Trenovo Travel Inverted Umbrella - 10 Ribs Automatic Folding Reverse Umbrella, Upside Down Reflective Umbrella, Compact Windproof Umbrella with Double Vented Canopy for Women Men

This umbrella is called a travel umbrella, but I think it’s a little too big and heavy for long distance travel. Maybe for a quick trip or car trip it would be helpful, but I would be reluctant to bring it for a long s distance trip. As to the umbrella itself, it’s very sturdy and strong. It must weigh over a pound as it’s a beefy mechanism that seems to be very well constructed with nice materials. As other reviewers have stated, once you remove the outer sleeve, getting it back in is nearly impossible. Not a big deal, as this is pretty common and really not necessary. The spring mechanism works great.

This is a Trenovo automatic open/automatic close Unisex travel umbrella. When folded, it measures 12.6 inches long and 2 inches in diameter. It is lightweight black pongee with a matching slip-in case (1.2lbs). It has a generous 46” span when open. There is a wrist strap on the handle to help prevent loss. To open the umbrella, first pull off the nylon cover, disconnect the Velcro closure, clear a 3 foot circle around yourself, and press the “^ or open” arrow on the handle. The umbrella springs out and is now fully operational. To close the umbrella, push the “down or v” button on the handle. Once the umbrella is partly retracted, a very firm push on the center is required to reduce the length to the starting size. Give the umbrella a few spins to even out the pleats, gather the pleats clockwise and set the Velcro closure. To replace the cover, tighten the pleats with one hand while drawing the cover over the dry umbrella. Slide the cover down evenly over the hand-compressed pleats. This umbrella is strong and well made. The high quality and high density 210T “pongee” material is water repellent. Unfamiliar with pongee, I investigated “pongee” on the internet. I discovered that pongee is a “durable and strong silk-like material.” More importantly, “The best quality umbrellas are made of pongee.” Ten reinforced fiberglass ribs on a strong, powder-coated steel shaft support the extra-large, double-vented canopy. Venting allows wind to pass through the center of the umbrella, without turning the umbrella inside-out or breaking it. There is a highly reflective strip along the bottom edge of the canopy for greater safety at night and in low-visibility rain. Fully closing the umbrella may be difficult for children and seniors. Otherwise, this is an ideal solution to using an umbrella in confined spaces. This umbrella makes a great and useful gift. Excellent value for the money. Highly Recommended.

This black auto folding travel umbrella (about a foot tall) came packaged inside of a plastic sleeve along with a storage pouch and a sheet of instructions. I found the auto open and close buttons to be convenient Once the umbrella is opened, there is a vented double canopy inside which allows wind to go through unlike my old umbrella that does not have that type of canopy where it gets flipped inside out when there is wind --which makes of course, makes the good ole traditional umbrella not so helpful on windier days. The reflective stripe that they included along the edges of this umbrella is a good added feature which of course helps to increase visibility especially as I am using the umbrella when it is rainy and kinda dark outside. And because this umbrella folds (in reverse) the rain water is collected and stays in the umbrella to reduce the likelihood of water dripping on me. Of course, I have to remember not to invert the umbrella as the collected water will come out! (Note: I did have a bit of difficulty storing umbrella back into pouch as it is fitted and I had to roll tighten the umbrella in order for it to fit back into the pouch.)

I received this umbrella just in time for Los Angeles’ once or twice a year torrential rain storms. It performed extremely well in driving rain, strong winds, and even a tiny bit of hail. I’ve never had a vented umbrella but now that I’ve used this one, I can’t imagine why it’s not a more common feature. It was great not having my umbrella invert itself like I was an unwitting participant in a Charlie Chaplin film. The automatic open and close feature is delightfully bougie, although if you’re not careful about where you’re aiming the wet umbrella during closure, this will fling a good bit of water at you. I recommend holding it out in front of you and not at all above you while closing. If you’re feeling feisty, aim it at a friend or foe and enjoy their dousing. The umbrella is sturdy with very flexible ribs and durable fabric. It feels like it’ll last me for years and years. The only minor issue I have is that once it was opened, I’ve been unable to get it bundled tightly enough to fit back into the fabric sleeve for storage. Not a big issue to me though and I enjoy the umbrella very much. I’ll be buying more of these for the rest of my family because I’m not sharing this one.

This umbrella will automatically fold itself. It is a little on the heavy side but still able to hold to and from car, buildings, etc. just not wanting to hold it for long periods of time. The handle is thick enough to get my fingers around and hold properly, the right size for my hands and finger width. Easy opening and closing, nice fabric. With the light showers, sleet and nasty weather lately, Im finding this a delight to use.

Love it. Very convenient and way to use and store in a purse

Easy to open. Easy to store.

This umbrella has some nice features. It is compact and light. And the button to open and close works very nicely. The way that it folds will help keep you and your belongings dry. When closing the umbrella it sticks a bit but just needs a push. Unfortunately once it has been opened there is no way to get it back in the carrying bag. I’ve tried so many different ways and have had zero luck. This will still come in handy for the rainy spring days.

This looks and feels like a great umbrella. Ive used it once, and it has held up great. The only downside, which needed to be more to lower the rating, is that there is no way for it to fit back into its cover without a significant struggle. But that isnt a deal breaker for me.

I recently purchased this folding umbrella and it has quickly become one of my go-to essentials. The compact design makes it easy to carry in my bag and the automatic opening feature makes it a breeze to use. The canopy is made of high-quality material that provides excellent coverage and protection from rain. The umbrella is also very durable and well-constructed, I can tell it will last me a long time. I highly recommend this folding umbrella to anyone in the market for convenient and reliable rain protection.
