Repel Umbrella The Original Portable Travel Umbrella - Umbrellas for Rain Windproof, Strong Compact Umbrella for Wind and Rain, Perfect Car Umbrella, Backpack, and On-the-Go

great job

I bought this umbrella for its good reviews, durability, and the double canopy feature. Specifically, I bought the umbrella with the night sky star designs. However, this additional design eliminates the double canopy feature. The umbrella is good, and it has good durability as advertised. However, if you want the double canopy, I strongly don’t recommend the night sky design. I’m irritated with getting an umbrella without the feature I wanted most from this product. Overall, I give this product 3 stars for false advertising, but the umbrella is still functional and should last for a decent amount of time.

We just came through 3 weeks of major rain in Southern California and the wind got pretty bad at times too. Granted this umbrella is a little bit smallish for a full-grown guy but its a great umbrella to keep in your car just in case you get caught in rain. The wind was so strong that twice it turned my umbrella inside out and the umbrellas spring system kept it from being broken into pieces and all had to do was give it a little flick and it went right back to normal.

Most umbrellas Ive had, have to fold, unfold manually. This one, to open, just push button. To close, best to push end of umbrella into wall to help. It feels solid, well made, have used it several times in heavy wind and rain. Looks smartly designed. I was looking for a quality umbrella that folds up small. This folds to maybe 8 to 9 inches long. I wanted something that could fit easily in a pocket. This is not it. My fault, tho, shouldve confirmed folded size b4 buying. If you want something thatll fit into a small bag or purse, or Uber deep pockets, this will work.

A bit heavier than my other cheaper ones but it did invert in our IN winds. Good product

Awesome product and very well made!

Strong, light and nice umbrella

Before I made this purchase, I checked a pretty decent number of reviews and comparisons. Granted, Ive had umbrellas in the past, but Id never made an informed purchase when selecting one for myself. Generally, I just grabbed whatever was on sale at my local retailer and happened to be an acceptable color. I had accepted as fact that compact travel umbrellas would always have tiny, flimsy canopy coverage that required me to huddle beneath them while my arms and anything I was carrying got soaked and that the first noteworthy gust of wind would render them useless, if not destroy them. After my last umbrella experienced a catastrophic failure from a relatively normal breeze, I decided that there has to be a better product and that I was going to find it. My requirements were that it had to be compact enough to fit into my glove compartment, feature auto-open/close, and open with a large enough canopy for me to walk comfortably and remain dry with something in my arms. My search led me to the Repel Easy Touch, which had come out at or near the top of many comparison tests and had an endless list of stellar reviews. I can honestly say that the people were not wrong. I absolutely love this little umbrella. At 11.5 when compacted, it is amongst the smaller end of its class and easily fits in my glove compartment. However, it pops out to a generous 42 canopy that offers great coverage for all but the largest of individuals. Not only does it do these things, but it has a look and feel that imparts obvious quality and attention to design. Press that little button and the canopy deploys with very authoritative speed and power that is sure to impress the user, as well as any nearby witnesses. The main shaft appears to be thicker and more substantial than most. The 9 sturdy ribs hold the canopy quite taut and do incredibly well on windy days for a lightweight single-canopy design (there are heavier and larger dual-canopy umbrellas that are stronger, but they dont meet my needs here). And of course, it dries instantly when youre out of the rain, with the auto-close working every bit as well as the auto-open. The bottom line is that I love this umbrella and am extremely pleased that I decided to spend a little bit more to get a better value. The follow-up email from the company after purchase and the fact that they back their product with a lifetime warranty further evidence the quality of the product and sweeten the purchase experience. So if you need or want a compact travel umbrella, I highly recommend this product. It is definitely worth the few extra dollars.

You need 3 of then, one in the car, one in the house and one tied to your body. You bever know when is going tobrain

These umbrellas are well priced, sturdy, and everything you could want from an umbrella, but could not be close with one hand. I also struggle to open it with one hand. If one had two freehand hands sure, but I’m always busy with full hands when I need to dash thru the rain. Even Gene Kelly had a throw down his umbrella to dance in the rain.; too cumbersome. Anyone recovering from a wrist injury, or any arthritis which struggle with these umbrellas.
