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 Umbrella is pretty strong and a great size- Having kids and sports- this is essential. Typically, I would say 5 stars but I was a little taken aback at the picture vs the actual product- I ordered the Navy- and it looks like its a nice two-tone black top with navy inside- when I received the umbrella- its all Navy- and the rods are orange- Again its not a deal breaker and I like the rods in orange- but think maybe they should work on the product pictures to give an accurate idea of what it looks like. Updated: After my post, Upper Echelon reached out and were nothing short of amazing- they asked a couple questions about my order and fixed it right away- The umbrella is great but the service was even better!

While I cant attest to the durability of this umbrella (Ive only used it for two, yucky rainy days so far), I can tell that it is much sturdier than the one I had previously (I wont mention the other companys name). The reason I got this new umbrella is that my old ones fabric ripped, it wouldnt stay open (the catch mechanism when it was in the open position wouldnt engage consistently), and it began to flop on one side as if the stays were broken or warped or just weak, after using it for about a year. This Repel umbrella feels much stronger and Im hoping it holds up. Plus, with the lifetime warranty, how can you go wrong!

I bought this umbrella before and it was much wider than this one.

I purchased this several months ago. It has held up nicely to wind and rain walking around Uptown Charlotte. Its also gives spacious cover.

So we get a lot of wind, way too much rain, and of course no. Does Sunbrella does not go down low enough on the side to keep the rain out of your face when the wind is blowing at a side angle. Additionally it wasnt as sturdy as it should have been for nearly $40. I went to Walmart and bought a colorful rainbow umbrella medium size that is very well made and comes down more to protect you from the blowing rain. I would just go to Walmart if I were you!

I like the design of the umbrella, but I was expecting a one-push open and a slightly larger circumference. Other than that the inside is beautiful and feels sturdy. Ive only had to use it once since purchased

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.

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!

This is a light weight reverse umbrella. Only thing bothers me is that I have to click the button a couple times to keep it open. Other than that I like this umbrella.

Great quality and very good looking
