Portobello Large Travel Umbrella - 54 Inch Double Vented Canopy Folds Into Portable Size - Big Enough To Fit In 2 Adults - Auto Open Close

This seems to be a well designed and well made umbrella with one fatal flaw. The automatic open/close button is located where you have to grip the umbrella tightly because it is pretty heavy. But the button doesnt take much pressure to acitvate, so every time you use the umbrella you will end up accidentally hitting the close button and it will fold up and dump water on you during a rain storm. To make it worse, you have to completely collapse and re-latch the umbrella to make the button work again to reopen the umbrella, so you get extra soaked. Just a plain old open button with a separate release when you want to close the umbrella would work much better. There is no discernible benefit for an auto-close function and it causes all of the problems described above.

Maybe wind proof but cannot stand the simple opening up. I bought this umbrella 11 months ago. I used it a few times and i liked it. BUT today it abandoned me in a terrible way. It was heavily raining with snow in the city, I left home with this umbrella which was working first but when i walked out of the subway and tried to open it it did not opened. It broke at the top of the rod, as you can see it on photos other unhappy customers posted. I just cannot understand that this problem happened so many times before why the company is not calling back the product, or try to address this issue. Umbrellas are dying in bad circumstances like very strong winds BUT in plain rain with no wind, by just by pressing the opening button it is ridiculous. I truly liked this umbrella till it was working, but now seeing what happened i have no trust in it, so i have to spend some time to figure out what to replace it with. Thank you for another disappointment, and flushing money down the drain.

I love this! It dries fast, It’s convenient, not heavy at all, and the perfect size. It’s not the compact little umbrella while still being small enough for tight storage locations.

I loved the color and style. It is large enough for more than one person. I only purchase umbrellas that are auto open and close.

Loved it

Ive had a few umbrellas, but this one is exceptional. It may be a little heavier, but Id rather that and well built. Right away I thought this is a better grade of material. Then I opened it and it was smooth. Very nicely designed and quality in the build! I decided to buy 1 more.

Large umbrella but very flimsy. Handle and umbrella feel solid and well made, its just the outer supports that are flimsy so it doesnt do well in the wind.

Love the umbrella I use it for sun and rain. Blocks it all from body even when windy.

Hardly used it. Bought 2 months ago.. it’s raining and I went to use it today. It broke when opening. Cheaply made.

Nicely reinforced to withstand windy environment.
