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

This is great. It’s compact, easy to extend and store, and the color is cute.

Very convenient for travel and very durable.

This is a folding umbrella with an ultra-small form factor. Folded and in its sleeve, the umbrella measures 7.5”x3”x1.5” and weighs 8 oz. It has a unique rectangular handle that encourages more rectangular than round folded shape. The rod is steel, while the ribs are a hybrid of steel in the center and plastic towards the outer rim. The top of the canopy is available in several colors, while the underside is painted black for sun protection. The rod is telescoping with a manual mechanism; it is 21” when fully extended. The canopy is 35” in diameter when fully extended. I am very impressed with the small size and light weight of this umbrella. It is perfect for travel when every inch and ounce counts. I also like the manual mechanism for the rod. I’ve had several otherwise perfect umbrellas fail due to an overly powerful spring-loaded extension mechanism that simply broke the 2nd or 3rd time I used them. Yes, you need 2 hands to extend this umbrella, but you’re not going to break it just by pushing the button to open it. The umbrella is not the largest that I have tried, but it’s not excessively small either, especially compared to its folded size. I have to admit, I was dubious when I first saw the small package that it came in, but indeed, the umbrella is fully functional, and I hope to get years of use out of it. Overall, this umbrella is a great choice for packing light.

This umbrella is very well made. The umbrellas fabric seems to be a lot more durable than any other travel/compact umbrella Ive owned. It feels sturdy when opened and the ribs feel solid and not flimsy like most other small umbrellas. I had to push up a little harder than I expected to lock it open (based on the umbrellas Ive owned in the past) but I think its because I was afraid to force it since other umbrellas have always seemed like they may break if I push too hard. When it locked, it created a tight and big-enough canopy. The release button is very comfortable, too. I really like the duo-tone color of the umbrella. Between the color and the texture of the fabric, it looks very high-end. Putting a travel umbrella back in the bag is usually frustrating, so I braced myself for a struggle. I didnt try to wrap it up neatly. The strap pulled the umbrella in nicely and it was easy to snap together. I turned down the top of the storage sleeve and the umbrella went back in without issue. Frankly, I was pleasantly surprised. I have a two-week trip coming up during late fall when the weather can be uncertain so this umbrella will DEFINITELY be going with me.

It’s my favorite color first of all. I travel a lot so it’s small and sturdy enough to keep in my bag when needed.

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