Newsight 16-Rib Auto Open Stick Umbrella - Windproof Dual Fiberglass Ribs, Waterproof Seamless Canopy, High-Density 230T Pongee, Rubberized J Handle, Soft End, Black Umbrellas

We’re just getting used to a four season location - and a spring with rain showers that come up unexpected. We were unprepared with too few umbrellas - and several of the wrong kind. The first strong wind eliminated most of them! This is a strong umbrella which can withstand wind and driving rain - it is well made, and looks attractive. We will be ordering several more, as we need to have them on hand for guests.

A few years ago, there was a story on NPR about the umbrella repairmen of Paris; a broken umbrella gets repaired and restored, not tossed in the trash like they do here. Where here is the umbrella youll want to get repaired if anything ever happens to it! This umbrella is absolutely gorgeous! A beautiful blue cloth material, cut like a flower on top of the most elegantly opening umbrella you will ever own. Youll feel magical when you open this umbrella and feel like a raindrop fairy! Perfect gift for someone who will appreciate the artistry and beauty of this special umbrella.

I like this umbrella. At first look it seemed ordinary. After a more detailed examination it was obvious that it was anything but. It is well made with innovative design. The ribs are much stronger and certainly more supportive than traditional designs. It becomes quite apparent when used for the first time in windy conditions. You can feel the difference. Not only the ribs but also the handle is strong. It has a nice J shape that is comfortable and secure to hold. It also hooks over your arm for easy folded up carrying. The auto opening mechanism is smooth and the thumb button that actuates it is effortless to press. A good quality design is a pleasure to use. This umbrella gives that kind of experience. Seeing that it sells in the mid twenties makes it a good value also. Excellent quality at a good price. 5 stars.

Here in Chicago, we can get pretty gusty rain. Its important to have an umbrella that is vented so that the wind flows through and doesnt damage the umbrella (much), while still protecting the user from the rain. This one is pretty stylish. The blue is a good rain blue, and the ribbed structure is unique, one design I havent seen before. The fabric doesnt seem like its stitched very well, but shockingly its been holding up for months around here.

Though I have not had it long, I really like this umbrella. The light touch button above the handle makes it is easy to open even if you are juggling multiple items. Held up to rather windy days weve had here recently. Seems to be sturdy construction. The curvature of the umbrella when completely open provides good protection from the rain.

I specifically got this umbrella for the color pictured, it matches my company, so I was going to use it when I do fundraisers and outings, but it came and the color is a VERY dark Navy Blue. Im not sure if thats what they are calling the Tibet Blue as in the description, but its not even close to the picture. The umbrella itself isnt anything special. Its not anymore light weight or well designed than any other golf umbrella I have. It is easy to hold and keeps the rain off, like a standard umbrella. Overall, the color disappointment made this one relatively useless to me, as that was my major reason for selecting this.....

Strong and durable

Held up well during some torrential rain and wind in the week or so I’ve had it, seems well designed and built and I have a feeling it will turn out to be well worth the price.

I had great hopes for this umbrella since we live in a windy city. It really isnt no sewing. The ribs are attached by sewing, but to an interface instead of to the tips of the umbrella alone. It can break. It is stronger than many umbrellas but is not worth as much more than it is selling for.

I am very picky with umbrellas, specially because I love old style ones. This is just perfect, wide enough, strong material and not too heavy. I just one will extra love if they make it in more colors.
