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

The catch to hold the umbrella up as a cover from the rain does not always engage on the first try which is somewhat of an aggravation. I do like the inside decoration and the fact that the rain is captured inside the layers when it is closed.

Broke on my first use. I do like the idea of it reversing, it feels light, and the handle is comfortable. But it also felt cheap and wobbly when moving around. (Walking) I used it on a day with some showers and the handle broke free from the shaft. My guess is the glue didn’t set properly when attached. I was originally going to replace it when I realized it is a bit small for my needs. It did stop rain but it only covered my head and the arm holding it. This would work as a backup umbrella to keep in the car, but I’ll be returning this and moving up to a stick or golf umbrella.

Material is durable and the way it closes is a great idea. I’m buying one for my daughter and myself, too.

This product worked good the first three times I used it. Then it broke

My mom loves the umbrella

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

My new office has borrow umbrellas that you can borrow if its rainy with an honor system to bring them back the next day. I normally would never use one but it was POURING so I used one and it was a reverse umbrella. I HAD to have one of my own after that!!!! I got this one because I thought the deign was cool and it had solid reviews. It does not disappoint. It holds water so great, you wont shake water all over the place in your car or in your shopping cart or office. Its easy to use and easy to fold up. I wont ever use a regular umbrella again! Get one!!!

Slight snag but customer service was swift

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.

I bought 10 of these for myself and as holiday gifts for my family, and they were a hit! The umbrellas are sturdy, easy to use, and those with designs are pretty (the pictures on the Amazon site show them well). It is a pleasure not to have to fight with the umbrella when getting in and out of the car or through doors, and especially nice that you dont get wet when you do it. I have only 2 minor negative observations - when it stands on its own after using it, it drips water on the floor, and it is a little more bulky than a standard umbrella. Despite this, I think these are great umbrellas and a great invention!
