First off I was surprised at the very small size and weight of this umbrella, this is perfect for you to have available most of the time. This umbrella is perfect for you to keep in your glove box or purse for all those summer time pop up showers, always be ready. The stem on it is 19 inches when opened fully and with a 39in diameter it will give you enough coverage to stay dry for the most part. Now I am not sure you could use this as your main umbrella, but a good choice to have around close by at all times. Easy to open and to close just push the silver button on the side at the top of the holding rod to release just like any other. The rod is a little stubborn to colapse, so I just hold the outside tip on the top an tap the handle and it closes easily. I have never had an umbrella you know being a male we just tough it out like idiots but I though this would really come in handy in a roadside break down or a downpour. This takes up no room at all and is of a decent quality and a good price range.

it arrived in timely fashion appears to do what it is supposed - no rain yet so it hasnt been tried out for real

good

With and with out case it’s compact, can be a perfect fit in a pocket, hand bag… water resistant material. Is very dry after getting back from a rain.

Wow! This is one compact umbrella. It comes in a very nice case with a shoulder strap, and the umbrella fits in my hand. When you take it out of the case you will find that it is not round, but more of a flattened oval. I think this will make the umbrella fit better into purses/backpacks, etc. When I opened the umbrella, I had a little trouble getting it to stay open at first. Then I realized that there is a release button on the mechanism that I must have had my finger on. No problem now. I took the umbrella outside on a fairly breeze day and the umbrella handled the wind gusts just fine. And, what amazed me was that I was able to collapse the umbrella, get it into its cover and then into its case just fine. Wasnt really expecting that!

This is one of the smallest, most compact folded umbrellas in existence. Has a great zipper case with adjustable shoulder strap (would be nice if the strap was removable, though). However, it’s pretty stiff when opening and closing, and difficult to wrap it back up so that it fits back into the case. But it works pretty well otherwise.

I love everything about this umbrella: good size and it’s portable. Very easy to open and close.

Now it’s rainy season in my area and I’m glad I bought this nice umbrella. The flashlight keeps me safe to walk in the rainy night. I also like the auto open and close feature and its compact size. I chose the red one and I like it very much. Now I always keep it in my handbag.

Good quality, sturdy, but is a little to heavy for me, to carry around in tote /purse/ backpack. Requires two hands to launch.

The only con is the purse like case. Very feminine. The brand doest think in male clients. There is no way to remove the strap.
