XIXVON Umbrella Pro | UPF 50+ 99% UV Protection, Reflective Safety Strip, Sturdy Windproof, Travel Portable, Automatic | Reverse Folding Umbrella

I thought this would be slightly larger due to having 10 ribs, but overall Im satisfied. Its very flexible, which allows it to better survive wind, and more ribs is better there, of course, but I have found that it will often not properly open-- due to the flexible rib ends, they will sometimes open pointing up. I do like the auto-close feature; although it wont fully collapse the umbrella, it will collapse it enough to get it into your car. Its also reverse-folding, which seems like a gimmick until you experience it. I will probably never buy another umbrella without both of those. That said, Im not sure I like *this* umbrella enough to choose it again over another choice, so its not a 5-star rating from me.

Due to the recent heavy rainstorms in our area, this auto reverse folding umbrella is a welcome addition to our umbrella collection. Good features: Worked well during our recent heavy downpours, especially from motor vehicle to destination building and vice versa. Easy, one button operation: press once to snap open and press again to collapse the umbrella, then compress the telescoping shaft. Big ~41 diameter when fully opened and ~13 when fully collapsed, compressed, and folded. Relatively lightweight. Good quality materials and workmanship. Reflective stripe along the perimeter of the umbrella for nighttime safety. Most folks dont know that umbrellas may be used to shield user from the sun too. Gimmicky reverse folding mechanism keeps raindrops on the inside of the umbrella when folded. Includes stout heavy nylon zippered carrying pouch. My go-to umbrella at this time. Concerns: Even with the wet surfaces on the inside of the umbrella, raindrops can still drip out of the top and openings. I simply place it in a passenger footwell that has a rubber floormat or fully fold it and dry it at home/destination fully opened. Susceptible to theft when traveling and placed in umbrella stands outside stores/shops/restaurants at certain foreign countries. Never store a wet umbrella fully folded thatll cause mildew damage. Even at 50% off, the $46 price (Jan. 2023) is a bit high.

The umbrella is pretty sturdy. I like the fact that is easy to open and close. Beautiful designed.

This umbrella is awesome!! I love the feel of it and you can tell it is a good quality umbrella, made very well. I also the the case, it has a zipper that makes it so much easier to put the umbrella bag in the vase!

This is a high quality umbrella. Fast open and made with tougher materials then your regular umbrella. I see this lasting awhile. Comes with a nice storage pouch with a zipper to slide into effortlessly. I highly recommend this umbrella.

This is the first top notch umbrella I have owned. It springs open quickly, so dont point it at someone when opening. I just took the open umbrella and put the top down on the floor and pushed down on it and it closed and locked. So many times, I have tried to close other umbrellas and they keep popping open, this one catches and locks. The tab that you wrap around the umbrella looks a little weak, so dont pull on it hard, it is big enough to close up the umbrella to fit into bag. It is dark underneath, which I like, keeps glare down. I will use it in the summer when Im outdoors in the hot sun, attach to my chair, as we do a lot of daytime/summer activities. Also, I use an umbrella on the dining table over my laptop to decrease the glare, and this works great. It has a great shaped dome and the handle is long enough. THe switch to open is easy to use, and the handle is comfortable.

The sturdiest umbrella you ever did find! Great quality product.

Very good umbrella, I liked the quality of the material and the cover comes with it. The idea that it closes outside to not wet around is really creative. I just have an issue with the price, definitely its over priced and I dont understand the very big difference in price betweek different colors even they exactly the same! If you dont have a problem spending a lot of money in umbrella then go with this one.

I had to return the product because it would not open. The shaft fully extended and wouldn’t collapse. Hopefully the replacement will operate correctly?

Everyone needs a quality umbrella. As I live in South Florida, when it does rain, at times, it really rains! When this happens, I need to be sure that I have an umbrella that will keep me dry, and will not get blown inside out, as a few of my previous umbrellas have done. There seems to be a lot of thought, and technology, put into this XIXVON umbrella. To start, naturally, it is waterproof. It folds in reverse, has an ergonomic handle, a reflective safety strip, and UV protection. One button automatically opens and closes it. This umbrella consists of a lightweight metal that wont rust. It has 10 reinforced ribs, which are supposed to make it windproof. I dont know about that claim, and hope I never find out that its not true. So far, though I havent been in any strong winds, the umbrella has worked as advertised. Hopefully, this will continue to be the case. Its kind of stylish, as well.
