The Original Repel Reverse Umbrella - Windproof Inverted Umbrella w/ 8 Fiberglass Reinforced Ribs - Easy Upside Down Open And Close - Large Umbrella Protects Against Rain, Wind, Snow and Sleet

Its very easy to open and close and it doesnt drip all over you when you close it up.

The little metal posts stick out past the end of the umbrella and even the slightest amount of bumping bends the ends that hold the fabric of the outer layer of the umbrella. Update: Ill update it to 4 star. I contacted support and they immediately sent out a replacement. Ill just have to be extra careful with putting it down in the car so it doesnt snag on the carpet.

Handle wasnt glued onto umbrella

It is great for getting into and out of the car while its raining. Great invention.

If you arent sure about purchasing this umbrella, dont think twice! I recently moved to Rexburg for college, and I can say that it rains often and the wind blows hard, but it isnt an issue with this umbrella and I couldnt be more happy about the quality! Its wind resistant, I love the colors, and its easy to use. The weekend before my birthday I bought myself the red one, and my mom bought me the purple flower patterned one- I was sad at first but it really isnt a problem- I decided to hold onto both of them and keep one at home as a backup I loved this umbrella so much. Dont think twice, this umbrella is amazing and it wont let you down!

This is a great product, but the whole LIFETIME REPLACEMENT GUARANTEE equals no guarantee! Ive owned this umbrella for almost two years now with no issues. However, one of the metal tips that secure the double canopy in place recently snapped. Im not sure how the damage occurred, but now the bottom layer of the canopy is hanging loose. I dont believe the product is defective. This is likely something caused by human error. My issue is not with the umbrella, but with customer service. I reached out to them inquiring about repair services, and to my surprise, they responded within 24 hours. Their response was, Thank you for reaching out! At this time, we do not offer repair services. However, in regards to our Replacement Guarantee, if anything happens to your product simply reach out to us thru this email providing your Order Number and state the issue. From there, we will send you a replacement product free of charge (with no return required). I replied the following day, but I never heard back! I followed up eight days later requesting a status update, only to be ignored. Eight more days later, I still have not received a response or a replacement! Honestly, if I didnt qualify for a replacement, I wouldve been fine. But some professional courtesy wouldve been nice! As much as I love this umbrella, this whole ordeal left a terrible taste in my mouth. So much so that I find it difficult paying for a replacement, something that I wouldve gladly done before being neglected.

It works great if there is no wind. Anything over 5mph sides will bend and it will turn inside out.

I purchased this umbrella in late Spring. It arrived defective so I contacted the company. A replacement arrived, almost immediately. The new umbrella appeared to be okay- but I do not write reviews until I actually use a product. First I was away for 2 months ( in a location that doesn’t get summer rain! ) I returned home and started carrying the umbrella every time they forecast rain.— it never rained! But, I comfortably carried it, on my shoulder using the included case! Eventually I had some rain- but the minimal drizzles didn’t meet my review criteria! Today, it finally rained! It poured! I was able to use my umbrella. I love it! I love how it closes and I have no trouble opening it! I loved that I wasn’t getting drenched entering the car. One of the reasons I chose this umbrella was that it’s handle is shorter than similar umbrellas from other companies. I feel I made the right selection and I’m sending a link so a friend can purchase it too.

I love it. I try it today during a very rainy and windy day and It worked perfectly. The material is sturdy and the design is beautiful.

My daughter always compliments my identical umbrella when she visits, so I bought one for her, too. She was very pleased.
