TradMall Travel Umbrella Windproof with 46/56 Inches Large Canopy 10 Reinforced Fiberglass Ribs Ergonomic Handle Auto Open & Close

It has been raining a lot in Southern California lately and decided to invest in a good umbrella that wont break after one use. So far, in about five days worth of rainy and windy weather over the past month or so, the TradMall Travel Umbrella has really lived up to its claims. It has held up against wind, it is large enough to cover me and my backpack easily, and it also is a beautiful color (I got the purple one) that is true to the image. Overall I am very satisfied with this purchase.

I wanted to wait a while before writing a review of this item, because the small umbrellas of this type I usually purchase don’t last long. Ive had this one for well over a year and Im still using it, so thats amazing to me. First I have to say that the seller has excellent customer services and policy. I was provided an umbrellas which was defective (broken straps), where the umbrella was now difficult to open and close. After reaching out to the company their customer services then provided me a new umbrella that has been working great ever since. I purchase this umbrella because I wanted a wider umbrella, since I usually wear a backpack to work and it would get soak from the rain, but this umbrella really helps with that.

UPS literally delivered this just as I was about to go out and run some errands in the rain. Right from the beginning I found this to be exactly as described. Despite the small(ish) size when folded - small enough to easily fit in a medium sized purse, the umbrella was very easy to open and close and, when opened much larger than you would expect from such a small unit. It was a windy and blustery day and I had no problem with it keeping its shape and providing excellent coverage. For the price you cannot beat it! Highly recommend it!

Its a little heavier than you might like but worth it. The size of the umbrella is perfect. So you should expect that when its folded up that it be a bit on the thick dense side. It is an extremely well made umbrella! Im really happy about this purchase. They did my favorite color justice!

So when you push the close button, only the fabric part folds, not the extension. The problem is, once you pop the umbrella, you have to collapse it to the start position completely to open again. I find this extremely inconvenient. When you get into a car, you just want to close the umbrella, chuck it on the floor, right? Now when you are getting out of the car, you have to close the extension with both hands and cant get away from getting soaked! You cant manually open the umbrella by pulling up the metal part that holds the fabric like other normal umbrellas. It doesnt lock! Kind of crazy they designed it this way.

I am happy with my purchase of the Tradmall travel umbrella. It is very sturdy as well as lightweight. The ergonomic handle is comfortable and the umbrella is very easy to open. My problem has always been closing these types of automatic umbrellas. The force & struggle to which you have to use is often ridiculous. This one is not too bad, a little hard to clasp once closed but definetly better then most other brands I have tried.

Bought this when it rained one time and I dont have umbrella and then did not rain until now - a few days ago - so I used it, and works great. I like how easy it is to open up umbrella, but the closing part is a bit of a work.

I bought this umbrella based on the reviews. Its a great umbrella with a unique mechanism. I would have given it 5 stars, but the only thing thats working against it is that it can be difficult to pull all the way back down to the locked positions once retracted. I feel like this will ease over time. It really isnt that big of a deal. The only time I could see it potentially being an issue is when youre trying to get in your car quickly during a downpour. Other than that its a great umbrella. Note: the Customer Service is SPECTACULAR. Tracy was amazing with my questions and concerns. Seriously, you cant put a price-tag on that kind of service. Buy THIS umbrella and stay dry!

It’s odd that I would be writing about an umbrella but having lived in the UK for years and going through dozens of umbrellas in my time, I feel like I can appreciate the finer points of a familiar device. What I love the most about this new compact umbrella are three features: firstly it is stronger than most and stands up to stronger wind since it has more ribs, secondly the handle is more ergonomic than most and easy to hold but the game changer is the way it closes! You push the button to open it as normal but you also push the button (hard) to close it too! No more pinched fingers!

I like the compact size and when open, at a push if a button, has good coverage. Simple to close, press the button. Fits in my purse and also in my car compartment, for storage.
