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.

Like the handle and the wind proof design frame with one piece fabric.

Sadly, I was disappointed in the color, its not as bright as I hoped, just an ok shade of blue. Other than that, its got a sturdy construction and nice size. If you dont mind the actual color, its a very good umbrella.

This is a great umbrella. It deploys easily and smoothly. It handles windy days just great and doesn’t turn inside out. It’s easy to grip and keeps the rain off of me on most days.

This umbrella has worked well. For the time that I have had it there have not been any issues. It has a coating on it that causes water to bead which helps it dry quickly so it does not form a puddle inside. I only have two complaints but they are buyer specific. First is that the umbrella is too short to act like a cane (not that I would recommend putting full body weight on it.) Second is that the hook curves in too much. Other than those two things it is a good umbrella that does its job.

5 stars for the design: one piece 230T fabric (most competitions are 180T - 210T with multiple stitched fabrics) for better water proofing. Double ribs all the way and split at the end to provide much even strength and even support throughout the entire fabric surface. It will withstand much stronger wind no doubt. Never see another umbrella like that. Kudos to the engineering! So why 1 star off? Well, the packaging provides no protection. It arrived bent just above the handle so it won’t open (looked like the carrier dropped something heavy on it). I did get a replacement quickly. But it is not the reason for 1 star off. I liked almost everything about this umbrella, except the new one is so hard to retract to the locking position with both hands. Not sure if it is defective or by design. I have never had one umbrella requires that much effort to close. Not necessarily. I don’t want to bother with trying another replacement to find out if it is just a defective or by design.

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 just love this umbrella. It is chic and sleek and I love the color. It comes out of and goes into its sleeve easily and the umbrellas overall look speaks to class and sophistication. It is quite large, so you will be glad to have it if you get caught in a downpour. It is quite durable. This umbrella is worth the cost and something I not only recommend, but would also buy whenever I need another umbrella.

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 really like this umbrella. Ive used the travel umbrellas for so long, its nice to have a full size umbrella. It is easy to open and close, and I like the seamless fabric! I think its very cool. The handle is comfortable to hold. It comes with a case and an additional plastic sleeve ( for storage ?) I had occasion to use it just the other day and it worked very well! I think its a great price too.
