I was surprised by the size and weight of this travel umbrella. Its about 13 long and close to a pound in weight. I am used to much smaller and lighter weight ones. This however, does seem to be quite sturdy and I believe will be durable. The spring action is quite forceful, so you will want to hold away from your body when opening and closing this umbrella. The inverted design does not prevent dropping or splashing.

Easy to open. Easy to store.

I love this umbrella but it does take a lot of force to close it

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

This is a nice, sturdy umbrella. It goes up and down easily. While I havent used it on a windy day yet, it seems sturdy. The only draw back is that I cant get it back into the sleeve. Its fine for me, as I dont really need it but worth noting for those who like to store theirs in the cover.

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.

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 is a great umbrella. Folds up easy. Very easy to get the wrap around snapped. It is large to cover you from the rain, but compact to put away. I use it in the snow also. Well made and all stitching is down correctly. Fits well in the car. I highly recommend.

I love how fast this umbrella deploys and Ive never had one that will fold up again by the push of a button. Its a nice size and weight, but I would have given it a perfect 5-star review if it wasnt for the sleeve it comes in. I like having something like that to keep it in when it is in my car, but it is very difficult to get the umbrella back in its sleeve once it has been deployed.

I ordered this product for a couple reasons: 1) I always seem to lose my umbrellas…probably because I get agitated with them LOL and 2) I was so tired of having to fiddle with a toddler, a wet umbrella, a car door, etc. I’ve wanted an inverted umbrella ever since I first saw one on a QVC advertisement, but it’s never been a need. Well, fast forward to the rainiest winter ever and none of my umbrellas are to be found and my little was getting soaked! I hoped on Amazon just browsing around and this was recommended for me, so I grabbed it! I’m soooooo happy. I finally have an umbrella that makes sense, doesn’t leak water everywhere, and then I can actually get in my car with AND still stay dry. It’s an awesome quality and not too heavy. It comes with a traveling case, which is also handy as an extra measure to make sure water isn’t getting everywhere in your car. It does come with instructions, which this tired mom brain appreciates lol. I’m so pleased with this find!!!!!! I may just go dancing in the rain now haha
