XIXVON Umbrella Pro | UPF 50+ 99% UV Protection, Reflective Safety Strip, Sturdy Windproof, Travel Portable, Automatic | Reverse Folding Umbrella

There is a lot to like about this umbrella, but I also find it to not always be the most convenient option. The umbrella ribs are robust and certainly hold up impressively within a heavy downpour or windy day and the umbrella is deployed rapidly and easily. If using this for sun protection only, it is a little simpler to put away. On a rainy gusty day, while this umbrella is stronger and more robust it also takes a lot more effort to put away. You almost need to find cover briefly, spin off the excess water, close the primary part, but then the harder part comes compressing the umbrella back down. If you can get into a lobby or indoors first, then it is a bit less awkward and difficult (whereas trying to do this rapidly outside before entering a turnstile for instance isnt simple or quick IMO.) While the umbrella is a comfortable size and offers a pleasant level of protection from the elements, I dont find it to be larger than other umbrellas I own considered just for one person. Personally, I would find it uncomfortably awkward to try to shelter a 2nd adult with me under this on a rainy day (though I only intend to use this for personal use.) Overall, the umbrella is crafted with high-end materials, and built well to endure the elements.

This is a sturdy umbrella. Thick materials. Easy the deploy and take down.

When I first opened it it stayed inside out and I had to pull the umbrella into the normal shape. I have had trouble since. It does keep the water from going everywhere which is nice. It is really tough to close though so if you are in a hurry, you are going to get wet. That is why I gave it 4 stars. I am hoping in time it is easier to shut but for now you almost need three hands to close it.

The umbrella exceed my expectations. Its so practical, durable and beautiful.

The Umbrella itself is a great umbrella - The material is nice and I have used it in a few Florida storms and it is sturdy and stands up to heavy rain and wind. It is very easy to open and comes with a case that zips around it so storage in a purse or in your car is also relatively easy. Closing it however is another story - I found it very hard and difficult to close - and the price tag is rather high for nothing terribly remarkable.

I love the fold up concept for not getting everything wet inside. This was the right size to fit in my outer mesh pocket of my work backpack. Pros Great design Reflective edges Folds up and down easily Portable Cons Handle strap broke off on 1st use

This is an automatic open and close umbrella. What is really handy is that it is a reverse folding umbrella, the folds go up rather than down so when you get into your car you don’t get rained on from your umbrella.

Great idea the really works. This has become out go to umbrella. Small size and easy to fit into the car.

Like I need another umbrella. But this one is my favorite because of the design. I love the upside down umbrellas. They make sense

This is a great folding umbrella, well made and collapses for easy storage. Sturdy construction. With 10 ribs. provides us protection and includes reflective strips for protection and making you visible. I like this because it’s so easy to pack when traveling and provides dependable protection with bad weather.
