Aprjv Travel Folding Umbrella, Mini Umbrella Windproof Portable Compact Umbrella UV Protection Lightweight Strong Sun-Lightweight Tiny Pocket Umbrella for Mens Women

This product is made from very cheap materials and should be $5. I don’t recommend buying this.

This umbrella offers great sun protection & would be ideal when used strictly for sun exposure. Its small & fits easily into a purse, small backpack, etc. Its not a micro umbrella. It offers good coverage of the neck, face, and shoulders if youre small-medium build. However, one gust of wind & the umbrella inverts on you. Its not wind resistant at all. If you planned to use it to protect yourself from sun exposure on a non-windy day, this would be fine. I needed something more functional in multiple climate situations and decided to return this one.

My initial impression was that this umbrella is very compact. Of course it loses a bit of its compactness once opened the first time (Ive never succeeded in getting an umbrella, once opened, to look again like they did when shipped from the factory) but it remains pretty compact. It could fit into a pants pocket, or easily into a jacket pocket. It is lightweight, for sure. I havent had the chance to use it in a storm yet, but it does feel pretty sturdy considering its light construction. I got the white version. It is almost a silvery white on the outside, and black on the underside. It opens and closes fairly smoothly. While it is large enough for one person youd have to be pretty chummy with someone to share this umbrella with them. One of my guiding philosophies has always been, better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. With umbrellas the usual decision centers around whether the threat of bad weather justifies the inconvenience of carrying around a clunky item all day long, especially if it may not actually rain. With this umbrella that decision becomes a bit easier. Youre far more likely to take this one than a regular, full size umbrella. This umbrella can also be used to shade you from the sun, although I dont usually carry an umbrella for that purpose myself.

This is a very compact and lightweight umbrella. Manual open/close is a little slow and clunky, but does work. When closed, the umbrella fits in a jacket pocket. When open, it does cover my head and shoulders, but it is smaller than most other compact umbrellas. The umbrella has lightweight metal arms that dont look terribly sturdy, but I have not had to use it in a major storm yet.

Cute little pocket sized umbrella that opens up to average sized. Typical umbrella material and seems sturdy.

The first time I used it it broke. A waste of money. I wish I could give it less than one star. It is cheaply made It was lightweight and packed in my suitcase well…. I left it in Paris in the trash.

Perfect for travel! Small enough for packing and very sturdy.

Fits perfectly in a backpack pocket. Smaller but still full size umbrella. I like the small bag to carry it in.

I live in the desert. Usually, as most deserts are, it’s hot and sunny. When it rains, it really rains suddenly and ferociously. It’s so infrequent that I often don’t have an umbrella handy. This umbrella solves that problem. It is tiny. It fits easily into a purse; it’s unnoticeable in a backpack. You could carry it in your hand and not notice it. It doesn’t take up a lot of room anywhere. Yet it opens into a full sized (single person) umbrella. It is layered, so the rain does not soak through, even when it’s intense. It dries quickly. The other part of desert weather is the sun. Although humans have created lots of artificial shade, there are still lots of open areas where the sun, especially in the summer, can be absolutely brutal. I’m not a big fan of the brightness either, so anything that can keep the sun off you even a little is a blessing. You’ll see all the cars clustered around a tiny sapling of a tree for that one branch of shade. This umbrella is opaque due to the black layer and has SPF protection (not all umbrellas provided a lot), so you can take your shade with you. Again, the extremely small size is convenient, since you can tuck it in your bag when you’re done with it and find it there on that day you get a terrible parking space a half mile away from your office. The pink is a beautiful shade as well. Maybe it helps reflect some of the heat back. It’s at least psychologically better than a black umbrella is. It will match my pink luggage when I travel. Since I love to travel to wet places like Miami or the east coast, I’m always needing an umbrella when I travel, but I forget that it rains elsewhere and never have an umbrella with me. This one won’t take up any room at all. Very useful umbrella.

Love the size, perfect for travel, and sun protection is a plus.
