RUMBRELLA Mini Umbrella small UV Umbrella fast dry and Ultra Lightweight

This is a great little umbrella. I have several larger, automatic style umbrellas made by Umbrella and Ive been very pleased with the quality of the fabric as well as the opening/closing mechanism. I thought this one would be perfect for my daughter to keep in her backpack. We dont get much rain here (Southern California) and unfortunately even less in recent years, but we are coming up on the season rain is possible and it is pretty easy to be caught without an umbrella. This is small and very light, so it wont add too much weight and she will always have it handy if it happens to be needed... I ordered this umbrella in the royal blue and it is a very pretty, deep shade. It has a snug royal blue sheath with a drawstring closure and is tucked inside of a just slightly larger, black zipper bag. This bag not only holds the umbrella, it also unfolds into a larger shopping bag if needed (a very handy feature) plus it has an additional compartment on the outside (closed by an L-shaped zipper). I think this is a very well thought-out design. The umbrella opens to a surprisingly large diameter, plenty of protection for one person. It isnt an automatic open, so first the shaft needs to be manually extended until the runner engages. Once open, it feels very sturdy and has 6 supporting ribs to help prevent it from collapsing in the wind. When folded up, the tips of the ribs are enclosed by the round handle. There is a strap with a velcro attachment to secure it closed before inserting it into the sheath. The fabric feels durable and is the fast-dry type, so no hassles dealing with a dripping wet umbrella. It opens and closes easily although it does take a couple of minutes to wrap it up and get it back into the sheath, after using. Ive had inexpensive umbrellas that just dont hold up, and I think the price is very reasonable for this very well made umbrella that should last for years.

The first time I used it in a sunny day, the wind (which was nothing strong) blew it inside out. The umbrella is extremely weak and does not work for any purpose and very expensive. I do not have the original packing box of the umbrella to be able to return it and I need a refund to buy a good one.

I love this guy, I wanted something easy to find, something that wouldnt take up room, something I could put in my bag and take out when needed to be mobile and stay dry this fits perfectly on the side pocket of my bag and even comes with a case in case its wet you dont have to worry about putting it back in your bag wet, really well thought out. Highly Recommended.

Great for traveling.

I use my umbrella at my job as your guide. Needed something small to carry in satchel. This one is and has worked in the situations it was needed. Cannot say how it would work with heavy usage.

like the color, compact, wont stand up to windy rain.

Ok, I am superstitious. I would NOT test this out in the house, I went into the garage. For an adult, this works fine as all adults should know how to operate this type of umbrella. This is probably not the best for kids though as they may not be able to figure it out unless you show them and they may get confused/forget. It works fine, comes in a case and also a zippered bag too. I have the other version for my son with the push to open button and this one I am keeping for myself. These are extremely light weight and can be kept anywhere because of its small footprint. I cant say that it has kept me dry just yet, but I feel better knowing it is always available in the car door slot should I need it...

As expected. Great to stuff in backpack.

Havent used it uet but claims one shake after coming out of the rain and the umbrella will be dry. Taking on a European vacation.

I like the small amount of space its taking up in my car. Very convenient, opens and folds easily. Have not had rain yet to use it in but Im totally prepared!
