> 24 hourThis is a fantastic small umbrella! I used it in high wind and pouring rain with no issues. I really like to auto open and auto close feature! A push of the button fully opens it and the same button closes it to a size perfect to shake off the water and push it all the way closed.

> 24 hourI havent had a chance to use this in the rain yet, but I have been able to inspect it and open and close it several times and can confirm that the build quality appears to be very solid. It has a nice heft to it and looks nice as well. There is also a wind channel that I expect will work well. I took one star off as I think the pictures are misleading making the umbrella look much bigger than it actually is. The dimensions are accurate based on the description, but at the time of this review there is one picture where one person is using it and it appears much bigger than real life and more egregiously, there is a picture that shows two adults using it with plenty of coverage, but this umbrella is not nearly big enough for two. In fact, the description even says in the About This Item section: ☔FULL SIZE LARGE COVERAGE UMBRELLA FOR ONE PERSON Overall a solid umbrella, but just make sure that you understand its actual size.

> 24 hourIf the umbrella cover is off and the velcro strap is loose, then a simple press of the button on the handle is a one handed way to open the umbrella fully. The next push of the button callapses the canopy. The shaft still needs to be compressed for the umbrella to be ready for the next deployment. Compressing the umbrella can be done with one hand if there is something solid to press against. Otherwise I have to use two hands to compress the umbrella. I hope I never accidentally press the button while I am using the umbrella in the rain, since it will be hard to open the umbrella back up again, especially if I am carrying something else. I like the vents that allow some wind to pass through without inverting the umbrella. The canopy is good size (42) and yet the umbrella is rather small (12 including handle) when folded. The umbrella is also good for sheilding a person from the sun. The umbrellas 90% UV protection is good for both rainy and sunny days as UV can get through clouds.

> 24 hourPerfect size to store in the car side pocket, under seat, or larger handbag. Has handle strap & separate cover. Nicely designed deployment mechanism that is a easy push button spring loaded and fast. Very convenient smaller size means less likely to get wrecked in windy weather plus you can always have one nearby for unexpected rain since it fits almost anywhere. Works fine and appears sturdy enough to last but not my primary umbrella as I prefer a larger canopy size since Im over 6.

> 24 hourI was looking for an umbrella to keep in the car in case it rains… This is a very nice large umbrella. The quality is great and doesn’t feel cheaply made. With one push of a button, the umbrella retracts and it folds back up easily.

> 24 hourI got the umbrella very quickly. The red is as nice and bright as in the picture. When I pushed the button, I was startled at how fast and forcefully the umbrella shot open. Many of my past umbrellas opened similarly so this is not new to me, but wow, this one opens fast and forcefully so be sure no one is close. It also snapped shut fast and forcefully when I pushed the button, you then have to push it down towards the hand to completely close. The canopy is bigger than my other compacts, but not big enough to share unless the rain is quite light. I do think it will give my backpack more coverage.

> 24 hourIts the monsoon season here in the desert southwest. Thats the few weeks a year in which we need umbrellas - and boy do we need them. (Thanks, Amazon, for getting it to me quickly). This umbrella has worked perfectly. Press the button and it pops open. Pull it shut and it locks closed. At that point it is easy to wrap that little tab thing around it before stowing the entire thing away as a nice tight bundle. No drama. Other than it keeping me dry and not being a hassle to use, whats to say? It does everything I want and hasnt broken after a few weeks of near daily use. It has survived some decent wind gusts that almost tore it from my hand. I love the one handed opening operation. The build quality and materials all seem fine. I dont know what those vents are for. No water comes in through them.
