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

This is just a great umbrella. Its big enough to keep you dry even in heavy rain, but compact enough that its not unwieldy. It sheds water easily and dries quickly, and keeps its shape even in heavy wind.

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.

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.

Unlike most umbrellas, when you hit the button it gently opens into a large coverage umbrella. The handle is comfortable, and it comes with a handy slide-on cover that has a sling handle to store it. The segments have some long sections and some smaller scalloped pieces on the outer edge, giving it a unique look. The mechanism works very smoothly when opening and closing it.

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.
