It is a beautiful color and kept me dry.

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

Sturdy

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

My wife got an Inverted umbrella through a work promotion. Hers is full length. It doesnt fold down as compact as this one. We found it very useful, especially when getting in a car with a wet umbrella. I wanted something to keep in my own vehicle the majority of the time. I ordered this because it is inverted and because it is more compact. Doesnt take up much room when not in use. This is pretty substantial. Has some heft to it, but good coverage too. Single pushbutton release to open, and it it is quick. Dont blink or you will miss it, and dont be pointing it towards anyone when you hit that button. Has a bit of force to it too when trying to close it back up. Push from the top. Has a hook and loop strap to hold it closed. It is hard to get back in the bag though, but I will probably not even bother since the strap keeps it closed anyway. Yeah, I thought it was a little expensive when I ordered it, but this isnt some cheap frail semi disposable umbrella so I actually think it is worth it. I am pretty happy with it and would recommend it.

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 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.

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.
