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

This is my first reverse open umbrella and I am very impressed with it. It is made out of pongee fabric and has a slick feel to it. It opens/closes very quickly. I havent use it in heavy wind yet but the fiberglass ribs are pretty flexible. The black and white color combo is distinctive. It comes with a nice case that has a zipper and wrist strap. My only negative is I would prefer the center shaft to be a little longer. Also, the price point is high. They offered a 50 percent off deal when I got mine which is still not cheap for an umbrella but reasonable for the quality. Full price would be way too expensive.

This is a pretty premium feeling product. The case is elegant and has great stitching and also has a high quality zipper to make using the case much easier. There is even a dual color piping inside the case. The umbrella - wow. It’s just so nice. Reflective piping on the edge to make things visible at night and a dual-tone material that has the interior one color and the outer another. The frame for the umbrella also seems sturdier than the average umbrella. Add to this the fact that the open and close mechanism has a solid feel and you do come up with something a step above a basic umbrella. The “reverse” folding style this has is not new. Compact and full size umbrellas have used this method for years. There may be a group of buyers who come seeking premium products regardless of cost. At $93 MSRP this is a tough sell. If you can find it on sale it would be worth a look.

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.

I posted pictures of my $9 Red convenient store umbrella next to this $82 AMAZON umbrella (on sale for $49). I never thought AMAZON would be marking up prices just so it looks like they marked them down. I shop on Amazon to avoid those stores. The Amazon umbrella has good fabric & a reflector on the edge. But the hardware & bars felt the very similar to the $9 flimsy one.

first time trying an umbrella that opens up inside out and they should all be made this way!!!! it’s extremely convenient & drys so quickly after being closed. really like the reflective detail too

I’ve tried these before and I like them quite a bit. The reverse design used in folding this umbrella is not unique to this brand but is one I prefer. This brand takes it to a higher level by offering contrast color on the outer fabric - which almost hides when closed due to the reverse fold nature. The handle and carry case are great and the open and close mechanism is quite sturdy. The carry case has a ring zipper that helps using the zipper in wet conditions. It appears that the manufacturer has opted to change some minor elements but they are noticeably different. One change is the constant stitching inside the carry case. It is a simple thing but spoke of quality craftsmanship. At $92, this is a tough sell. If you find it with a discount available, it is worth a try.

Perfect

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.

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.

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.
