Rain-Mate Compact Travel Umbrella - Pocket Portable Folding Windproof Mini Umbrella - Auto Open and Close Button and 9 Rib Reinforced Canopy

I was able to open the umbrella all the way. But when I tried to collapse it, it won’t budge.

I have had this umbrella for three years now and I can say I truly love it. It hasn’t broken yet and it’s small and easy to open and close. It was perfect as a college student who never had time to check the weather, I brought it with me most days. I graduated in the spring and I don’t do much walking to need an umbrella anymore but I keep it in my car and have used it a few times going to work and it’s great having the black on top and the clouds underneath because it appears professional while still have a fun element to it!!!

Beautiful umbrella but way too heavy. Couldnt take it on a trip because of the weight

It doesnt even rain here but I had to buy this. A rain jacket would make much more sense, but if I open this it just makes me smile. It will probably take a long time to know if this thing will last but it feels pretty solid and operates smoothly. All good.

Took it to Italy and worked out great. Not too heavy and easy to open and close. Fit in my backpack and the color was a plus.

This umbrella is not very compact and definitely not lightweight. The 2 things I need for travel. Returned.

There’s no doubt that this umbrella looks like it’s made to last. The opening and closing functions work well. The design is impressive. Time will tell as I have not used it yet. My two complaints are the weight and the small handle which might get uncomfortable if you are holding it a long time. But I got this umbrella to carry with me on hiking trails so those two things could be a negative. But if this umbrella is used for most situations where it would come in handy I can see this getting mostly five star ratings.

This would make a great gift for someone who takes the bus or just likes to walk in the rain. Its seems too nice of a product to just stow away in a closet or car. The spring load that allows for easy opening might be something a senior has to get used to but I cant imagine purchasing another type of umbrella ever again. It really does show the companys standard for excellence.

Love styling and ease of open and closure

This is a very nice umbrella. Very sturdy, but I dropped a star from 5 to 4 because its quite heavy and bulky for a woman to put in her handbag. However, I still recommend it, because the cloud design on the inside is interesting, and also because I saw the exact same umbrella on a big well known department stores web site, and the identical umbrella was going to about $60 more. Amazons price for this sturdy umbrella is worth the price.
