> 3 dayThis is a very good umbrella. I purchased it because my old umbrella broke and I liked the idea of adding a little color to the streets of New York. I have not had an issue with wind with it (which is good, because I live in a wind tunnel. Only thing I would change is possibly to include a button to have it detract or at least fold the umbrella up. As it stands now, to close, you pull it back. This is a minor request.

> 3 dayI had an issue with the first one that arrived, but that was promptly and easily replaced, otherwise this umbrella seems pretty solid, large canopy, auto-open, easy to close as well with a very distinct click when it locks back in, and fits in an umbrella shoulder strap bag which I had from a previous umbrella, have even dropped it a couple times by accident and was certain it would have been damaged somehow, but nope, its sturdy, all in all a quality product, good enough that Ive already ordered a second one.

> 3 dayThis is one of the largest folding umbrellas you can get...about 56 across, so you can walk with another person no problem. Its not as big as a full-sized golf or bellman umbrella, which is about 68, but I needed it to fold. Its auto-open, but manual close, which is fine. It has a wrist strap and a comfortable handle. The nylon/netted case it comes with is pretty useless, really, as it has no shoulder strap.

> 3 dayThis is the best umbrella! Big, sturdy, doesnt flip inside out in the wind, easy to open and close, and has a comfortable handle. Its a bit heavier, so it can be tiring if youre carrying a lot and trying to hold the umbrella as well, or lugging it around with you after the rain stops. It is also pretty long when closed - doesnt fit in my backpack or most purses. Still my favorite umbrella.

> 3 dayI love this umbrella! Yes, it is HUGE, but because I hate getting rained on, this is the only umbrella that is big enough to keep me completely dry. Im 52 and 100 lbs, so Im not a big person, but normal sized umbrellas just cant block the rain completely, even less so if its rainy and windy. Id say this is big enough to decently cover 3 people my size, or 2 people if walking side by side. It is double vented and very sturdy. My only con for this product is that its heavier than Id like to have to carry around, especially if Im out shopping or running errands. If it ever need another umbrella, I would definitely purchase this again.

> 3 dayI am loving this umbrella! I live in Philadelphia, where you get a nice little (sarcasm here) wind tunnel effect between buildings. So pretty much any time you get rain, you also have wind. So far this baby has held up through rain and wind. And its plenty big enough to keep me and my backpack covered. The vent really does help in keeping the wind from grabbing the underside of the umbrella, and also makes it easier to manage in the wind, since youre not fighting your umbrella while trying to hold it at an angle that will protect you from the rain. It did invert once in a huge gust of wind, but I pointed it into the wind, and the wind blew it right back into shape. It seems to have suffered no ill effects; nothing broke, or even loosened up.

> 3 dayI love this umbrella. Ive had it a few months and it has withstood some nasty downpours. I live in New York City, and this umbrella is sized just right: big enough to keep me dry, but not so big that Im one of those people who hog the whole sidewalk with my massive umbrella. It handles wind well, too. I only have two criticisms, neither of which is enough to knock a star off: 1. When folded up, its just a little too big to fit in my backpack, which would be nice. 2. Sometimes, when walking, the flap on top will make a rhythmic thump-thump with each step I take Other than that, its perfect for me.

> 3 day2nd one I bought (lost the first one, not due to breakage). This is a great umbrella. Good size, gives plenty of cover for two. Wind vents keep the flaps down under everything but the craziest wind gusts. Its a bit heavy and doesnt fit in your backpack without sticking out, but I prefer this folks away design to the cane style umbrellas, and I feel its built better.

> 3 dayheavy duty but a bit longer then expected. hard to put into say a brief case bag or smaller laptop backbag for taking to work. does not auto close but its not difficult to close. no button to push, just PULL the slide in until it clicks locked closed. because it is heavy canopy its slower to open, but still a great umbrella. not quite golf sized but close to that just seemed smaller.

Greater than one weekIt works. It is the perfect size for me at 6 1. It is the first time Im not all wet even though I am carry an umbrella. I havent had any problems yet with the wind. I havent had it long enough to know if meets all my expectations yet. It is a full sized golf umbrella that telescopes out. It still doesnt fully fit into my timbuktu bag and it is a little heavy. I think for the price, it was a great purchase and I will buy it again when this umbrella stops working.
