ElifeAcc Double Layer Windproof Automatic Umbrellas with Anti-UV Straight Folding Travel Umbrella Multi-coloured

I make costumes/cosplays for a living. A young lady I made a Ms. Pac-Man costume wanted a few ghosts to run with this year. Ended up using this for Blinky & it worked amazingly as the top part for the costume build.

Got this for a bigger umbrella, after 3 uses I can’t even get it to close and stay closed without velcroing the string around because it simply won’t latch shut anymore. Without the Velcro button strong it will open back up again which is frustrating as heck

I bought this a bit over a year ago. Used it maybe—maybe—four times. It mainly sits in my bag in case of (rain) emergency and it just doesn’t need much use. Treated very well when not in use. Never put it away until dry. Still, today when I opened it, there was a bit of rust. Ok, not happy, but not necessarily a deal breaker. However, it also would t fully close up. After four uses? Nah. I’ll buy something different. This ended up being worthless

Very easy opening and closing

Would not close after 3 uses.

Hard to deploy and hard to close up.

This umbrella has a double layer of fabric but lite enough for my vacation travel purse. It provides ample shade for one person. The wind will make it flip open but each time it will return to the correct position.

It does not totally retract - it opens fully and snaps; when you go to close it, it collapses but does retract all the way down, you have to manually pull it down and close. I sent my first one back thinking it was an isolated issue; the new one is the same. Disappointed but I like it otherwise.

Bought this for my grandson for Christmas. He loved the color. He has never had an umbrella so is looking forward to using it for school.

First of all, I ordered RED. Not even close to RED. It is a terrible rust like color. SECOND, for me to get it to collaspe, after the top is collasped, I have to stand it on its head on a hard surface and push the handle down because it is terribly stiff. Maybe a 25 year old man could do it, but I cant.
