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

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.

This is an excellent umbrella! It comes in a protective zipper case, then in a sleeve. The engraved wooden handle is smooth and easy to grip and gives the umbrella a sophisticated look. The push button opening works perfectly. When open, it is easy to hold and has good coverage. It takes a little more force than expected to click it back into place on closure, but I attribute that to the solid, sturdy design. Very happy with this umbrella!

I use a lot of umbrella living in the tropics and this product is really one of the best I have encountered. Very well made, solid open/close action, really waterproof and above all weighs less than most. The only reason it gets 4 stars is because the ridiculous way it is packed, what a waste. It arrives as a sturdy, super nice zipper box packed inside a good quality clear plastic sleeve, open it and inside is has another material sleeve, really? why the super nice zipper box? Why triple packed, people may keep the material sleeve but nothing else, just a huge waste.

The product came nicely packaged in a zipped case and umbrella cover. I really like how lightweight and easy to store it is, and the one touch button thing is pretty awesome. I never liked the older things where youd have to practically force the umbrella back down to compact size. It dried off pretty quickly too, and given I tried this out in a pouring thunderstorm, I was pretty shocked that it looked like I never took it outside not even 5 minutes later. It held up well with the wind and it didnt feel as though I had to fight it to stay where I wanted it to be. It feels like a pretty great umbrella!

I must say I was VERY IMPRESSED by this product. Granted I havent field tested it in wind and rain but I will. I can see light through it and that could be both good and bad, I would be careful using it to protect from the sun. But as far as structure and amenities I am very impressed! I opened it in 17mph wind and it flexed but didnt bend.

Very nice quality and nice add-ons with zippered slipcover and sturdy zipped case. Have only had a chance to use once, but the push button to open and close worked well. Wish I had been able to test against wind, but am not sure that it would hold since there doesnt seem to be any vents.

Beautiful packaging, zipper hard case plus nice soft case. Folds tight and is small. Opens big and bold. Seems sturdy. Ill know more on the next really windy day.
