Bodyguard Inverted Umbrella, Large Windproof Umbrellas for Rain & Sun, Compact Umbrella Reverse Umbrella with Reflective Stripe, Teflon Umbrella for Women Men, Travel Folding Umbrella with Cover Bag

There are a ton of options on Amazon when it comes to travel umbrellas. Ultimately, I chose this one primarily because I wanted better quality, canopy size, and strength. I have used it about a dozen times so far, though not in significant wind, but here are my takeaways. Seems reasonably well made, but nothing that stands out other than the rib count and the fact that they use fiberglass in the rib construction. Here are the cons: despite being 210t, the black fabric is thin enough to allow light through which seems odd. It does seemsto shed water quite well due to the teflon coating, well see if it lasts. The handle is hard plastic, I was expecting a rubberized surface with more grip, and its frankly smaller than it should be. The strap is wide nylon webbing, and the opening is not large enough for more than meduim-large size male hands.There is slop in the shaft as you spin the umbrella left and right. May be of no consequence as far as performance, but makes it feel less solid. and finally, the open close action seems unbalanced. The umbrella opens lazily, but snaps closed with great force. The force required to close and cock the mechanism is not insignificant, either. Doesnt really bother me, but it might bother others. I suspect this might be an earlier version of this umbrella, and if so, I would suggest trying the newer one. For the money, not a bad value, but I was expecting to be more impressed.

This is a gift to my Mom & she really, totally loves it. Its beautiful?

Love the size and the reflectors. But it only collapses half way with the button then you have to push it down which is actually kind of hard to do. Yesterday I was having issues with it opening with the button. It was raining all day and kind of annoying it struggles to open when I need it. Will be looking for a replacement

I love this umbrella. It will hold up to the wind and last.

Traveled with it. A little heavy to carry on your wrist but doable. Caught the wing several times and inverted but pooped right back into place. All in all served me well

Supposed to protect better from wind and rain but it’s as fragile as a cheaper umbrella and size definitely smaller than what I thought I was getting

Well made. Somewhat difficult to close. Nice size. Shareable.

the material feels durable.

Very sturdy. Easy to use.

Keep me dry
