> 3 dayIt beads water off and is nice looking. You can bring it in immediately because water doesnt stay on it.

> 3 dayLoved it! Sleek look! I thought it would be a little more sturdy like the black one with wooden handle but other than that it looks great! Havent rained yet for me to test how it holds up but so far, looks great!

> 3 dayThis is a nice light weight umbrella. My son actually took it from me. He really likes the shape of the handle. I prefer more sturdy umbrellas. This one will work great under normal conditions. If its very windy out in not sure how it would hold up.

> 3 dayFull disclosure, we have not used this in strong winds or heavy rain yet, but so far we LOVE this umbrella! It is smooth and easy to operate, seems t have the right balance between strong and sturdy vs light and practical. It seems well made! And bonus.....the black with polka dots canapoy, silver handle, and length of this umbrella makes it a perfect decor accessory in our entry way contemporary styled umbrella holder! For this money, we thought there was enough value that we have decided to return another umbrella we bought for the solid black version of this.

> 3 dayNo more shaking off water like crazy before pulling my umbrella into my car or walking onto my hardwood floors when coming in from the rain! Seriously I didnt realize how much water my umbrellas themselves carried on them -- but this one is GREAT for quickly getting in and out of the car...it really saves times and a huge mess. I travel in and out of several buildings a day for work, so this is awesome. I dont think I can go back to a regular umbrella now, the water will annoy me. That being said, the construction of the umbrella is pretty decent quality. The handle is a grippy rubbery surface, easier to hold onto especially when your hand is freezing cold and wet. Size wise, it is not gigantic -- the description makes it seem huge like a golf umbrella, but its about the size youd expect from a stick umbrella: bigger than a fold-up compact model, but not ginormous. It would be comfortable for two people to walk under, or perfect for one person who doesnt want to get wet at ALL (me). It has an automatic opening feature, manual close. Its definitely the umbrella I go for now every time -- the fact that its not compact doesnt matter at all, because the water repellent thing is so awesome it could be the size of a car bumper and Id still carry it...(that being said, its a very normal size to carry, and very lightweight, actually). Im genuinely afraid somebody is going to steal my umbrella now. Its very steal-worthy. Off to write my name on it in permanent marker...

> 3 dayIt works well and I like the way it looks but it isnt nearly as water-resistant as they would like you to believe.

> 3 dayThis is a nice, sturdy umbrella thats lightweight and provides coverage for one person. I especially liked the auto-open feature, though I would have preferred an auto-close feature as well. Im not sure I really noticed the NeverWet technology, though it would be convenient to not drip all over the place when walking between my office and the subway. Overall, this is fine, but nothing special.

> 3 dayThis umbrella arrived bent and broken so I was not able to test it out. I do not think the material was very strong otherwise it would have withstood the shipping experience. I returned it and decided not to try another one.

> 3 dayOk, so this came in the nick of time!!! It has been raining here for the past three days and according to the forecast it will be raining for the next week to week and half. So, I was so glad when I saw this. The end/ferrule of the umbrella is quite long. Longer than normal. The umbrella itself is smaller than I thought. Not going to be big enough for two people, unless its a smaller person or two children. Its all plastic and I was actually expected metal or a strong wood or something more stronger/sturdy. Its an easy push to open button on it. Now, to the NeverWet part. I thought it was the neatest thing ever. The easiest way I can compare this is, when my dad taught me to take care of my car he taught me about rainX and how if I used it on my windshield my wipers would have to put in as much work. So, to me its like there is some kind of repellant on the umbrella and keeps the water from sticking to the umbrella. Its pretty neat and amazing. Now I can not say if this is temporary or not, it may be. Only time will tell. For now, no complaints other than the size and the fact that its all plastic (feel like it will break easily), for that I deducted a star.
