Great

Pros: The design is quite lovely. Large enough to shelter 2 people . High quality, light weight , and folded small Cons: I couldnt find any

I ordered three small umbrellas, all different brands, for our trip to the UK next week. This is my favorite of the three. It opens and closes at the push of a button, fits in its case nicely, and its a well made, strong umbrella. Im not concerned it will break with normal use, it definitely is well-made and sturdy.

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 is the umbrella that sits in my bag all the time just in case and it has done a great job at being an umbrella and holding up against the abuse it faces in my bag. The one-button open and collapse is a great idea that has worked perfectly for me each time and makes getting the umbrella out quickly and really easy. However, most of its value comes from being able to almost instantly get it collapsed and into its bag when I get inside so water is not dripping all over the floor. When used in the rain it has held up great even in some decently high winds it hasnt broken or folded over on me. Finally, when speaking about the durability of the umbrella it is amazing. It has sat at the bottom of my backpack that gets used daily carrying around heavy laptops, books, and sometimes groceries with no issues with the umbrella. No tears, breaks, or bends, and no signs that its close to breaking either. Overall just a great umbrella that I am very happy about.

It would be very difficult not to rate this umbrella 5 stars. Everything about it screams quality. Honestly, if you didnt know it was made in China youd think Germany or maybe the UK or somewhere they take umbrellas seriously. The canopy is made from Polyester and the main shaft and the inner part of each of the ribs are made of steel. The outer part of each rib are made from fiberglass. As you can see from my picture, there are also springs, tension arms, rivets, connectors.... its made from about 2 or 3 times as many parts as the cheap umbrellas I own. I suppose that might mean more opportunities for failure, but it all just seems well crafted. It springs open at the press of a button, and the top part collapses again with another press. One thing about this..once youve pressed the button to close it, you need to compress it all the way down again and fully close before re-opening. This is because some of the control cords inside the shaft area dont go back in until you do and so it wont lock out. Not a real issue, but something to know. It does take some force to close it fully again, but I dont find it an issue. If I were going to try to find fault its that the little black sleeve it comes with will just kind of fall off. It has no way to keep it closed. It would have been nice if it had a drawstring. Also, I found it slightly difficult to get the umbrella compressed down to its original diameter where the tab can wrap around it fully to engage the velcro. There is also no vent for wind if thats important to you. But overall, this is a high quality umbrella and feels like it will last a long time. Im quite pleased with it. I will update this review if anything changes. Like, subscribe...oh, wait. Thats something else....
