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

I liked this umbrella before I used it yesterday and today. I saved this review because I wanted to know if this would work well in the conditions here in DFW Area of Texas. We are in weather that had rain, snow, sleet and hail as well as low temperatures. I have to take my dogs out 1 at a time in this mess. So I used the umbrella and it was big enough to cover both myself and each dog. And it held against the wind gusts. This was not hurricane or tornado winds. My other umbrella would not have done nearly as well as this one does. I do not have pictures as I had the dogs leash in one hand and the umbrella in the other hand. But I can assure you it is well worth the price.

This is good in theory, garbage in execution. I tried to use this for the first time and it broke. I cannot even retract the handle to fold it to ship back.

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.
