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

Purchased as a Christmas give and the recipient loved it. Seems to be very well made.

Have not had the opportunity to use the umbrella on a super windy day yet to test out the durability of this products design of being made to handle winds without breaking. It is however quite a decent size for an umbrella and I do love the galaxy print on the inside.

I love the design of this umbrella. Getting out of the car or walking inside isnt a pain anymore. It closes in reverse, so its fast and simple. The size is on the larger side than a standard travel one. I normally have my purse on me and it always gets wet, not with this one. Definitely recommend for the price, the quality, and most importantly, the ease of it.

The grip is comfortable, the material of the canopy works as expected. What didnt was the opening mechanism. After the 1st successful use, as in you push the button and help it up a bit and it opens, this stopped working. Now I push and hold the button, push the canopy all the way to the open position, but the ribs of the canopy, some extend and form as they should while the others dont, so you have to sort that out and force them into their final position by hand, then you get to use it. At least closing works fine. I thought this was the last umbrella I needed to buy, but I still have to look again.

In theory it’s a great design, in practicality it sucks. You have to put the underside out in the rain when you open it, when just makes the underside drip on you. That’s if it stays open - half the time it takes 10x to make it stick. Closing it is a nightmare. You either have to do it out in the rain and get when that way or you’ll try to close it when getting into your car and it literally gets your entire car wet. And just like any normal umbrella, it just drips and leaves a puddle. Do yourself a favor and get a normal umbrella.

Right out of the box and the handle is peeling. Pretty disappointing. Other than that seems okay construction.

The product is fine as far as sturdiness and usability but I ordered a red and black reversible umbrella for a specific reason and its safe to say this is not red. Its maroon. So if that is important to you, I can tell you unless I got an oddball umbrella the red is not red and in the picture it clearly looks red. I even came back to look to see if I had ordered the correct one and I did. The one I received in this maroon color isnt even an option... Hey, maybe technically its burgundy but it sure is NOT red!

The Repel umbrella has top ratings. It is very beautiful. This umbrella is very strong even in gusty wind. It is very durable and made with high quality materials. It is easy to operate as well. I highly recommend this umbrella.

Been looking for a good, portable umbrella. Ive tried a few and was skeptical about this umbrella since it opens the opposite way than most, but I actually found that this has helped with getting out of and into the car when its raining, and also prevents a lot of water from dripping off of the umbrella when I close it and set it in my backseat after Ive gotten into my car. The size is also a pretty good width for a portable umbrella. Its obviously not going to hold up to the size of a golf umbrella, but Id say its wider than most portable umbrellas Ive bought. So far, its been great but well see how it holds up over time.

I ordered the wrong item. I have no need for a large umbrella. I wanted a travel umbrella. The quality looks good, just not what
