> 3 dayMy friend goes to a lot of car shows and needed an umbrella that would shield her from from our grueling sun here in Southern Nevada! We also get a lot of wind and we get rain during the monsoon season! This umbrella looks & feels like it will do the job nicely! She absolutely loved the sunflower! To me I wish that it came in a larger size! I debated on getting a different kind in at least a 52 inch! But The Sun Flower Won me over for her! Good Product so far!

> 3 dayAdorable! I bought them to make Brella-Baskets for my kids for Easter... My youngest daughter got this one for Easter and she really liked it. She hasnt got to use it yet but it seems like a decent umbrella. Very colorful. Easy to open and close. I absolutely love that it comes with a carrying thing. Only thing I dont really like is that the Velcro strap is close to the tip of the umbtrlla, I think it would be great if it had a thinner Velcro strap in the middle as well... The umbrellas are alil bigger than I thought so the carrying thing is great for my kids.

> 3 dayPurchased the leopard print because frankly I am sick and tired of reaching for an umbrella and every single one is broken!!! I used this for the first time the other day and it is durable and I love they way it stands upright for all the water to drip off. Purchased another one in a different pattern as a Christmas gift. Price is fine, item is sturdy.

Greater than one weekFirst off, this is a pretty umbrella, and I do like the inverted feature. For the most part, it works fine. However, there is a learning curve. When you push the button that opens it, you have to release that button almost instantly or you will push the umbrella past the opening point. You may think, Well, duh, obviously. But, the problem is that the way the button is situated, you use your thumb to push the button and then you push up. Its almost a natural positioning of the thumb, so you have to make a mental decision to lift your thumb off of the button when you slide up. If you dont lift your thumb, then the catching mechanism will not engage and the umbrella will start to fold back down. And, on one occasion, I couldnt even get it to close. Talk about embarrassing! The C handle? Nice concept, but it doesnt actually work that well. As one reviewer mentioned, you have to balance it on your shoulder or it will tilt and fall. So, basically, you still need one hand to manage the umbrella. Maybe with more practice, this feature will work better. Oh, and when you come in out of the rain and close it? Yes, it does, for the most part, keep water from falling onto the floor....UNLESS, you decide to hold the umbrella on your arm by the C handle. Then, yes, you guessed it... the water will then drip everywhere because the inverted part is now hanging upside down. So dont hold it by the C handle. Good idea, except its almost a natural inclination to want to slip it onto your arm. The coverage isnt very broad and I found myself getting rained on too much. It just simply doesnt offer enough protection... at least not for the price and the supposed benefits. It did prevent most of the rain from getting in my car, but while walking to or from my destination, I did get a little wet. Im getting the hang of releasing the button when opening, and I may master the C handle, but the one thing that would improve this umbrella for me would be broader coverage. Im tempted to pull out my bigger umbrella, but I like the inverted feature, as well as the pretty design on this one. Oh, and because I paid as much as I did I will continue to use this one. Summary: Pros: * Pretty designs. * Does help to prevent most rain from entering vehicle. * C handle is convenient to hang umbrella on arm. Cons: * Can be tricky to get it to lock into open position. * C handle doesnt necessarily allow hands free use. * Can get stuck while closing. * Not enough coverage to completely protect from rain. Overall, I dont regret buying this umbrella, but Im not sure if Id buy another one if this one quits working.

> 3 dayThe umbrella is sturdy but it is too long to be practical. Much too big to carry conveniently

> 3 dayWent to college without an umbrella… BIG MISTAKE! I got this in the mail days before a big rain storm was supposed to hit my college town, where three or four rainy days were expected. This saved me. I love how big it is and how easy it is to open. Whoever came up with this design is incredibly clever. I wish it was one of those umbrellas that folds up into a small enough umbrella for easier fit in my backpacks water bottle holes, but the grip underneath the stick that holds it up allows for easy clipping on my backpack straps and I just walk with it by my side. I love the cheetah print on mine!
