my backpack, but this one does.My favorite part is actually that the button opens AND closes the umbrella. Very convenient. Just be careful when youre opening it because it really moves quick! The umbrella sleeve is great too. It fits tightly around the umbrella and seems waterproof, and I like that it has a zipper. The only thing I dont like about this umbrella is that to fully close it takes a lot of strength and effort, more so than any other umbrella Ive ever seen. I cant pull the umbrella down and get it to stay, so I actually have to press down from the top of the umbrella for it to click into place in the base. And because of the way its made with the auto-open feature, you have to open it from the base every time. You cant just close the top part, leave the handle long, and re-open it; it wont work. But now that I know that I really dont mind, and pushing down on the top of the umbrella to close it isnt really a big deal. I just cant figure out how to pull it closed. Otherwise, its a really great umbrella especially for the price!

Its very heavy duty, not like heavy to hold, made well, came in a very nice box, was great for a gift, she loved it. Loved the clouds on the inside of the umbrella. Great buy, think Ill get myself one

Love it! Compact, durable and has mechanical open and close. Beautiful.

My fault didn’t read description close enough-wasn’t expecting plastic.

*update* although I purchased this in April, I wrote the review this past week. The company has contacted me, sent their deepest apologies and have also refunded my money. Now that’s good customer service! It was good for a while then flipped up after really strong wind... also a sharp pieces was sticking out and I cut my hand.

Planed to use this umbrella for travel, however it was a bit heaver than anticipated, too much weight to add to a carry-on. It will be put to good use at home, but dont recommend for light packing travelers.
