VAN BEEKEN Umbrella Windproof - Wind Resistant Travel Umbrella with Teflon - Light Compact Automatic Umbrella - Portable Folding Umbrella for Men Women

I never write reviews but this umbrella deserves one. It is not functional. It opens with such force that it flies out of your hand. Then the umbrella didn’t even stay open - I had to hold it up so it wouldn’t collapse and it is nearly impossible to close. The last time I opened it, it went flying out of my hand, the shaft and handle detached from the umbrella and the spring fell out so it is now in the trash. DO NOT BUY IT!

Nice but not red. Photos aren’t accurate. Took off a star for this reason- it is a gift and I needed red. It is heavier but sturdier than most travel umbrellas so I was willing to accept the weight for quality. Color is a deal breaker so unfortunately it’s going back.

I look forward to using this umbrella for college. It fits really well into my bag. It comes with a case for it, which gives me peace of mind in case I need to store it for a little time when wet. The single button to open the umbrella is one of the other reasons why I chose to purchase this product. UPDATE: 3/29/2020 This umbrella is great; however, after some uses, it has been starting to break down and become loose with strong winds.

I really like the design, the handle is pretty but not girly so it can be unisec. The button that opens it is tight. Especially that it closes it without having to reset it or the weird metal notch that you have to mess with on the umbrellas that ive used before. I like the hard case so the wood doesnt get scratched from being in the car or wherever. It closes easily and I like how its kinda pleated looking when it closes. It would be cool if it were a little bigger or maybe not so shallow. Cause if its super windy and raining theres not much protection but overall I like it

This umbrella arrived in perfect condition on a perfect day to use it. Windy and rainy! The umbrella held up well in both wind and rain. Several times I had to use both hands to hold it and it very capably withstood the wind and kept me dry. Speaking of dry, when I shook the rain off, almost all the drops fell off, due to the Teflon coating, and was nearly dry to the touch. No dripping on the floor! I am completely satisfied with this well-made umbrella. And as a bonus, it comes with a nice carrying case!

This is a really high quality umbrella. The umbrella comes in a sleeve and semi hard case. The sleeve and case have zippers on them to get the umbrella out. The umbrella shields me from the rain and the buttons on the umbrella are functional and serve their purpose. The umbrella is light, compact, and great for traveling. I would highly recommend this umbrella.

Beautiful packaging, zipper hard case plus nice soft case. Folds tight and is small. Opens big and bold. Seems sturdy. Ill know more on the next really windy day.

The product came nicely packaged in a zipped case and umbrella cover. I really like how lightweight and easy to store it is, and the one touch button thing is pretty awesome. I never liked the older things where youd have to practically force the umbrella back down to compact size. It dried off pretty quickly too, and given I tried this out in a pouring thunderstorm, I was pretty shocked that it looked like I never took it outside not even 5 minutes later. It held up well with the wind and it didnt feel as though I had to fight it to stay where I wanted it to be. It feels like a pretty great umbrella!

6/5/2019 My thoughts on my purchase of the Van Beeken Professional Umbrella The first thing that I noticed right away, was the zippered hard case the umbrella came in. And, much to my surprise, there was another softer case protecting the umbrella. The handle was wrapped in bubble pack to protect it, another plus. With a push of the button, it opened without a hitch. With a push of the button, it closed without a hitch. I have never had an umbrella that opens and closes with the push of a button. Umbrella’s I have owned in the past only closed when you had to fight with it while pushing down to close as I got rained on. So much for protection with that kind of umbrella. It happened to rain tonight with a considerable amount of wind. The umbrella held up beautifully. I highly recommend this umbrella.

The umbrella is light weight but sturdy and durable. Living in Florida, we occasionally get high winds with storms. I was able to test this umbrella during a windy storm and it held up quite well. It didnt bend or flip inside out like other umbrellas do. It also dries quicker than my other umbrellas I used. This will now be the one I keep with me.
