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

I was curious about the hype and wanted to see what an $90+ umbrella would be like. Yes, its good quality, but is it worth the price - sorry... no. Reflective strips are a good idea though and not sure why other brands do not have this. The inverted style is unique but I thought it was a bit confusing.

This umbrella has a nice reverse-folding design that contains the wet surface of the umbrella when its folded, thus decreasing the chance of getting everything around you wet after coming in out of the rain. It opens easily with a push of the button, but it will initially be inverted -- its easy to bend it down to the normal shape, though. Closing the umbrella requires pressing the button (which collapses the umbrella in the abovementioned reverse manner), wrapping the velcro fastener around the umbrella, then compressing the telescoping part until it locks -- this part may make your hand a little wet, since youll have to push from the top of the folded umbrella. Material seems nicely durable, and the overall build quality is solid. They thoughtfully included a zipper on the case to widen the mouth, since the folded umbrella will inevitably be fatter than when it originally arrived in its packaging.

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

I LOVE this umbrella! It has served me well this entire summer and fall. I originally got it to bring to a festival this summer, where we camped for 5 days and were in the sun at high altitude nearly the entire day. In previous years, there was no amount of sunscreen that would help defeat the sun... So I got this thinking it would be great for dual purpose - both to get out of the sun OR for rain. As it turns out, this went through both intense periods of sun exposure AND downpour storms - I have absolutely no complaints. When sitting at the festival, I had a low-sitting chair and I was able to expand the umbrella to cover my legs - it did a phenomenal job and I couldnt be happier. Comes with a little carry bag as well, and the pop open option is surprisingly satisfying.

Sturdy umbrella. Rather fancy. Great for the car

Pretty sturdy, pretty good product but extremely expensive for what it is. It is well made but not as well made as I expected considering I spent $50+ on an umbrella. The reflective safety strip isnt that reflect at night so keep that in mind. It does well against the wind but still manages to flip over from time to time - that is my key beef with it so thats why I returned it...plus it is really expensive for what it is and does not stand up to the retailers claims.

I just received this umbrella, so this review is right out of the package. Additionally, Ive never had a high end umbrella, so I my comps are your standard umbrella. But wow, it really does seem to be a solid umbrella. The materials, construction and weight are all strong. Based on feel alone, I have a lot of confidence that this umbrella would withstand significant wind and weather, while at the same time being a great size for everyday use. Its compact, fits well in my car, but still provides good coverage. Im excited to see how it performs and stands up over time, but so far, so good.

I live in the sunshine state, so a white exterior with light-blocking interior is really nice. I like the reverse fold to keep the water inside the umbrella, Ill just need to remember to open it up and let it dry out once I get home. The reflective strip on the edge is cool and a smart addition to the design. Mechanism works well and it popped right open first try. Second try it was bent the wrong way, but it popped back into proper shape really easily. The metal framework, fabric, and stitching all look of good quality and Im anticipating using this for years. Its nice and compact and a cool touch that they included 2 sleeves for the umbrella.

This umbrella comes in a carrying bag, but also has a protective cover. It has a hanging strap, as well. You just push the button and it telescopes out. Then push down and it closes down. Then you just wrap the strap around it and you can put it away. As luck would have it, it rained in my state today, and I was able to try it out. It repelled the water perfectly! It’s really well made and I’m thrilled with the product. I can highly recommend it.

I had to return the product because it would not open. The shaft fully extended and wouldn’t collapse. Hopefully the replacement will operate correctly?
