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.

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.

I love that you can open AND close with a push of the button. High quality materials. Good size and not too heavy. Even the carrying bag is nice and includes a zipper for easy stowing.

I’ve never seen an umbrella like this. The design is truly unique. I’ve been able to test it in the Florida rain and sun and, let me tell you, it’s a workhorse of an umbrella! I really like the seamless way it lets up and down. The button on the handle is easy to press and doesn’t change the feel of the handle grip. It does hold up in windy weather. However, I didn’t get to test it in wind speeds higher than 15mph. It’s a really nice umbrella but I can’t find a feature to justify the price. That doesn’t mean it’s not worth it. Ultimately, it will come down to personal taste .You will be asked where you got this umbrella from so be ready for the attention. I also received a ton of compliments. I have never received compliments on an umbrella.

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.

I had to return the product because it would not open. The shaft fully extended and wouldn’t collapse. Hopefully the replacement will operate correctly?

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.

Thanks the gods for the zipper on the cover....is on and easy off! Quality zipper at that! Seems that this product is made with quality material. I can tell its flexible and should withstand some decent wind outdoors! Opens with one push of a button and catches water when closed so very little to no dripping from n the ground when closing! The neon strip is definitely a plus although not as prominent as i expected. Im guessing the high density pongee is really good material because i can see this is very flexible. Not sure whether the joints and metal side of the umbrella will stand the test of time but from my experience with them....this one is made better overall! I would recommend based on my initial handling of it and what i see as far as quality made with good material. Its worth the price and is in fact as advertised!!

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.

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!
