21-11-2024I thought these umbrellas were so cute and ironic. I was going to keep 1 and give the other 1 to my sister. That wouldve been great. Only when the box got here. There was only 1 in the box. And no paperwork. I sent it back on the 9th. And I still havent received my refund.

> 3 dayThis umbrella is very nice and quite sturdy, it is big when fully up and open, it gives alot of coverage, you can definitely fit it in the side pocket of your backpack. This umbrella is great quality and I will be getting good use out of it for sure, its great.

Greater than one weekThe good: good-looking black umbrella that has a nice large canopy to keep the rain off and folds down to the size youd expect for a full-size umbrella. The product description doesnt highlight this but it has a gusseted, vented design so the top part of the canopy has a vent flap running around to help the wind pass though without turning it inside out on a windy day. The wind can be strong where I live so I appreciate this in a bigger umbrella. The not-so-good: two things primarily. One, after closing this umbrella, I found it much more difficult to neatly fold and wrap it with its Velcro strap and put it back into its storage sleeve, compared with many other similar umbrellas Ive used. Im not sure why - perhaps its the wind vent that takes away some of the form and shape, but I found I had to do a lot of folding and shaping by hand, where a lot of other umbrellas seem to fall into place and shape much more naturally when you go to wrap the keeper strap around them. Two, the handle has a smooth, almost slick black plastic grip. I guess I prefer something that has either a foam cover, a tacky soft rubber or silicone grip, or just a more grippy satin or matte finish. The grip feels slippery in my hand and I could see it being difficult to hold onto when my hands are wet, cold, or both.

> 3 dayThis is a quick to open and strong pull too. Neither of those are bad for me, just caught me off guard at first. The quality of the umbrella is very well put together. Nice size and the handle is not a cheaply made one, looks very nice.

> 3 dayThis a really well priced, high quality umbrella. And if youve never had a quality umbrella, let me tell you, it makes a difference. I live in New York City and people dont drive here. You have to walk everywhere so when it rains you have to deal with it. And like many New Yorkers i used to just buy these super cheap umbrellas they sell in the street. They break apart during a windy rain, but i just thought this is what all umbrellas were like and i would buy another one. i just thought this was normal. But once i got my first deluxe umbrella It literally changed my relationship to rain --as in im more willing to walk out feeling safer that i will be able to stay dry. A good umbrella wont break with the wind. With this one i have to say im impressed with how good the price is for this high quality umbrella. First off, its really high quality material. Its nice fabric and its a tight, sturdy support. And it has this very interesting vents, which let air flow through so when the wind is about to blow your umbrella inside out, the air has a way to escape without breaking your umbrella. It feels very sturdy and it seems noticeably larger than normal. Very nice overall and looks great.

15-11-2024First impressions when I first opened the packaging was this is going to be a good purchase. And it is, well, sort of. Basically two issues make this an just okay purchase. And for an umbrella, how can you screw one up? Well, the first thing is a trigger activates a very strong spring loaded piston or something and when it opens after you press that trigger, and it does take a bit of force to press that trigger, the umbrella fires open like its been shot out of a cannon. Anybody in its way is going to take a hit. So you want to be careful you dont point this at something or someone when opening it. Maybe it calms down after a few uses, I should hope so. The second issue is closing the umbrella. Its hard to do. That same spring makes it difficult enough you have no choice but to follow the instructions and this is where whomever designed this umbrella using such a strong spring is nuts. The instructions say to close the umbrella to first press the button trigger, the same one that opens the umbrella. Then grab the top ring of the umbrella, and no not the inside ring, but the outer one or atthe very top of the umbrella. And then you press the umbrella down till you hear a click and the umbrella will stay closed. Well, guess what? Most of us use the umbrella when its been raining. And to that end the top of the umbrella is wet of course. So closing the umbrella means using your whole arm to force the umbrella back into its closed position which leaves your arm wet. Its just plain stupid that you cant use the inside ring to pull the umbrella closed to lock it back in the closed position. If it wasnt for the last issue Id give the umbrella a good four or five stars. BTW, when the umbrella is opened its very taut and easily pulls and tugs if the wind is blowing; something else you want to watch out for when using this umbrella. Like I said, its an okay purchase but Id shoot for something better.
