XIXVON Umbrella SE (8 Ribs, Black) | UPF 50+ 99% UV Protection, Lightweight, Automatic, Windproof, Travel Portable | Compact Folding Umbrella

Umbrella serves its purpose. I opens pretty forcefully and is hard to retract the handle when closing. Upon trying to close the umbrella for the first time, I didnt realize how much force it was going to take to push the handle back into retracted position. When I failed to push the handle back properly, it shot back and punched me in the stomach. Which was equally painful and hilarious. Dont recommend having the handle aimed toward your body. (Maybe they could figure out a way to market this for self-defense). Lesson learned and will be closing by applying pressure against the floor.

Nice sturdy thick umbrella easy to use and open and close.smooth and quick open and close fits well without taking up a lot of space in most my purses and bags and most importantly Ive used several times and it has kept me 100% dry even the very windy day didnt make the umbrella bend or fold upward or bend the spikes. Excellent umbrella I would like to eventually purchase a couple more from this brand and seller. Excellent must have purchase.

I got this thinking it would be bigger than it is... It works nice and pops open easy, but its on the small side. Nice for travel, but youre going to get wet.

This XIXVON umbrella has held up to strong storms and wind so far. The automatic button opens and folds the umbrella. It does take some strength to close the umbrella but Ive had little trouble. When choosing an umbrella, I look for one that can withstand the strong wind and windtunnels in NYC - so far, this has been very good!

This is a very nice and stylish umbrella that really pops up with you hit the button. So far it is serving well as an interim and potential backup if I can get another of my preferred brand. The biggest issue I have is the spring can be really tight getting it closed, even depressing the button. I have arthritis and it may just be because I loose grip at times, but it is a bit of a handful to get it closed again. It wants to just pop out, which is a plus, just makes it a challenge to keep a steady grip while sliding it back down. *Updated* Spindles broke and stabbed my hand when I went to lash it closed with the strap. I had closed it and went to wrap it closed and got stabbed by spindles that had broke. I am very disappointed and upset. The weather at least is close to full autmunal transition for wearing hoods, but still this means I am out another uv umbrella.

It’s easy to use , it’s easy to pull out the umbrella and simple to put it back, good in the rain and easy to dry off .

Withstands wind and is pretty tough. Performs very well.

I wanted a compact, heavy duty umbrella to keep in my car. The rain and storms here can be very strong and random with strong wind and rain looking like it goes sideways. This umbrella feels sturdy and heavier than your average umbrella. It only has one button, used to open and close. When pushed to open, it opens quickly right away with no need to click it in place. When pushed to close, it just folds the petals back in and you need to manually push it down. Pushing it down does take a good amount of effort but it feels like thats the tradeoff for its sturdiness and being windproof.

Very length weight, sturdy, travel friendly and durable

Five Stars. 1. Compact size when closed. 2. Nice size when opened. 3. Feels very sturdy. 4. One hand operation. 5. Very good quality.
