The Original Repel Reverse Umbrella - Windproof Inverted Umbrella w/ 8 Fiberglass Reinforced Ribs - Easy Upside Down Open And Close - Large Umbrella Protects Against Rain, Wind, Snow and Sleet

big than I think. OK to use.

I bought this umbrella for obvious reasons - to get in and out of my car without getting drenched. However, when you push the runner to the top where the umbrella fully expands and the runner should get locked, my umbrella forgets its primary purpose. It has decided to make me step out in the rain, struggle to get it locked, and get wet in the meanwhile. Quite likely that they sent me a faulty piece. The design does look quite lovely. Its a pity that mechanical quality is shoddy. I do not recommend it.

Beautiful color and design. Works great when going into doorway or car door. No more dribbles of rain falling on me. Keep it in my car. Not compact to carry in bag but useful.

I purchased this umbrella in late Spring. It arrived defective so I contacted the company. A replacement arrived, almost immediately. The new umbrella appeared to be okay- but I do not write reviews until I actually use a product. First I was away for 2 months ( in a location that doesn’t get summer rain! ) I returned home and started carrying the umbrella every time they forecast rain.— it never rained! But, I comfortably carried it, on my shoulder using the included case! Eventually I had some rain- but the minimal drizzles didn’t meet my review criteria! Today, it finally rained! It poured! I was able to use my umbrella. I love it! I love how it closes and I have no trouble opening it! I loved that I wasn’t getting drenched entering the car. One of the reasons I chose this umbrella was that it’s handle is shorter than similar umbrellas from other companies. I feel I made the right selection and I’m sending a link so a friend can purchase it too.

My son used the umbrella easily for about a year and then the red plastic tip that holds the fabric onto the umbrella pole broke off, and the fabric around the tip started to fray. Other than that, it was a pretty good product.

Brilliant idea. Catchy color combination.

The little metal posts stick out past the end of the umbrella and even the slightest amount of bumping bends the ends that hold the fabric of the outer layer of the umbrella. Update: Ill update it to 4 star. I contacted support and they immediately sent out a replacement. Ill just have to be extra careful with putting it down in the car so it doesnt snag on the carpet.

If you arent sure about purchasing this umbrella, dont think twice! I recently moved to Rexburg for college, and I can say that it rains often and the wind blows hard, but it isnt an issue with this umbrella and I couldnt be more happy about the quality! Its wind resistant, I love the colors, and its easy to use. The weekend before my birthday I bought myself the red one, and my mom bought me the purple flower patterned one- I was sad at first but it really isnt a problem- I decided to hold onto both of them and keep one at home as a backup I loved this umbrella so much. Dont think twice, this umbrella is amazing and it wont let you down!

I was given an inverted umbrella, and I really like it. It works particularly well when I’m getting into a vehicle and it’s raining. You can keep the umbrella over you until after you get in, and then partially close the door, and “draw” the handle towards you to fold it. I bought these for gifts.

for every day use.
