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

This umbrella was said to be the ultimate built to last heavy duty travel umbrella. Ive had it for approximately three months. It was fine to begin with, but yesterday when the wind and rain were really heavy, I had a time getting the umbrella closed. I would have to open it and then try to close it again. I normally buy Totes umbrellas, but I bought this one because it said it would withstand wind. The verdict is still out on whether or not I made a wise choice.

great size and wonderful for those rainy days. Had some trouble with wind though, felt like all it took was a little gust and it bent it in and flipped it out really easily

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.

Use it in rain or snow

I really like this umbrella hope it last long

the umbrella part is great it’s sturdy and light weight but the top pole does not go down very far into the bottom pole and the plastic clip that keeps it tight is very cheap and breaks. I can not use my umbrella if it’s windy because the top half flies out and it’s dangerous. the bottom pole also is just a spike and flies out of the sand despite having a sand bag and ties to hold it down. A screw bottom would be better.

Love the convenient since when not in use. Fits perfect in car door storage slot. Great big umbrella when in use.

Really pleased with the umbrella. Super big, lightweight and very easy to use Velcro pouch to store it in.

Nice umbrella and easy to open and close. Would purchase again.

Love that this closes down to a small umbrella but opens up huge! Great for travels.
