VAN BEEKEN Umbrella Windproof - Wind Resistant Travel Umbrella with Teflon - Light Compact Automatic Umbrella - Portable Folding Umbrella for Men Women

Was looking for a good umbrella after my old one got destroyed by the strong winds. This umbrella is extremely sturdy and held up against strong winds. The color and design is really nice as well. The button on the umbrella releases the umbrella in a nice quick fashion to shield user from rain. Umbrella stick is a little shorter than expected but width of umbrella is enough to shield user and backpack.

Pleasantly surprised by the case to keep the umbrella when not in use. A waterproof hard case and a zipper pouch for easy storage. I loved that this was easy to open. No fumbling in the rain. This umbrella is made sturdy because it has more aluminum ribs than normal for this size product. The Teflon coating is great for repelling water and for fast drying. I will keep this in my car for those surprise showers. Love this product and would highly recommend.

I think this Umbrella is a great investment. It is big enough to cover you and things if you are carrying them. It is also sturdy enough to hold up in high winds. The carrying case is a plus and is also very sturdy and well made. I am quite impressed overall.

f you are looking for function AND style this is the umbrella for you! This umbrella comes in a padded zippered capsule-shaped soft case which lends an upscale and stylish view to onlookers when it’s simply waiting for use in your car, home or office. When you unzip the case you find that the umbrella is swaddled in the usual waterproof cover most of us have seen before. But this umbrella is far from the usual. The smooth wood handle is not only beautiful with its tool engraved Van Beeken signature but the handle feels nice, natural and is easy to grip for small ladies’ hands like myself and the button is easy to push triggering the umbrella to open. I tested this umbrella out on our Florida vacation on a windy, rainy night was able to keep myself dry while walking around to get my toddler out of her car seat and the umbrella also resisted that dreaded wind hazard that promptly sends your umbrella to an early grave with its ability to turn your umbrella inside out.

This is a great umbrella.very easy to open and shut with a small button on the handle. Comes with a zippered case and a cover that the umbrella fits into. Then zippered case protects the umbrella when storing. It. You will not be disappointed with your purchase.

GREAT UNBRELLAS BUT ARE HEAVY. MY ADVICE IS TO TAKE THEIR COVERS OFF. PUT TWO LIGHT WEIGHT GROCERY STORE PLASTIC BAGS IN PURSE. IF IT DOES RAIN, AND YOU DO USE THE UMBRELLAS, PUT THEM IN THE BAGS, WHICH ARE IN YOUR PURSE. THIS WAY YOUR PURSE WILL STAY DRY IINSIDE.

I look forward to using this umbrella for college. It fits really well into my bag. It comes with a case for it, which gives me peace of mind in case I need to store it for a little time when wet. The single button to open the umbrella is one of the other reasons why I chose to purchase this product. UPDATE: 3/29/2020 This umbrella is great; however, after some uses, it has been starting to break down and become loose with strong winds.

Excellent umbrella so far, but I wouldn’t call it small. With the carrying case is like I’m walking around with a big sausage in my hand.

6/5/2019 My thoughts on my purchase of the Van Beeken Professional Umbrella The first thing that I noticed right away, was the zippered hard case the umbrella came in. And, much to my surprise, there was another softer case protecting the umbrella. The handle was wrapped in bubble pack to protect it, another plus. With a push of the button, it opened without a hitch. With a push of the button, it closed without a hitch. I have never had an umbrella that opens and closes with the push of a button. Umbrella’s I have owned in the past only closed when you had to fight with it while pushing down to close as I got rained on. So much for protection with that kind of umbrella. It happened to rain tonight with a considerable amount of wind. The umbrella held up beautifully. I highly recommend this umbrella.

I bought this about a year ago and have used the umbrella 4 times in that year. It has broken because it cannot withstand any type of wind. Also, the silver part just above the wooden handle started coming off and leaves these silvery flakes all over your hands. Anyways, its trash now, so do yourself a favor stay away from this umbrella and get one that is more durable it wont last. Poorly made.
