Coopola Amplify Tail Umbrella - 49-Inch Arc Large Umbrella, Auto Open and Close Button UV Umbrella with UPF 50+ Fabric, 0.92 lbs Lightweight Folding Umbrella, Compact Umbrella with Extended Frame

Easy to carry and not bulky

Nice and compact, and opens AND closes with the button. After it closes you still have to pull the handle back manually. But thats how all of the ones that open and close with a button have worked for me, in my experience. This one is unique in that it has some extra material on one side, making it cover a slightly larger area than typical umbrellas of this type. Its also worth noting that it is pretty well made.

Having the extension is a nice feature to keep from accidentally moving your umbrella the wrong way and having a water drip down your back and backside.

Quality made. Provides extra shade in the sun and extra rain protection. Does cost a little more but it is unique. It is a nice umbrella.

This thing is sweet! I love the message that you are forced to look at while using. It reminds you that even when its raining its a dood day. The size is awesome and its super compact Soni just throw it in my bookbag and I have it everywhere I go. I love it and I would highly recommend it.

This is a light weight and high quality umbrella I ever have, especially the design that keeps my back dry. Im amazed by such a smart idea for the tail umbrella design. Highly recommend for all students.

So 49 may seem like a big umbrella, but its really not. Its your average small umbrella meant for one person but with an extended back. The back was not as extended as the picture implies, but its not so drastically short that it was worthy of docking another star on. However, when I put it to the test, it definitely kept my back dry even with my backpack on. Is it worth $27? Sure! Just be aware its smaller than you think.

PROS: - The canopy is elongated by about 6 inches at the rear. This is adequate to keep my backpack dry. - Comfortable handle. - Large velcro tab. This is very important to me because the other brands velcro disintegrates after a dozen uses. CONS: - None.

I have to say that I am definitely impressed at how large this umbrella expands to given how small it is when closed. I already own a small umbrella from another manufacturer that I keep in the pocket of my car door for rainy days. As nice as that umbrella is, it is as small as Id expect it to be when opened and can really only accommodate one person at a time. I have to say that this Coopola umbrella puts my old umbrella to shame. The Coopola umbrella is SMALLER than my old umbrella when closed but is noticeably LARGER than my old umbrella when opened. I was quite surprised to see it firsthand. This umbrella would be much better suited to accommodate two people than my old umbrella. I also like how theres a message inside of the umbrella that reminds you to not let a little rain put a damper on your parade. While the current price of $28 may be a bit higher than what Id normally pay for an umbrella, it seems worth the extra cost considering youre no longer having to compromise/forfeit convenience for size. Is this a buy? That would be a yes for me!

I like this umbrella, but I felt the handle couldve had a little less weight in the end.
