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

The umbrella is very nice and stylish. It’s a double layer of fabric and a sturdy handle. The umbrella is easy to open and close and it gives great coverage from the rain and sun.

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.

Big and keeps the rain away

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.

We all use umbrellas in our lives. Nobody thinks they could be any different from the same old umbrellas everyone uses. But this umbrella is actually unlike any other umbrella I have ever used! It frequently rains in Florida, and getting into your car while it is raining and having an open umbrella is never easy. With this umbrella I have been able to get into the car and close it without soaking myself since it closes invertedly which is a nice change from your standard umbrella. I also like how it is double-layered, so the wind has no chance of ruining this umbrella. It is an excellent umbrella that is well-built and sturdy. I would recommend It and might even buy a second one for the office.

Nice, sturdy full size umbrella. The open and close glider feels strong and is easy to move. The blue is a true navy.

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.

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.

As far as umbrellas go this one seems OK. When open, it is about 37 inches across. I thought it would be larger than that. This wouldnt really work as a golf umbrella. When folded up it is pretty large as well, about 29 inches. It did OK in some rain but it wasnt windy so I dont know how well this would hold up in windy conditions. As you can see, the inside layer of fabric does have some holes in it. That may help air it out if water gets in between the outer layers but since there is no hole with a cover on the outer layer, I dont think it would help much in the wind. It does look pretty nice but I think in the future Ill stick to regular umbrellas. You can get a similar sized umbrella (when open) that folds up much smaller, it easier to carry and is probably just as durable as this one. Whenever I get this out in wind, Ill update this with some comments about the performance in wind.

It isnt really light weight. But I like that it isnt. The umbrella is compact and durable and doesnt take up a lot of space in my bag. And while it doesnt take up a lot of space its a decent sized umbrella! I will say though, when the wind blows it holds up! Which I was surprised at, a lot of compact umbrellas have the problem of flipping inside out when the wind blows, but this one hasnt done that! The two tone color is pretty, The black is shown outside, and the red is on the bottom.
