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.

This umbrella is so fun!! Great quality! Different from others and a nice birthday or Christmas gift! Go for it!!

Saw one of these in public and instantly wanted one. About the same price as other umbrellas but do so much more! I would recommend one to anyone, young and old!

Works well, really pretty. Actually changes color in the rain. A little expensive for an umbrella- but Ive had it for a year and it hasnt broken. Fun gift idea.

Why arent ALL umbrellas reflective for walking on dark rainy nights? A much better idea than a black umbrella! Minus one star because it is not a the best made/strongest construction.

I bought this as a gift for my mom and she LOVED it. She immediately went to the sink to watch it change colors under the water and she tells me every time she uses it.

My best friend absolutely loved this and it is so fun the way that it changes colors! If you have a quirky friend and they need a gift...buy this!

Bought this at an art gallery recently because being an artist and loving vibrant colors, I couldnt pass it up. Now I wish I did, and not just because it was overpriced, but it broke on the first use. One metal arm mysteriously cracked. I tried to adjust the arm and bend it back into shape, but that only caused the entire arm to snap in half. I figured Alright...I guess I can deal with just one arm being broken. Tried to use it again today...and another arm didnt open properly and bent itself as well. So the brand name fits this well. It really does SUCK.

I love it! Delivers as promised, get many compliments. Have already directed several people to Amazon for purchase. I expect 3 years of service in the face of mild winter storms of San Francisco. :)
