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

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.

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.

Big and keeps the rain away

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.
