Like that it changes color but its not too durable.

Beautiful colors but flimsy

I bought this item and it was just what I ordered. When I took it out of the box it looked like it should but when I opened it I found difficulty in extending the umbrella. It was very hard to get it to lock in the open position.

Super pretty! Used it recently and friends complimented the umbrella! It has really nice colors and did well with the amount of wind

Purchased mostly for the novelty, the concept of an umbrella to increase your visibility when its most likely to be used, dark or overcast rain conditions makes sense and falls under the why did no one think of this sooner? category. As an umbrella, it should work fine. A few points to consider: - This is not your average nylon umbrella. Its thick, almost like vinyl. It seems like 3M Scotchlite, though thats not indicated anywhere. If youve ever seen anything with Scotchlite reflective strips you know how thick it can be. This is that thick, all of it. The material doesnt like to collapse or fold well. Trying to get the velcro strap around it is a stretch. Im expecting the tight folding will cause some breakdown in the reflective properties at the creases. - Its a collapsible umbrella, but has no spring loading. The new style is nifty where the button collapses the top as well as extends the entire package. This doesnt even work like the old style, where the button springs everything out. This is 100% manual opening. The shaft will extend while the umbrella is in the case if you try to grab the handle and pull. You need to push from the closed end of the carry case and get some bulk hanging out that you can grab on to. - The handle is plastic, and threads on to a plastic tip. Expecting this may fail at some point. Overall, youre likely paying for the reflective material and possibly the most bare-bones, chintziest umbrella framework probably out of the East.

Gift for my daughter going to college in Seatle. She loves it.

I admit it. I rely on reviews a little too much, but I never take the time to leave a review. Call it lazy I guess. But this one got me so upset that I had to take time to write this. Who could NOT love an umbrella that changes color?! Being a designer, I just HAD to have something so unique! I was the happiest person with my stupid umbrella! LOOK! LOOK HOW IT CHANGES COLORS! (I was almost on the verge of being just like Gene Kelly the first time out in the rain! Sad..I know.) That happiness went away during the second time I took my amazing umbrella out. Simply walking to my car in a steady rain with zero wind, the entire thing just FLOPPED right on top of me. I tried to close it up to jump in the car, but it wouldnt even close! Looking at it closer in the car, every single metal bar giving the umbrella its shape snapped in half. What?! I can understand if it were windy out, but there was none! It may have been the one I received because by the looks of it, many are happy, but how disappointing! Oh well...back to my boring solid black umbrella....*sigh*...

Super clever product! Bought it as a gift, but I cannot wait to see how it works in person. Was present at the unboxing and the product has a very high quality feel to it.

Nice umbrella, good grip.
