PUREVACY Reverse Umbrella with Sturdy Shaft, 8 Reinforced Ribs, Teflon Coating, Black-Navy Blue Inverted Umbrella Compact, Windproof Upside Down Umbrella for Women, Men, Waterproof Inside Out Umbrella

This umbrella is a bit heavy and feels sturdy like a good umbrella. It is very compact and comes with a bag to put it back into and and it does automatically open. Was kind of hoping when I read automatic it would come back down too and not have to push it back down, but that what it is. The biggest downside so far is it opens big and closes big, so it is very hard to get back into its case for storing. It does open quick and fast though and when you hit the close button it retracts the top a bit but you still have to push it down and it kind of makes a bowl like shape so when you shut it the water is on top so you can just dump it outside of the car instead of the car. It is a good umbrella, and I would suggest it for anyone in an area with wind and rain.

I use this umbrella, not only when its raining, but for shade on my walks as well. Its a nice large size with good coverage and when its windy, I just tilt it against the wind and have no problems. Its great when theres a downpour of rain and you can jump into your car without fussing with collapsing it quickly.

I have an umbrella hanging in my back porch that I use to walk the dog in my back yard when it is raining. Well, I made the mistake of trying to use it during hurricane Ian and well let’s just say I needed to get a new umbrella. This one looked like it would work out fine and it does. It is a good size to keep us both dry (in normal rain), lol. It does come with a sleeve and opens smoothly. It is an inverted design, which is no big deal to me but its ok. The handle is comfortable to hold, and it has a cord so I can hang it for easy access. It does not auto-open though so I am not sure why that is in the description. Seems well made and should work well for my needs.

This review is for the folding umbrella and not the travel umbrella. It does not open or close automatically. It closes by keeping the top/wet part on the inside. There are two good reasons that I can think of for closing like this. One is that if you hold the umbrella up (while it is closed) no water will get on the floor. So, you can carry it like this around for a bit to keep everything around you dry. The second reason is if it touches you when it is closed, it will not get you wet. Very useful when getting in a car from the rain. With a normal umbrella I would get everything around me wet as I bring in the umbrella. As for it being windproof. I’m not so sure if bending back counts as windproof. I am able to swing the open umbrella so that it bends backwards. See the pictures of it bent back. But even after it gets bent back like that, it is still wide enough to keep you dry and all it takes to go back to normal is for you to pull down on one of the stems. Not much effort to bring it back to normal. It feels more solid against the wind than other umbrellas. If not windproof, I would say the most wind resistant umbrellas I’ve ever owned. It seems to be made well. It has two layers of fabric. It opens and closes very easily. I definitely like and find it useful to have it fold like the way it does.
