XIXVON Umbrella Pro (10 Ribs, Red) | UPF 50+ 99% UV Protection, Reflective Safety Strip, Sturdy Windproof, Travel Portable, Automatic | Reverse Folding Umbrella

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 do appreciate how the umbrella opens the opposite direction so that a bunch of water doesnt pour on you as you try to close it. It is a really nice size, quality, and style. Easily opens and closes. Maybe if it had Built-in lights it would be worth a $100.

My 7th grader uses this for when it rains and he walks to/from the bus stop. Love that it folds down so the rain drips out instead of pooling in the umbrella - so you dont have to open the umbrella and let it sit to dry out. I definitely recommend!

This umbrella seems sturdier and thicker than most I’ve had before. It’s a really nice umbrella. It’s nice that it folds inside out to keep the wet side on the inside. I saw the price of this thing though, and I can’t see spending that kind of money on an umbrella. $90 is crazy for an 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.

Umbrella comes with zipper open cover with a pull ring. Easy to get on and off umbrella. Push button and umbrella quickly opens. Push button again and fabric portion of the umbrella folds up - just have to push the very top of umbrella to compact the umbrella handle. In my opinion, I wouldnt let young kids use/open this umbrella because how quickly it deploys, and it takes a little bit of strength to compact the umbrella handle. The umbrella sometimes opens with the edge facing up. Gently pull the edge of umbrella down and the edge curve will change to downward. Not a big deal. Havent had a chance to use in windy conditions yet - will update review if any issues come up.

Ok, I was hoping it would do everything they said it would. In heavy rain and in high wind storms for 3 months strait in California I used this for 2 1/2 months. PROS: Folds up so as to Not Allow the water to drip everywhere. (Super Good) Opens Extremely Fast. Extremely high end materails & construction. The band around circumference of Umbrella lights up great in dark. CONS: Will collapse in high wind storm. High winds causes it to flip upwards in the opposite direction and its Not Easy to return to its downward posistion. Also very very hard to close. Now I am a women without strong arm muscels. It took a lot of time and effort to get this Umbrella to close down like it should. So just beware. Other than that its a very good umbrella. I would try a different one if purchasing again.

I have gone through so many umbrellas in the last few years. I decided I would give this one a try. I was skeptical and I always thought and umbrella was an umbrealla. I was mistaken. I know this one is pricey but it is so worth it and you truly do get what you pay for. I was caught in a storm last week with horrible wind and driving rain. This umbrella does so well in the wind. I love the way it closes as well when I get in the car the waster doesnt pour all over me which is such a nice change.

Not worth the price, but better than the average 5 dollar umbrella you could find anywhere. They advertised perfectly because I was excited to get it, but just a little disappointed with it overall.
