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

I thought this would be a great gift for the wife to keep in her car. I was partially right. This umbrella has a great design. With the press of a button, the umbrella deploys. Pushing the same button make the umbrella automatically retract in an inverted position, preventing water from dripping. This allows you to get to a place where you can safely shake the water off the umbrella. The downside to this design is that the umbrella is like a cork. It comes in a nice travel case, but once you remove the umbrella from the case and deploy it, it becomes impossible to fit it back into the case. In some instances, a conventional umbrella may be better. When folded, a conventional umbrella is fairly thin compared to the wad of fabric you wind up with when using this umbrella.

Nice color

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.

Like the design but when umbrella is fully deployed it takes away from the stability

I love that the button can both pop it out as well as pop it back in. Its soo convenient when getting back in or coming out of the car. The last umbrella I had would drop all the rain water ontop of me, everytime I would close it. This one is amazing because it holds the water inside. Durable quality material.

This is a super heavy duty umbrella. Ive had umbrellas in the past that popped open by pushing a button, but this umbrella opens AND closes with the push of a button. Its very unique in that it it folds inside out so it keeps the water contained & doesnt leave a wet mess where you set it. It is made of thick material & the sun doesnt shine through so it offers great UV protection & keeps you cooler on sunny days. I feel like two average size people could fit under it easily & stay dry. I havent tested it in really high winds but it seems promising that it wont get blown inside out because of the high quality. The cover that it comes with is also thick material & has a zipper that opens it partway so you dont have to fight to put the umbrella back in it. It is fairly heavy for an umbrella & too bulky to fit in a purse nicely. Its a great quality umbrella but wouldnt pay full price for it though.

Due to the recent heavy rainstorms in our area, this auto reverse folding umbrella is a welcome addition to our umbrella collection. Good features: Worked well during our recent heavy downpours, especially from motor vehicle to destination building and vice versa. Easy, one button operation: press once to snap open and press again to collapse the umbrella, then compress the telescoping shaft. Big ~41 diameter when fully opened and ~13 when fully collapsed, compressed, and folded. Relatively lightweight. Good quality materials and workmanship. Reflective stripe along the perimeter of the umbrella for nighttime safety. Most folks dont know that umbrellas may be used to shield user from the sun too. Gimmicky reverse folding mechanism keeps raindrops on the inside of the umbrella when folded. Includes stout heavy nylon zippered carrying pouch. My go-to umbrella at this time. Concerns: Even with the wet surfaces on the inside of the umbrella, raindrops can still drip out of the top and openings. I simply place it in a passenger footwell that has a rubber floormat or fully fold it and dry it at home/destination fully opened. Susceptible to theft when traveling and placed in umbrella stands outside stores/shops/restaurants at certain foreign countries. Never store a wet umbrella fully folded thatll cause mildew damage. Even at 50% off, the $46 price (Jan. 2023) is a bit high.

This is a high quality umbrella. Fast open and made with tougher materials then your regular umbrella. I see this lasting awhile. Comes with a nice storage pouch with a zipper to slide into effortlessly. I highly recommend this umbrella.

Its a great umbrella. Sturdy and well made.

This is the best umbrella I have ever seen, let alone owned. I wanted to make a video of it but couldnt do a good job of it. It is the strongest and most inventive water catching umbrella I have ever known existed. It has one button to open and to retract the ribs. It is a bit hard to push it back into the handle, but if I can do it in less than 3 seconds anyone can, I am not a spring chicken in physical strength anymore. To me it needs to be harder to push in to keep the wind from breaking the ribs. It is also a bit cumbersome to put it back in its cover unless one develops the strategic way of doing it. The way I do it in one minute is: a) straighten the folds; b) use the strap to start the wrapping of the folds; c) grab my left hand to continue the wrapping until it is tight, then secure the strap (velcro); d) move the top of the umbrella, all tightly wrapped, into the cover, just past the opened zipper, then with the right hand, twist the umbrella clockwise continuously while push the umbrella in the cover until complete. Well, that is how I do it and it works perfectly for me. I am not sure why it has to be so pricey. Is it made of gold, titanium? No, just a strong aluminum metal alloy. Pricey or not, this is the best umbrella ever. I highly recommend it.
