Greater than one weekThis is a folding umbrella with a spring-loaded rod. Folded, the umbrella is 12” long and 2.5” in diameter; it weighs just under 1 lb. It has a 1.5” wide strap around the outside that fastens with Velcro. It comes with an open nylon sleeve for storage. The handle is 3” long and round. The button that expands the rod takes up the final inch of the handle; the space below the button on the handle is less than 2” long. When you press the button, the umbrella expands to 24” long and 37” in diameter. Press the button again, and the canopy folds around the rod. To fully fold the umbrella, you need to manually telescope the rod pieces counteracting the internal springs and wrap the strap around the canopy. I find this umbrella provides plenty of coverage and protection from rain. The handle below the button is quite short, though, making it precarious to expand the umbrella with just one hand—it’s really tough to maintain a grip on such a short, smooth handle with just a single finger and thumb. The expanded canopy tends to overshoot slightly, so then you have to pull it back just a tad so that the canopy is rounded on top rather than flat. The rod also takes some effort to telescope back to the un-expanded size since the springs are so strong. In short, this umbrella is quite functional, but some people may find the short handle and the strong springs difficult to deal with.

> 3 dayI wanted a sturdy, inexpensive and reasonably decent looking umbrella and was really surprised with this one. It was ideal sized, and the dimension was what I expected. Not like the cheap small umbrellas. Standard auto open/close, still need to fight with the wind but it is strong and vented, would not flip backward. I personally like the size ratio from folded to unfolded that turns from being able to fit my bag pack or glove compartment, to a robust arc that I was expecting. Build quality is excellent and honestly, if this one breaks or goes missing, I plan to replace it with the very same. The product is sturdy and maybe not the best choice for little kids. The cost was low compared to the similar upper end brand. I took a risk on this seemingly new product with no review brand. Very pleased with my purchase.

And Then There Was Style
> 3 dayVery sturdy umbrella. I was actually going to review this before I used it however a sudden rain storm had me reaching for it. The rain was not only coming down hard but it was extremely windy as well and this umbrella performed great. A couple of times I thought the wind gust was going to turn it inside out but it did not and it held on great. The best thing about it is that it folds up pretty small and I can just stick it under my front seat. Great product! Would definitely re-purchase

> 3 dayThis is my first purchase of this umbrella. It folds nice and small so its great for travel or even just a night out. Opens to a reasonable size and is very durable. Also nice that it opens and closes automatically. When getting out of the car in the rain I just stick it out the door opening and pop the button. No need to get out in the rain then open. Just reverse the process getting in. Highly recommend this umbrella.

> 3 dayThis is a really fine umbrella. The fabric is separated in the middle so that wind can get through without upsetting the mechanism of the umbrella. It opens smoothly with the touch of a button and it goes right back into its case easily and effortlessly. This is a VERY VERY good umbrella and is light. Love it.

Greater than one weekThis umbrella is small and lightweight, yet it is very sturdy. It works well on a wet and windy day.

> 3 dayStates it is durable in wind; however, it turned inside out on the first use in the wind and broke. Not my definition of durable.

> 3 dayTried this out on a windy, rainy day. The vent works well to moderate the winds pull on the umbrella, and it is large enough for two adults to stand together. Not big enough to social distance, but for close friends who hate the rain or romantic partners this will work without being crowded. Works well one-handed, and is easy to get back into the carrying sleeve.
