Parquet Rainbow Automatic Open Golf Umbrella Windproof Tested, Extra-Strong

Perfect

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.

Title says it all. Ordered 2 and received 1.

The important feature that was not mention in description of umbrella is that opens from a touch of button to release and deploy your umbrella shelter. I like the grip on the handle also.

I keep it in my car at all times and I’ve used it a few times already. I love how big it is— I can cover myself and my 2 kids from the rain with this umbrella and it provides a nice circumference. The auto button is great. Folding it in takes slightly longer but not an issue. Most umbrellas like this have the same issue. Came in a little pouch for storing. Great product and I’d highly recommend.

Worked great for about a week. Colors were bright, just as described. Popped open easily and quickly with a touch of a button. However, the first heavy (Florida) rain caused one of the stretcher/rib tips to break and splinter. The stitches underneath also broke. (Tried to reattach to no avail)

I really like this umbrella. I use it often for kindergarten dismissal. Keeps me and a student dry. Had been sturdy so far!

I ready enjoy the color, the height of the umbrella and the design that makes the umbrella stay in place. I use it on a rainy day.

The umbrella works as expected. It’s larger than I thought it would be, but that’s good for me. I haven’t had the chance to test it against the wind but it works well in heavy rain.

Was a rainy day and used this right away when I got it. Its a very well made, sturdy umbrella, not like the flimsy ones people sell on street corners here in NYC. This one has two layers of overlapping fabric and sturdy spines that help protect the umbrella from turning inside out in the wind. Its a bit heavier than the more flimsy umbrellas, but worth it for the extra coverage (the canopy affords a bit more coverage than most portable umbrellas) and the fact that it feels sturdy and stable in your hands. Probably the best portable umbrella Ive ever owned.
