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

I have to say this is the fanciest umbrella Ive probably ever owned or used. Even the bag it came in felt premium. Ive used push button self opening umbrellas, and while they close up pretty small, the umbrella itself is also usually pretty small. Theyre also usually pretty thin material without much light blocking. This thing when closed is one of the most compact umbrellas Ive ever seen, pops open insanely quick, and provides great size coverage and light blockage. When its time to put it away push the button again and it pops back closed just as quickly. Whats even better is the inverted closure, keeping all the water on the top/inside of the closed umbrella, you can avoid getting everything and everywhere soaking wet. Ive seen it on sale or with a coupon available for 40-50% off, which makes the price a bit suitable if you ask me. Hopefully it stands up to the weather and lasts as long as the claims would imply.

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.

Im a dollar store umbrella kinda person - $3.99, and I am all set. We dont get much rain here in Las Vegas. But when it does rain, it tends to pour. And after checking the local weather awhile back, I decided to go to the dollar store and buy an me umbrella. The forecast said the area was due to get hammered in a few days, and I wanted to be prepared. So a few days went by, and a few drops started to fall - as it typically does - and I went looking for the dollar store umbrella I purchased. Long story short..., I could not find said umbrella, and those few rain drops quickly turned into a monsoon, and I got a free shower - complements of Mother Nature. The very next day (a bright and sunny day, at that), I saw the subject of this review on Amazon. And I thought that there must have been a mistake regarding the price. I had never heard of any umbrella costing nearly $100 before. Not even close. But after pursuing the product posting, I came to the conclusion that the price - as crazy as it may seem - was probably accurate. So, to assuage the loss of my dollar store umbrella, I ordered this umbrella. And I can tell you all, Ill never buy a dollar store umbrella ever again. This umbrella is truly a beautiful thing. And each time I have used it (twice, as of now), I have felt like Fred Astaire. If you want to feel the same way, and stay dry, get this umbrella. Its worth it.

This umbrella is a solidly built version of the very inexpensive umbrellas you will find hanging on a rack at Walmart. The fabric is superior and the mechanical operation (push button to open) is smooth working and effortless. It opens with a satisfying whoosh. Closing it is a bit harder--the fabric is substantial and getting it all back into the sleeve is a challenge (but it can be done.) I am all for better quality--even when it costs a bit more. This umbrella is great in the briefcase or in the car and will certainly not let you down if it is windy.

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.

The umbrella is pretty sturdy. I like the fact that is easy to open and close. Beautiful designed.

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.

Nifty umbrella , never seen one designed like this. But it works. Easy to pop out and push back in

The umbrella exceed my expectations. Its so practical, durable and beautiful.

This is a beautiful umbrella and comes with multiple bags for storage! It seems a little high priced, but the quality is high and this operates easy, opening with the push of a button and instantly popping open! I’m a girl dealing with skin cancer, and I have to be careful in the sun. So, this will be invaluable to me while out in the sunlight, and also double as a rain umbrella! This will be a standard tool kept in my car for easy access!
