PUREVACY Reverse Umbrella with Sturdy Shaft, 8 Reinforced Ribs, Teflon Coating, Black-Navy Blue Inverted Umbrella Compact, Windproof Upside Down Umbrella for Women, Men, Waterproof Inside Out Umbrella

This review is for the folding umbrella and not the travel umbrella. It does not open or close automatically. It closes by keeping the top/wet part on the inside. There are two good reasons that I can think of for closing like this. One is that if you hold the umbrella up (while it is closed) no water will get on the floor. So, you can carry it like this around for a bit to keep everything around you dry. The second reason is if it touches you when it is closed, it will not get you wet. Very useful when getting in a car from the rain. With a normal umbrella I would get everything around me wet as I bring in the umbrella. As for it being windproof. I’m not so sure if bending back counts as windproof. I am able to swing the open umbrella so that it bends backwards. See the pictures of it bent back. But even after it gets bent back like that, it is still wide enough to keep you dry and all it takes to go back to normal is for you to pull down on one of the stems. Not much effort to bring it back to normal. It feels more solid against the wind than other umbrellas. If not windproof, I would say the most wind resistant umbrellas I’ve ever owned. It seems to be made well. It has two layers of fabric. It opens and closes very easily. I definitely like and find it useful to have it fold like the way it does.

This umbrella is a bit heavy and feels sturdy like a good umbrella. It is very compact and comes with a bag to put it back into and and it does automatically open. Was kind of hoping when I read automatic it would come back down too and not have to push it back down, but that what it is. The biggest downside so far is it opens big and closes big, so it is very hard to get back into its case for storing. It does open quick and fast though and when you hit the close button it retracts the top a bit but you still have to push it down and it kind of makes a bowl like shape so when you shut it the water is on top so you can just dump it outside of the car instead of the car. It is a good umbrella, and I would suggest it for anyone in an area with wind and rain.

This is an amazing concept!! I can get into my car and not fuss with trying to let down my umbrella without hitting the door. This folds upwards so you just fold it and pull it into the car so easily! It traps the water so I just turn it upside down on my passenger side. The carry case it also a great addition! It has a strap so it is easy to carry with you. Definitely buying these from now on!

I have an umbrella hanging in my back porch that I use to walk the dog in my back yard when it is raining. Well, I made the mistake of trying to use it during hurricane Ian and well let’s just say I needed to get a new umbrella. This one looked like it would work out fine and it does. It is a good size to keep us both dry (in normal rain), lol. It does come with a sleeve and opens smoothly. It is an inverted design, which is no big deal to me but its ok. The handle is comfortable to hold, and it has a cord so I can hang it for easy access. It does not auto-open though so I am not sure why that is in the description. Seems well made and should work well for my needs.

This umbrella is large and light weight. It is easy to open and close. The quality is good and seems study enough to use on windy days. I really like the way it folds to prevent leaking. The case that came with it was a little thin, but I usually dont take the time to store umbrellas in the case anyway.

This umbrella is nice if you need a compact umbrella for your purse or backpack.

This umbrella is nice and sturdy and thick andoorable I love this selection its a very light weight but yet very solid. I love the maroon color underneath the black on top Its great for any personal size umbrella.

We just had a strong rainstorm to close out monsoon season here in AZ. My niece used this umbrella to walk to the bus stop and back after school in the pouring rain. She said it worked well even with strong winds though she was surprised at how quickly it expanded when she pressed the button. It takes her about 30-60 seconds to collapse it down and velcro strap it up before putting it back into her backpack. As for the size its just about perfect for most medium sized backpacks.

You have to try this umbrella, maybe not this one but at least give this kind of umbrella a try, its amazing! I cant vouch for how it behaves in high winds, its only October here and the windiness has been at minimums so far, but it has been raining cats and dogs and the absolutely best part about this umbrella is that when you close it the water all falls off without having to shake, open close, swing around like a lasso DOESNT have to happen to get most of the water off before bringing it into the house! Imagine that! An umbrella that keeps the rain out of your house and off of your slippery tile floors! I have to admit I just thought this seemed like a strange way to fold up an umbrella so that it would fit into a cart or bag but that is only a small part of this device. Some other things to know; it is lightweight and has a soft hook handle that is a good grip for people with arthritis. It also has a nice sized loop for hanging. The color outside is black while the inner lining is navy, I dont know why but I think all umbrellas should have a different color interior, it makes it easier to see tears and when a spine has slipped or broken. All in all, this is a great umbrella and I wish Id had it when I was pregnant and struggling through the long Seattle rain season.

This is a pretty unique umbrella! I like that it opens in reverse of your typical umbrella, so that the rain water will stay away from you when closing it! What is also nice is the dual layers of material. Black on top and in my case blue on the inside... Very classy! I have seen where some people said that they had a hard time putting the umbrella back in the holder. It may be a little snug, but I havent had any difficulty at all with putting it away. It is also very easy to open and close! My wife thought it was a little bit heavy, but shes used to those little fold up umbrellas that blow apart in heavy winds! Lol. This is made much be and Im sure will last a lot longer!
