Greater than one weekThis is absolutely the best umberella Ive ever owned. I had a few criteria I was looking for when finding an umbrella, and Ill cover those below. SIZE: Im a pretty tall dude standing at about 63, and that means I generally need a larger umbrella to cover my legs from rain while walking around. However, I also hate carrying around a really long umbrella since theyre so unwieldy and hard to store. This ends up being a big problem since usually, the size of the umbrella unfolded directly relates to how long and bulky the folded form is. Thankfully, not the case here! Since two seperate sections unfold into a large canopy, it has the folded size of a pocket umbrella, and the open size of a long ~3ft umbrella. This is perfect for my use, and when angled into the wind a bit covers most of my body easily. WIND RESISTANCE: Another thing I really wanted was an umbrella that could hold up to wind, and not flip inside out or blow around too much while walking. Thankfully thats covered here too. A benefit of having an inner and outer ring that expand means there is a vent slit all the way around the umbrella, letting air pass through but keeping water out. It handles wind very well, and I couldnt be happier. DURABILITY AND EASE OF USE: I grouped these two together since they go hand and hand in this case. For durability, I have no worries here. There are a few seperate supports under the canopy, and theyre made of thicker steel rods than what Ive seen on cheaper umbrellas. Ease of use is great as well, since just a single button opens the umbrella from a closed position. Much less cumbersome than older umbrella designs. For the cherry on top, pressing the button again after its open, closes it up! The closing action doesnt retract the pole and only folds the canopy, but its still much better than getting your fingers caught on the little metal bar youd normally have to press. When it folds the outside of the umbrella becomes the inside, helping keep everything dry around it, which is another feature that makes this product great. I highly recommend this umbrella for anyone who has similar criteria to mine, and I dont have any complaints thus far. TL;DR: Strong, easy to use umbrella with a large open size and compact folded size. Lightweight, windproof, and easy open/close are just extra quality of life features that round it out. Well worth the price.

> 3 dayCovers well during heavy rain. I like how quickly it closes the umbrella down. However the maneuver to push the handle back in once is closed needs for one to push it back using a bit of force. But it does the required job.

> 3 dayThis is a quality travel umbrella that has found a permanent home in my car. The umbrella is very well made. Its so easy to open and close, and the inverted fold design really keeps down the amount of stray water you end up with when youre getting in the car on a rainy day. Its also very light and reasonably compact. You really cant go wrong for only $20.

> 3 dayOnly used it once and it won’t fold back properly. It’s not really worth the one time purchase.

> 3 dayIve only been able to use this a few times and I got this towards the end of summer and there wasnt much heavy rain. I like the auto open and close feature, it does require a little bit of strength to press it. And it takes some practice to stuff the whole umbrella into the accompanying pouch (which I barely use tbh). The one thing that keeps tripping me up is when I go to velcro shut the umbrella, I always twist it the opposite way its meant to be closed. So far this umbrella has been pretty sturdy and Ill continue to use it.

> 3 dayBought this umbrella for my wife. She takes it on her walks with our dog. On the 2nd use it broke. The umbrella won’t open up any more. What a piece of junk! Don’t waste your money.
