Seems the manual type of umbrella is near extinction but this auto open works well.

This umbrella was actually bigger and heavier than expected. The windproof functionality actually works really well. The auto-open is pretty easy, but auto-closing it is a little difficult. You need to press hard on the button. It takes quite a bit of force to retract the umbrella after closing too. My wife had trouble with getting it closed and stored. Other than that, its always nice to have an umbrella for the car.

My little red umbrella put up a valiant fight but lost to some very strong LA wind-rain back in February so I was looking to replace it. I saw travel umbrella.... *click*. This umbrella is listed as a portable, travel size unit. Based on what I was looking to replace, I would categorize it as full-size that folds down to a manageable, more easy to store size. It was heavier than I anticipated. I try and pack as light as possible as I always carry on my luggage so every ounce counts. And when I opened it, the canopy was suprisingly large ...definitely large enough to share. This explained the size and weight. Its obvious that I failed to read the description accurately....that one is on me. Regardless, this umbrella is a keeper and will stay in my car. The action/mechanism both opening and closing of the umbrella is very smooth. The canopy has extra fabric reinforcement that combats inversion from strong wind. The worst part of dealing with a wet umbrella is trying to get into the car and minimize getting wet while wrangling to close the umbrella and then dragging it into the car getting everything wet in the process. I really like that the opening mechanism also helps to partially closing the umbrella. It helps to collapse the canopy but doesnt collapse the shaft. That still needs to be done manually. Todays rain wasnt a real test of this umbrellas capabilities, but I think its well designed, excellent construction, and should last a very long time. Once it gets a good workout, Ill update my review if my assessment changes negatively. Until then, I highly recommend this umbrella.

I am so enjoying my rainbow color umbrella and most of all wind proof.

Love this umbrella. Only wish it had a handle strap.

Title says it all. Ordered 2 and received 1.

This arrived just in time for a bad rainstorm. My wife was able to stay dry to and from work. She said it opened and closed great and was easy to store. This was a definite win!

Used it for our rainbow maternity photo shoot . Great umbrella , sturdy and the colors look vibrant.

This fits perfect for my 6th doctor who cosplay. Very sturdy and well made.

Purchased a few weeks ago and already its broken. Would like a refund or a new umbrella.
