Sharpty Inverted, Windproof, Reverse Umbrella for Women with UV Protection, Upside Down with C-Shaped Handle

This item is a gift for Christmas.

Great umbrella and I love the looks of the print underneath. I’ve always wanted an umbrella that you can get in and out of the car without getting wet. This umbrella works perfectly.

Got this in 2018, and its still going strong! Just used it today in some crazy wind, and it made it through again.

I love these. My last one was left in the house while it flooded during hurricane Ian so I got a new one… last one lasted 7yrs

Just as described and arrived on time

Other than the handle, it is awesome.

Really cute sturdy umbrella!

best umbrella Ive ever had. design is great. both the inverted brella part and the C-shaped handle. I have two of these (one in the car, one in the house). highly recommend. PS: Im a man. Ive given them as gifts. to women and men. I have no idea why it says Umbrella for Women in the description. because of the designs? shrug. who doesnt like dark blue with white polka dots? you can always get plain black.

First off, this is a pretty umbrella, and I do like the inverted feature. For the most part, it works fine. However, there is a learning curve. When you push the button that opens it, you have to release that button almost instantly or you will push the umbrella past the opening point. You may think, Well, duh, obviously. But, the problem is that the way the button is situated, you use your thumb to push the button and then you push up. Its almost a natural positioning of the thumb, so you have to make a mental decision to lift your thumb off of the button when you slide up. If you dont lift your thumb, then the catching mechanism will not engage and the umbrella will start to fold back down. And, on one occasion, I couldnt even get it to close. Talk about embarrassing! The C handle? Nice concept, but it doesnt actually work that well. As one reviewer mentioned, you have to balance it on your shoulder or it will tilt and fall. So, basically, you still need one hand to manage the umbrella. Maybe with more practice, this feature will work better. Oh, and when you come in out of the rain and close it? Yes, it does, for the most part, keep water from falling onto the floor....UNLESS, you decide to hold the umbrella on your arm by the C handle. Then, yes, you guessed it... the water will then drip everywhere because the inverted part is now hanging upside down. So dont hold it by the C handle. Good idea, except its almost a natural inclination to want to slip it onto your arm. The coverage isnt very broad and I found myself getting rained on too much. It just simply doesnt offer enough protection... at least not for the price and the supposed benefits. It did prevent most of the rain from getting in my car, but while walking to or from my destination, I did get a little wet. Im getting the hang of releasing the button when opening, and I may master the C handle, but the one thing that would improve this umbrella for me would be broader coverage. Im tempted to pull out my bigger umbrella, but I like the inverted feature, as well as the pretty design on this one. Oh, and because I paid as much as I did I will continue to use this one. Summary: Pros: * Pretty designs. * Does help to prevent most rain from entering vehicle. * C handle is convenient to hang umbrella on arm. Cons: * Can be tricky to get it to lock into open position. * C handle doesnt necessarily allow hands free use. * Can get stuck while closing. * Not enough coverage to completely protect from rain. Overall, I dont regret buying this umbrella, but Im not sure if Id buy another one if this one quits working.

The first umbrella arrived bent. There was not any packaging to protect it in the box during transit. The replacement umbrella box was also damaged but the umbrella was not. Very pretty umbrella. Would have liked it to open automatically
