Amazon Customer –
This umbrella is such great quality, but than what I expected for the price. The wooden handle also looks nice and opens/closes really sturdily. Not too big— can pack in a luggage bag for trips. Also, a nice bonus is that the cover that it comes with is also nice. I usually throw away these umbrella covers, but this one even has a zipper and helps secure the umbrella/helps make it compact.
HoolioCZ –
This umbrella is beautifully made and I bought it as a recommendation from a friend who has the same one. However, once I took the umbrella out of the package and held it by the little leather strap/handle, the ring connecting it to the umbrella snapped off and it fell to the floor and scratched the handle. Customer service was great though and addressed my concerns.
Homespun –
This is the nicest umbrella I’ve owned. Very sturdy, and with good coverage. It opens and closes nicely. I have yet to use it in the rain, but I have no doubts that it will perform beautifully.
Ellee Clarke-Malaykhan –
I received my umbrella broken for starters. One of the veins was just hanging when I opened the umbrella which affected its functionality. I did however think the umbrella was much stronger in terms of durability but in the wind it felt like the umbrella was going to invert. The stick of the umbrella seems fairly sturdy. The handle has a comfortable fit in the hand. I find myself having to press the center of the button with enough force for the umbrella to actually open and close. Lastly, it takes alot of my strength to get the stick of the umbrella shortened.
Skaliwag –
When first received about four months ago, I liked it though it was heavy. I chalked the weight up to sturdy build. The spring loading seemed high too, but again, I chaulked it up to solid build. Then about two months in, I noticed that when the spring sprang to open, the handle started to loosen. The screw on the handle does not tighten it to the rest of the umbrella — I tried. Then a few weeks ago, when I pressed the button to open, it came loose pinching my finger in the process and drawing blood. No big deal, but the umbrella could not be fixed.With that said, the sellers reached out to correct things immediatly and I recived a replacement right away. Time will tell, but the spring loading seems more compliant so hopefully the first one was a now-off issue.
Darkin –
I bought this umbrella back on 2019 and its still going STRONG!Wind, rain, Hail, sleet- nothing breaks it!
SamE –
My wife and I have now been carrying one of the UV-protector ones (each) around the world for the last 3+ years. We purchased these to replace cheap ($5) light umbrellas that we had purchased in Soul, South Korea! The additional weight is well worth the toughness and capability.As soon as any friend of ours sees us use it, they ask where did we get it and then go ahead and order one? We have used them in very strong wind, such that the umbrella actually flipped! However, I was able to push it back the right-way w/o any damage.The only time that one broke was when we dropped it dead-center on its head (closed) on concrete. The little part on top broke and the impact also damaged the internal mechanism, such that my wife had a tough time using it (I could manage). The fault was ours. I’d love it if they’d replace the top piece w/ a rubber so that it can absorb such user errors!The trouble wasn’t wort keeping it so, I replaced it as soon as we got back to the US. I’d get another one once we break another one (due to our abuse)!Buy one!
SJG –
Bought 2, then 2 more. Nice auto up/down umbrella with wind vents. Comparable too but better than the Totes brand umbrellas I’ve had previously.
Kate | Babaganosh –
Arrived with one of the prongs not on the fabric. I didn’t want to be wasteful and ship it back, so I sewed it together by hand. The umbrella is sturdy, not 100% windproof (it does flip with very strong wind) but as sturdy as other good umbrellas I’ve had. If the hand stitching doesn’t hold up and that same prong gets loose again, I’ll contact the company for a replacement or refund.
Hallbourne –
This fashionable umbrella is larger than other collapsible windresistant umbrellas. The quick and easy open is another plus. With the affordable price on top of these additional qualities, I do not see a comparable alternative choice at the moment. I am very happy with this product. I bought two.
C. Komek –
I purchased one couple of years ago, loved it and lost it. Purchased a replacement, then got one for the wife. Well made, durable in windy weather, large enough for two. Opens and closes with push of one button. You won’t be disappointed.
Chris –
I have bought this umbrella after someone stole my other ones. I also bought two for gifts. Open and closes automatically. Love this umbrella
Shirley Peterman –
I love the quality of this umbrella for the price.
Allan B. –
Ease of use and sturdy construction
Amazon Customer –
My husband loses all his umbrellas so I’m constantly having to replace. For the first time he actually said “I really like my new umbrella, I hope I don’t lose it! THAT says it all!
Lawrence J. Viviano –
This is a solid umbrella. Let me start with the GOOD: it is large, not golf umbrella large, but close. It’s the largest retractable umbrella ive seen. i walked my dog with it and we both stayed dry. It seems well-made. The wooden handle is nice and has notches for your fingers, though, it’s not terribly comfortable in your hand after a long walk – it’s like trying to hold a a round ball in your hand, and would be better if it was a bit thinner. The windproof canopy helps though i havent used it yet on a terribly windy day. The auto open/close works well, and i havent encountered any of the issues ive seen reported here. The NOT SO GOOD: it’s relatively bouncy, meaning it almost seems that it doesnt completely lock into place when open…it doesnt collapse accidentally or anything it’s just a strange sensation. When you close the umbrella it collapses fine, but you have to push pretty hard against the spring to get it to lock into place fully closed. My biggest complaint is the strap on the handle. The loop is on the TOP of the handle which means its in the way of the handle or draped over your hand when holding it. Why not have it on the BOTTOM? It’s also too small to hang on anything other than a hook. I’d like to hang it on the back of a regular doorknob but the loop is too small for even that. I havent tried to fit my hand through it to have around my wrist when i use but i imagine that wouldnt be too comfortable either.All-in-all a solid umbrella that’s worth a little extra $.
The wanderer –
Is everything I expected. It’s large, seems to be of good quality and opens easily. Though it does open with a bit of force the handle is well designed to give you good hold on it so it stays in my hand well. I have arthritis so the good size handle with finger grooves is very comfortable. It is a bit tight to push it back together when closes but that’s very common, never had one that was easy to close. This isn’t any harder to close than any other I’ve had. Overall I’m very please with it and hope to get many years of use out of it.
Philip Long –
I bought this to replace a transparent “kids” umbrella that broke in minutes in the hands of our 5 year old. It’s a good size for children and much sturdier. The spring mechanism is nice too.
Just A Square –
While the umbrella was sorta durable, I had to take off points because it was so hard to close. I had to to fight the umbrella to close it and that’s a no go during rainy weather
Old School Gamer –
I am 5’10”, 240, broad shoulders, and needed a compact but decent to large unfolding umbrella. This one so far is a good size. To many folding umbrellas barely open large enough for me. Folded i think this ones less then 18”. So it fits great in my bag when i dont need it
Jeanie D. Ray –
The only negative thing that I can say about this umbrella is when I use the automatic close button, it will splatter the water on me. But I can live with it easily enough! I really like the umbrella and it’s a pretty and bright pink color too!
M Pimentel –
Good product
Lynn Simonson –
This is a very nice size of umbrella, perfect for travels and on the go use
michal –
I really like this umbrella. I have had it for approximately 3 months and it still feels brand new, the cover is super high quality but I seldom use it because it’s more things to carry with me around. The wooden handle feels super high quality and the mechanism is perfect helps close the umbrella when getting into a vehicle quickly without getting too wet and helps open it up on the go. I also appreciate the wrist strap which helps carry and hold this wonderful umbrella, I will definitely be buying from them again, plus for the price this is an unbeatable steal.
Lisa –
When looking for a larger umbrella and came across this one. It fit nicely in my carryon bag for travel and help up nicely in the rain.
Ben –
This is my second umbrella from this seller. It’s strong and really holds up to a storm. Highly recommend!!!
JustMe –
Sturdy and covers my front, sides and my back using a back pack. Pops open quickly and pops closed though you do need to close the telescoping handle. I carry so many bags in and out of school and this umbrella keeps everything dry!
zarina –
Bought 3 of them, different colors, becasue they were selling for $11 circa. They do not look flimsy at all, quite the opposite. I don’t believe any umbrellas are built to last long, so if they last a couple of years, I’ll be happy. Nice built, nice colors, reasonable price.
Lev Veyde –
Feel like a very good quality item.It’s also the first umbrella I seen to not only open, but also (partially) close with a push of a button.
Stevie Phillips –
Love it, it’s large enough for 2, however it’s primarily for myself… I hate the other compact brands, although they keep your head dry, that’s all they do, this umbrella will definitely keep you dry exception being ankles and feet….The compactness is fine, easily fits into a back pack etc…The wooden handle is a nice style and grip I would recommend this umbrella for anyone.
Vishal Sharma –
My previous umbrella can’t able to handle the heavy and winds and broke down into parts. I was looking for a durable and quality umbrella that can last for long. I am sure it can handle heavy winds/rains for sure. So far,I am satisfied with the quality, durability and size of the umbrella. Cool thing is it has open and close button so I don’t have to worry about and it comes with its cover as well. It is very well suited for my family as two people can easily accommodate if needed compared to my last small one.I will surely update my review based on my future experience. So far I am satisfied with my purchase.
LK –
It’s hard to find a nice umbrella for reasons I don’t understand. I’m really pleased with this. Big enough for two or three if you squish, but smaller than you would think when it’s folded. Sturdy. I came back and bought a second one.
Erik C. –
mala calidad
W. C. Greer –
This is a really nice umbrella.It is a heavy, heavy-duty, umbrella and when open has a nice large canopy.It comes with a small strap attached to the handle, which is nice, but it’s so small I don’t know what you could use it for unless you put your thumb through it, or hang it with in order to dry. I wish it was a bigger so you could put your wrist through it.The wooden handle could be a bit larger. It is molded slightly to fit in your palm and has shaped places for your fingers. I have large hands so it fells a bit small for me, but I have no problems holding it.I’ve not yet had strong winds, which we are sure to have here throughout the year.Still, those are just being picky.. I liked it so well I purchased two, one for each vehicle and would purchase this again if I needed another.
Paul Weberg, OSB –
Just like less expensive umbrellas, this one eventually doesn’t hold up. One prong already bent.
Whitney M –
Bought this to use with my kids & for them under one umbrella, and also for my husband to use for golf! Love how large it it while open yet it’s pretty compact for convenience. It seems very sturdy and is easy to hold with one hand while I coral my kids underneath it.
Amazon Customer –
I am satisfied with this product, did not flip on a windy rainy day.,
Paola Mata –
As a mom with 2 kids this is a great product. It is easy to open one handed and also relatibly easy to close just a little hard to push in one handed.
Margaret Bussard –
I was looking for a travel umbrella for this summer and this is wonderful. Love the fun color, works up and down as expected and very compact. Not the smallest I’ve seen, but will fit in my backpack and opens very wide for good coverage. I notified customer service with a question and they were quick to respond and solve my issue (it was my issue, not theirs, lol).
Cecelia Mcgill –
Didn’t even make it a year what a waist
Mike D. –
Very good umbrella. I hate those cheap ones you by on the street. They are way too small and break too easy. This one is plenty big and it’s still collapsible. Good in the wind and if it blows inside out it goes back no problem. I put a carabiner on the end to hook it to my pants or the chair I’m sitting in. Don’t want this one to get stolen!
S Dorantes –
This is my favorite umbrella ever, it has a nice weight to it (doubles as a baton/weapon), the cloth is thick, it resists turning inside out (it still does in very high winds, but that’s on physics), the handle feels nice, it has sprung out and in flawlessly for over a year, it’s large (accommodates more than one person or covers you and your belongings well)…I think that covers most of the pros! My only complaint is that the metal on the inside that makes the umbrella’s frame doesn’t seem to resist rust, which I imagine will be a problem in the future and mess with the mechanisms, but I’ll try to update this when it becomes an issue. That aside, this is an amazing gift, a fun umbrella to have, I definitely recommend buying, perhaps just towel off the insides to extend its life from the get-go.
DC –
Works great as advertised!
BCM12242 –
It’s an umbrella. I bought it for nasty weather. It works as expected with the added advantage of blocking some sun at my grandchildren’s softball games.
Amazon Customer –
Good umbrella but not great. It’s 30 when the wind is around that is great part. However I only had it for I don’t know maybe 3 months maybe a little bit longer but the button open and closed already getting jammed. I bought a cheaper version at Target same size huge one and it lasted me for years until I accidentally broke it
Joel –
I liked it so much I purchased two. One to keep in my car and one to keep in the house. I recommend this completely
RB –
Pull cord broke on the handle after 3 uses, unsure how long this thing will last. I’ll bolt on a leather strap for now, but that cord is just glued in, FYI.
Larry Whitley –
The original umbrella I ordered was the perfect size to keep me dry, had a very nice handle, and was easy to open and close. Easily the best umbrella I had owned up to that point. However, the stretchers started to rust after 3 months or so of frequent use, and after the umbrella overturned in heavy wind it began to have some trouble opening and closing.However, I contacted customer service and they sent me a replacement umbrella which has all the positives of the first umbrella and has so far held up very well. I even used it on a windy night and it did great. I am grateful to Minnie, the customer service representative. She was very helpful and polite. I’ll be sure to buy from this company again in the future.
Janet –
I gave it a four star review because the snap that closes the umbrella broke. I am using a rubber band to keep it shut. Otherwise, the umbrella is sturdy and I like it.
Mary Jo Bible –
Great umbrella! Great coverage with no bulk!
biknblydncr –
Cute & sturdy
Amazon Customer –
I was giving so much thought on what umbrella to purchase because I was fed up with cheaply made ones. I have a long walk to get to work and when it rains, it sets the tone for a miserable day. This umbrella was everything you need – easy and quick to assemble as all you have to do is push a button. While walking, the umbrella will bend with the wind instead of flipping completely inside-out which means less fighting with the umbrella! I was also worried the umbrella would be too big, but it’s actually the perfect size. The sleeve to put over the umbrella when not in use is super helpful because it is easy to slip on – unlike most other umbrellas. Finally, the material dries SO quickly, I am actually shocked!! This is also helpful when bringing a wet umbrella into an office setting – very helpful that it drys fast!The only “negative” thing I would have to say is that when you close the umbrella, due to the force it closes with, all of the water on top of the umbrella bounces off which has gotten me wet a few times. Not a huge deal, but a bit annoying when the point it to stay dry. You can avoid this by pointing the umbrella to the ground though.
Mark –
The ideal umbrella for size (covers you and your plus one) and function, no need to look elsewhere. Tried totes and gustbusters over the years, this beats it. Only thing that could improve it is an umbrella holster of a sort, I like keeping my hands free when it stops raining but don’t want to have to keep bringing my bag to store it in.8/8/18 updateLove the coverage and compact size but sadly I started noticing formations of droplets around the joint areas of the umbrella (most if not all), it would then proceed to wet my shirt. Picture posted.
darlalove1011 –
I received my umbrella just in time. I am a teacher and have car pick duties at school. I umbrella arrived a day before the first rain. I loved it. However it was a little heavier than I expected, but I hope than means it is a good product. So far so good.
nuyelle –
I’m extremely disappointed in this product. I purchased it just last month to shield myself from the sun when going on short midday walks around my neighborhood. I don’t go on a walk everyday so I use this umbrella about 3-4 times a week. I can’t return it since the window to do so expired last week. I’m just so disappointed and will not purchase form this company again.
Heather Stack –
Fits perfectly in my kids back pack
Cina Huggins –

M L5656 –
INITIAL REVIEW:The strap on the side broke off after about one week. The part that connects the leather strap to the handle is very weak. The overall umbrella does not seem very sturdy and the core axis seems to wobble a lot as if the interlocking bars are not latching on tightly to each other which is visible when windy.Otherwise, it has a large coverage area and the ability to close after being inverted and then reopened are nice features.UPDATE (10/20/18): The company sent me a replacement and the strap is sturdier and the core frame is more stable in wind. Thank you for the replacement! It works great!
The Mains –
**UPDATE TO PREVIOUS REVIEW:I am changing this review to 4 stars based on the excellent customer service that we received from this company. They have replaced our damaged umbrella free of charge. We would definitely buy from this company again knowing that they stand behind their products and believe in customer satisfaction.*** We bought this umbrella a little over a year ago and used it maybe a half dozen times during that time frame without any issue. However, it could seriously injured someone on the NYC subway this past weekend while vacationing there. The umbrella kept jamming when trying to collapse the handle rod and then out of nowhere it shot off like a rocket into a crowd of people waiting to catch the train. I’m glad no one was injured and that it didn’t shoot off onto the tracks.
Happy Reader –
A very strong well made umbrella but it’s a bit heavy for everyday carry.
Angela Rubin –
Living in Florida it rains a lot. I keep this is my car and it’s just a great umbrella!
L. A. –
Stylish and very easy to hold and travel with. The only trouble it gave me is that for some reason it became tough to fold it in. It’s feasible I just have to struggle with it for a minute.
Bill Bailey –
Almost everything about this product is great. It withstands fairly high wind gusts. It automatically opens and closes. It has a compact design. The holder is useful/functional.But . . .. . . after having used this four or five times a week for a month-plus in the PNW (where it rains quite a bit), a SERIOUS problem has developed. At several of the primary and secondary joints (the places where the umbrella folds at the primary and then secondary positions), there are clear signs of rust developing. This suggests issues with the quality of the metal being used. It also suggests the long-term durability of the product is in question. All of which is a problem for a product that is meant to be used . . . in the rain.So, buyer beware.If there were a way to contact the seller, I would. But there isn’t. Bummer. As I said, I like this product . . . except for the fact that it seems designed to fail when being used in the conditions for which it is designed.Buyer beware.
B –
Best umbrella I have ever had. Looks classy too. Only 1 flaw, and it is a bit annoying — the strap is difficult to use, possibly because it is like too short. After much use (not abuse), when the velcro strap becomes warn out, you may substitute it by using the otherwise useless sleve, to keep it wrapped up. I bought this umbrella mainly because it was one of the only ones that has a good sized handle. Almost all other umbrella handles seemed like they were for children or small women?
M.C. Buyer –
I purchased the Lejorain 54 inch large umbrella just prior to going to Italy, and I knew I would run into some rain there. I liked the fact that the advertisement said it was light, folded up rather small, was golf umbrella size, and withstood wind gusts. I used it two days and it was fine except for the fact that the button to open and close it was difficult to push. On another day when it was rainy and windy, a gust of wind blew the umbrella to an inverted position as I have seen in cheap umbrellas. So I pushed it back to a position where it was open as a regular umbrella. When it stopped raining I tried to close it, but it would not close all the way by pushing the button. The company sent me a new umbrella when I returned from Italy. I respect the fact that they stood behind their product. I have had no problem with this umbrella that they sent me.

Wanted it to be bigger. But it’s ok. It does it’s job. Hasn’t flipped up on me yet. The only flaw as far as I’m concerned is you really have to have something to push against when trying to close it up. A fair amount of resistance is present and I cannot close it all the way unless I push it against something.

Get’s a 1 star because it broke on the first opening almost breaking a windshield I step out of the parking garage pop open the umbrella and the whole canopy shot off like a rocket and bounced off a Toyota’s windshield leaving an impact mark but no real damage, I do like the size of the opened umbrella so I’ll try it again they were quick to refund so I’ll give them another try.Follow up review I received my replacement and it works great, I gave it a dry run with several open and close operations and it was flawless, I was able to use it the other day and just like the dry run it preformed without a hitch, the teflon coating really works well just by closing it the rain gets knocked off almost completely and like I mentioned above I do like the size it opens to it handles well in the wind too. I would and have “recommend it to a friend”

The colors are so nice. This is one of those golf umbrellas but collapsible. Easy to use. Button pops it open and voila, huge umbrella! I use it for rain, obviously but also for shade. It also keeps me and my little dog that I carry nice and dry. I would buy again.

Not only did this umbrella last through our recent windstorm but it also kept us dry as well. There were a few times I had my 4 year old hold this while we were out and even she was able to hold it without being blown or the umbrella being blown out. When it’s times to fold it up, it folds down enough that if I wanted to, I could put it in my backpack purse, I chose not to because it was wet. However, when we did start to fold it down, the water just beaded off. We’ve had several days of rain and every time, I used this umbrella, there were no leaks coming through. No color running off or anything like that. Even with being left folded with some water trapped, I saw no signs or rust or discoloration in the metal wires. Looks great and is keeping us dry!

Great umbrealla for work and travel. I now have 2 and I got my husband one. I carry one with me in my work backpack and keep one in the car. They are good in wind and good protection against the rain.

After only using the umbrella once and shaking it off before sheathing it, I was surprised when the next time I used it there were rust stains on it but I couldn’t see any rust on any of the ribs. I’ve never had this happen with any umbrella I’ve owned. Fortunately the rust spots are only visible from the underside but not very happy about it. It works as described, it’s an umbrella.

I’ve had this umbrella since Feb 2018 (it’s now Nov). This morning, I open it, but the Velcro re-caught and it didn’t open. I released the umbrella from it’s Velcro, but it wouldn’t open. I tried to close it by pressing the button, but it wouldn’t let me collapse the center rod and it wouldn’t stay open. I tried for 10 mins on the metro to fix it and finally threw it away. I couldn’t figure out what went wrong. I did purchase another one just now, but 9 months doesn’t seem to be a long time before it broke especially since it’s been very dry this summer.
Michael M. Geramanis –
Really disappointed in this umbrella. This is the second I have had with this brand. Can I get it replaced????
Amazon Customer –
Unfortunately very bad quality. We just use it for the first time on the golf push cart, and normal wind broke it. It was the only umbrella among the team that got broken. 1 use and to the garbage….

Easy button open Large umbrella. Button did stick once. Otherwise, this is the umbrella that I wanted and needed. Fits in my rolling bag, has a cover to place it into when not in use, and it deploys with a push of a button. Built and Looks like I should have paid a lot more. Happy with this purchase.
Carmen B –
Sturdy, wide, open / close mechanism worked perfectly on arrival. Will update after this umbrella is properly tested through usage.

This order was actually to replace the same umbrella that I had left somewhere. Good quality and I love that it has an auto up and auto down option.
Sherry –
It’s a good quality and wind resistant as well. Very handy.
Elaine K. –
Bought this for my daughter for her wedding day and it was perfect. She and her ball gown stayed dry as she dashed from the car to the reception venue. It was so easy to use and the quality of the umbrella sure made it a great value. It saved the bride and the day!!
MikeDC –
I haven’t had the opportunity to use this new umbrella yet, but initial impressions are very favorable. The handle is very comfortable and the construction is sturdy. The spring mechanism that opens it is very strong. Love the size of the umbrella! I have a feeling that it will become my “go to” umbrella, replacing the one I used to keep in my car for all those times I seem to get caught in a downpour. I will update my review if my impressions change after use.
Judy Jasper –
Unfortunately the top half of the umbrella flew off on the first use. I am returning the item.**Update**The company (which has fantastic customer service) contacted me and replaced the item. I have not had the opportunity to use the umbrella due to sunny weather but did test it and the top half stayed attached. I am giving them 4 stars for the wonderful customer service. If the umbrella stays intact after the first use I will edit this review again and give them 5 stars.
ruth –
I got a black one so I can use it for sunny and rainy days. I use it with my husband and it covers both of us pretty well. It’s sturdy even under super windy weather. The weight is on the heavy end but that’s what my husband likes.
Delene –
Umbrella is Huge, not sure how long it will last. I’ll leave a review further down.
Debbie M. –
I like the compact size of the product. I haven’t really had the opportunity to use it much since my location has not had much rain.
PTL –
Most umbrellas fail to withstand the winds of the northeast United States. I specifically bought this umbrella because I thought it had a solid chance. Unfortunately, it failed during our recent Nor’easters, and I was very displeased. Well, it turns out that this company stands by their product, and replaced it! What a class act. I do not regret this purchase in the least.
Chloe –
We loved this umbrella for our trip to Europe. It served us well in pretty windy conditions. It was slightly tight for two people, but it’s about as big as you can get for folding this small. The wooden handle is great, your hand fits to it and it’s pretty comfortable. Too bad we forgot it at the conciergie! We’ll probably buy another one.
Kimberly Lumsdon –
Good deal.

It is stylish, sturdy, and compact. Works great!!!! The handle is very pretty.

Good heavy umbrella , will cover 2 people ! Hope it lasts
Able Laboratory, Inc. –
When I bought this umbrella, I did not realize it folded automatically, too. It is a great feature!! The umbrella is lightweight and compact, despite its unusually large size. Would recommend this to anyone who hates to get wet!

Es una bonita sombrilla, pero al tercer uso se reventó una cuerda interna y no volvió a funcionar, Perdí mi dinero.
Micah H Emmons –
Update 12/2020: Used replacement numerous times without issue. Very pleased overall. I would buy again when I need another umbrella.Update 10/2019: Received a replacement umbrella. Looks and feels like previous one. Very happy that they have replaced it.Update 09/2019: The seller has agreed to ship a replacement umbrella to me. Very responsive and will update this again once replacement arrives.I bought this in May of 2018 and used it about a dozen times before it broke (the canopy and spring shot off the end when I pressed the button to use it in a downpour). Very disappointing because it was a great umbrella. I wish it would’ve lasted longer for the price I paid.
Steve Sklaris –
This is my second one. Someone else liked my first one so much that they disappeared with it. Hopefully the second one stays with me longer. Love the size and sturdiness.
frank petitto –
Absolutely the best. Umbrella on the planet!!! Great style, great price & strong product!!!!
Miso –
In the three times I’ve used it since purchase, it’s handled heavy rain and winds without issue, and dried off quickly. I got tired of carrying a large non-folding umbrella around, and this folds to a convenient size and seems just as well made while still providing a canopy large enough to fit two people comfortably. I’ll try to remember to update with notes about durability after six months to a year.
Susan H –
Used the umbrella several times already. It has performed exactly the way I expected and wanted. Thank you!
W.B –
I’m thrilled with this umbrella. I got the 52” size in red. It’s the perfect oversized umbrella that I had been looking for. It also is equipped to handle strong winds and has a nice sturdy shaft with an elegant wooden handle. I can’t wait for it to rain so I can use it!
Dan Da Man –
As expected

bought for the second time, misplaced the first one
Teresa Brown –
I love this umbrella because of its size, it’s sturdiness and it’s sun protection. Sun protection is very important to me and it’s great for traveling. Great purchase
Chuck –
This is a very solid compact travel umbrella for daily sun protection. I don’t think you could build a better sun umbrella within these parameters.Sunscreen is nice, but getting close to the claimed SPF ratings requires applying sunscreen very thick and about every hour. Even then, American sunscreens, even those claiming to be “broad-spectrum” provide only a fraction of the UVA protection as the SPF rating on the label, which corresponds to UVB protection. Reducing your total sun exposure through a physical barrier is the best first line of defense again sun-damage and melanoma.This umbrella very well build and sturdy. It has a very good spring mechanism that’s never failed. Pressing the button when open collapses the umbrella, which you then need to push down to click into the base. It does require significant force to push the umbrella down, which might be an issue for a geriatric. The design does a fair job in the wind, though you are fighting physics trying to carry a dome-object through the air and may encounter significant air-resistance under moderately windy conditions.The fabric seems to block all light and I’m convinced blocks all UV light based on company claims. An odd design decision is the fact that the underside is a somewhat reflective silver- surely it was meant to go the other way around? I suppose it’s possible a few errant rays may bounce off of the pavement, bounce off the reflective silver and onto you, but I don’t think this will result in any meaningful sun exposure.The biggest reason not to buy the “compact travel” umbrella is the size. It’s a compact travel umbrella. It fits conveniently in a bag. It’s also not too large to walk with on busy city streets. But that silhouette can be a little hard to work with. I’m a broad shouldered, big male and find I need to adjust the hand I use based on the time of day to keep the shadow covering my arms. I also need to keep the umbrella tilted towards the sun or else one side of me will get baked. It’s not impossible to use, but it does require a bit extra of an effort. That said, given the tightness of busy sidewalks, I really wouldn’t want to deal with anything larger.If you DON’T need something to carry with you on busy sidewalks, I’d strongly encourage getting something golf-sized or larger.

Katherine –
Bought this July of last year. During heavy rains or winds, I just add this umbrella to my bag, it’s survived NYC’s rains and winds. However, I will add, there was one incident where the wind popped the umbrella backwards, however, it didn’t break and all I had to do was go against the direction of the wind for a second to pop it back in place. Very useful, love the traveling case and portability, will recommend !
William R Cook –
Large canopy liked, easy open, bright color, good in the wind and rain in Toronto.

I have ordered 2 of these highly durable and well made golf umbellas and am impressed with the quality. I am getting ready to order another for my brother’s birthday.Thank you for an exceptionable product. Well woth the money.PS My family lives in Florida where we get lots of rain!Christine
FBishop –
Like it’s compact size with large coverage. But, it’s heavy. Heavier than expected. Storage sleeve not so easy to use. But it has a zipper so it works fine.
S S Sahota –
This has to be the worst umbrella I’ve ever had. I bought two and within seconds both turned inside out (without much wind) and the spokes broke. I will be returning them both.
Gerard Lapuente –
It does its job.
Jamie Edwards –
I love this umbrella however it flips up when the wind is high…
Din –
Really like this umbrella. It is a pretty large umbrella. However, I did have it flip at times due to high winds.
Sharon Hodge –
Very well made and sturdy.
Amazon Customer –
This is a good-looking umbrella, primarily due to the nice wood handle, and I also purchased it for its ability to both auto-open and auto-close, which it does well…however, that’s where any positives end. The framework for the umbrella canopy is so flimsy that if there is any breeze at all during a rainstorm, it will cause the canopy to invert…and, since such breezes/winds typically occur during the heavier rainstorms, this is a critical design flaw. This inversion has happened to me in numerous rainstorms (which of course caused me to get soaking wet), and so I’m now searching for a better alternative. You’re better advised to spend your money on something sturdier, even if it may not be quite as stylish.
Lehrer –
holding up well so far, after 6 months
Nicole –
This umbrella feels sturdy and the handle feels nice in my hand. The auto open and auto close feature is nice and makes it easier to get in and out of the car without getting wet. The size of the umbrella is also perfect for me to use when I have a large bag or my daughter with me and I want to keep everyone and everything with me dry.
Greg –
Great i keep it in my car and it fits right under my seat. Bought a coupler more for family members. Fits me and the wife under it easily
shoe fetish –
This is a perfect umbrella and I will remember to buy this one again should I need another. Canopy is great in size and the handle extension is perfect. Thank you for this design, it is a winner.
Amazon Customer –
Love the way it opens and closes
HoratioCornholer –
This umbrella was my daily rain-blocker for my on-foot commute to work and back. Quick to deploy and stow, I had no major complaints about it besides the lanyard itself is awkwardly small (can’t put it around my hand to sit on my wrist) and the placement of it to begin with doesn’t leverage much utility besides putting only my thumb through the loop. Then last week Friday (3 days ago) a strong wind gust came along and blew into the underside of the umbrella just after I pressed the button in an attempt to stow it, which seemed to permanently make it impossible to stow or deploy, caught in umbrellimbo as it were.I contacted the seller about my issue and they immediately sent me a replacement unit. That arrived on Sunday (yesterday). So fantastic satisfaction from their warranty/service department!Other things I like about the umbrella:-as others have pointed out, the cover itself has a zipper along it to make it easy to access and stow the umbrella-coverage area of the umbrella is surprisingly high for a compact-form unit-handle feels solid-I have no problems with the spring action on it, the amount of force necessary to collapse it after pressing the release button is comparable to other compact automatic umbrellas I’ve used
Jeff –
Solid construction and excellent coverage. Great umbrella in a compact package
Amazon Customer –
I bought this for traveling in the UK. I only used it one day. It stood up to the wind fine and stayed in the side pocket of my backpack when not in use. Open and closes easy.
Cynthia l Knighton –
Very sturdy umbrella at a great price!
DebG –
I wanted an umbrella that was well made as one I’d bought and carried for 20 years. This one so fits the bill! It is well made, opens easily, a good diameter. Not as much a fan of the closing mechanism but figure it’s because it’s so new. Thinking about purchasing another
Lynette –
This is a great buy.Very sturdy. A little heavier than I wanted,but kept it any way as the quality is fantastic..
Smallwonder –
Bought 2 of these umbrella in 2018. Although we haven’t had much call to use them (we live in a desert clime), we take them with us when we travel in the event we run into rain. Whereas many umbrellas boast an auto-open feature, these umbrellas also have a push button close, which is a great feature! They are lightweight yet sturdy. During a recent rainstorm, I was glad to have my trusty umbrella with me while I ran errands. It worked like a charm the first open/close, but the next time I opened it, the ribs didn’t fully expand. I had registered both umbrellas with the company for the lifetime warranty, so contacted them & included a photo of the issue. What a response! They were Johnny-on-the-spot in their reply. The told me not to return the umbrella & they would be sending a replacement. The next day the replacement arrived! True Customer service is a rarity these days. How encouraging to know a company honors their warranties & stands behind their product. I hight recommend this umbrella for both quality & company integrity.
Valentino –
The umbrella itself is amazing. It’s hard to find an umbrella this size that can be retracted where I can fit in my cargos, exactly what I need for work. However, on its first Use it broke, perhaps due to strong wind. The merchant was extremely friendly to work with and replaced my broken one after sending him pictures. The new one works perfectly so far.

This folding umbrella is huge, which is why we bought them (2). They work fine and appear to be well made, but time will tell. I am happy with each of them and would order them again.

This umbrella is nice and wide, and feels solid in my hands. Im sure it will provide adequate coverage while walking with my two kids. I love the auto open/close feature, which is very convenient for getting in and out of the car. I havent used it many times, so I cant speak on durability, but so far I like it.
Md Nazmul Ahsan –
So far seems good, used a few times in calm weather with moderate rain. I like the size and the grip, hope it performs well in high wind and heavy rain in the long run.
Eli –
The umbrella is very nice and completely great for windy weather.
Carol Y –
nice to keep in car… I have carried it with me, just in case, and has worked well for keeping the rain at bay on those times. It hasn’t gotten wet yet though.
mauricio –
I’m very happy with the purchase
Chris W. –
Don’t get me wrong, this umbrella is probably one of the best umbrellas i’ve used before. Not only it hands SOME winds, but it closes automatically with a push of a button. But with every umbrella there’s always some caveats that bogs the item down. One of which its very lightweight, and that’s a positive and negative depending. Its lightweight meaning you can carry it in a bag and/or purse with no problem and you can hold on it very easily….the downside is pretty much what happened in a picture i took…in very strong winds the stem bends and if its bends to the point that you can’t snap the umbrella when you try to close it makes it hard to use.so now i have an umbrella that is bent due to very strong winds and its hard to close. so unfortunately i can’t give this a full 5 rather than a 3; the umbrella is very nice and easy to hold but it can’t stand up against stronger winds making it very easy to bend or nearly broken.
Vicki M –
$27 is way more than I would ever want to spend on an umbrella. But I had a Walmart umbrella that I paid $10 for it did last me years but this one is well worth $27. The material is very sturdy the umbrella feels very solid when it’s raining and windy where my $10 one felt like it was going to flip inside out, love the pink color. I would definitely purchase it again
Monica Wilson –
No
Robert B –
Easy to carry when heading out when there might be the chance of rain. Large canopy provides far better protection than most other portable/telescoping umbrellas. Wide choice of colors. Zippered cover make stowage a snap.
Marie K. –
I love how big it is and the wood handle. Good quality umbrella and easy to use.
varasztan –
I live in Arizona so I can count on one hand how many times I’ve used my umbrella since I’ve purchased it a couple of years ago. . . and I would still have fingers left over. This morning I awakened to rain! A joyous day to say the least and I was very excited to use my umbrella. I love the wooden handle btw. I pushed the button to open the umbrella and instantly noticed and heard something I didn’t anticipate and certainly didn’t want to hear. . . a broken plastic part of a hinge in one of the ribs. If I used this umbrella several times a year for a few days at a time then I think any reasonable person would expect an umbrella to wear out over time, but this is far from that scenario. Maybe I just got a bad umbrella. . . Can’t always go by reviews I guess. . .

This a very nice and well made umbrella. It is sturdy. It has a feature where you push a button button and it goes up, but then it you push the button again and it come down. That’s nice.

Great golf umbrella for half the price of name brand golf company umbrellas
Amazon Customer –
These are great umbrellas when they work, but the mechanism will fail in a couple years or so of regular use. I think I’m on my third one, but I have yet to find another large umbrella that collapses into something this small, so I keep buying them.
Mamma Llamma –
I’ve only used a few times, difficult to take down as you’ll need to be on the strong side. I’m pretty strong and it was difficult. Hopefully it will get easier as I use it more. If not I’ll give it to someone frequents the weight room at the gym.
Hope & Josh –
The umbrella started off great, it’s certainly wider than most similarly sized travel umbrellas and is able to withstand a few inversions and pop back into place fairly simply, but the shaft and mechanism that controls the open and close failed pretty quickly, failing well before the umbrella itself. After a couple of light uses the push button mechanism became quite finicky, and the umbrella had a difficult time extending all the way open and required a manual push. Closing the umbrella became increasingly difficult over the 10 uses, requiring more and more effort to compress the umbrella back into place. Last night while trying to close the umbrella the shaft of the umbrella rocketed off along with the spring (see picture) so that was basically the end of it.As other reviewers noted, the umbrella has a lot of nice features, but I fear the quality just isn’t there for the long haul (or when you really need it) and wasn’t as reliable as I would have hoped given the price.****************************Review Update – 10/28/2018The seller reached out to me to understand the issues I had with the umbrella and sent me a replacement immediately. I have had a chance to use it and it appears to be of better build quality than the original and will update in time if it (hopefully) holds up better. Definitely appreciate the customer service provided, the team there is very proactive in trying to fix issues customers have identified. Added 2 stars due to responsiveness and replacement
Kindle purchase –
Revising my review. As I suspected, vent feature is useless in the kind of wind we get around here. However, it may be impossible to make the vents open completely the way collapsing umbrellas have to fold. Anyway, I’m adding a star because it flipped over twice yesterday in my wind test (weather service said we were getting 40 MPH gusts, but I think it took 25 to flip it). But I hit the button to close it, it released, and appears to be fine. So, it’s a very sturdy umbrella.Original review:I hate the auto close feature you can’t get away from now. It makes the umbrella heavier and the button is usually right under your hand where disaster is just a squeeze away as you dash across a street in a downpour. What sold this one is the button is out of the way up above the handle. Still, the umbrella is heavier than is needs to be. And the upper or middle sheet of the canopy is firmly attached to the ribs, unlike some other vented umbrellas. We’ll see what happens in the stiff winds of western New York state. All that said, it is well made and functions well. And the handle is sensible.
Myrlande –
I really like this umbrella- it’s the perfect size to carry but large enough to provide ample coverage. It has a button to automatically extend and expand and the same button allows it to also contract when closing it. The sleeve has a zipper which helps immensely with putting it away. I usually leave my umbrella in the car because of how cumbersome larger umbrellas tend to be but now I can carry it in my purse (albeit only if I’m carrying a larger purse). That coupled with the beautiful wooden handle make it really worth it for me. All in all a good purchase

Good umbrella with good coverage but I’ve had it less than 6 months and it’s broken. I live in Florida and work outdoors and we all know summer is the rainy season! I need a good umbrella. This one just didn’t stand up.

I really enjoyed how easy it is to open/close this umbrella. However, it feels a bit heavier than others. Other than that, I’d absolutely recommend it.

This Umbrella is built tough. Very sturdy. Fits perfectly in my airplane carry on luggage.
Zingo –
Here is what you need to know!The compact umbrella is a gem for its rapid open and close feature – it is just not ideal for trying to get in and out of a car. The mechanism requires that you physically push the closed canopy back down into the base before it resets. I shared my dismay (see below) with the company and they immediately reached out to me and offered a differently designed, reverse closing canopy umbrella – this one is PERFECT for getting into and out of the car – it requires that the canopy be manually closed but that is ok since the water stays captured in the umbrella. It drys quickly when I get to wherever I am going and open the canopy so that it may dry.I hope that this information helps any of you prospective buyers. These are nice umbrellas and a great little company.Thank you so much for great and responsive customer service.For reference – two pictures on left are of the full canopy reverse closing umbrella – good for dry escapes into cars or on buses. The two pictures on the right are of the compact travel umbrella – both are windproof.Ok this was my initial review . . . This is a good sturdy umbrella but it is unreasonably hard to close and the movement is not smooth. I miss my old standard totes umbrella. It’ll do for now. Seems to function well for rain protection but hard to close.
Dahlia –
Very good for the rain season
Amazon Customer –
It was raining heavy and the wind was blowing so I decided to use the umbrella. As I walked through the streets, it could not stay in place. The umbrella turned inside out. I would say they designed the bridges weak. If the rain is heavy, the umbrella will not be able to cover your shoes or lower area of your pants (it gets wet) especially if you’re a taller person. I recommend buying another umbrella.update: This umbrella isn’t even 6months old and there is rust on it. Don’t buy it. An umbrella needs to form a lower canopy so wind doesn’t get in to flip it inside out.update 2: Although the umbrella isn’t the best quality, you can ask for a replacement under their warranty. two more stars for good customer service :D.

Expected better for the price
yankee2 –
As noted elsewhere, this umbrella is big. It will easily accommodate 2 (my wife and I fit easily, even in heavy rain). The automatic open/close mechanism works great, but it seems there is no manual mode, i.e. that using the button is necessary, for both opening and closing. I tried to close it manually at first, and it got stuck between open and closed positions. I figured it out pretty fast, but that is a consideration, though like I say, the automatic mechanism works flawlessly. The structure seems very sturdy, which no doubt accounts for it being a bit on the heavy side, but I like to feel like my stuff won’t fail, and this item is solid. Even the fabric is heavy-weight, compared with most hand-held umbrellas I ever knew. This is a great umbrella, especially at this price! Recommended.
Jocelyn –
Have used 2 times so far in windy rain. So far so good. Easy to open and close with button. Like the size, big enough so when carrying a back pack , water is not dripping from edge of umbrella. Compact enough to fit in my large tote bag. It is a bit on the heavy side. Would have liked the handle to be a 1/2 or even 1 inch shorter so it could fit in one of my medium bags. Overall satisfied with purchase.
Amazon Customer –
It seems sturdy
Missy Renforth –
I buy these every year for high school graduates that will be attending college.
Mary S. –
The size of the umbrella is a bit larger than a standard umbrella – good for two people. It’s comfortable to hold and easy to open and close. Lightweight for carrying in a tote bag. But on the first day that I used it, the winds were about 20 mph and it turned inside out. It’s a nice umbrella otherwise and the pink shade is pretty, so I’m keeping it, but won’t use it on windy days.
DGr8 –
Slightly heavy for me coz I’m a petite lady… BUT because it’s comes with its sturdiness and durability. Otherwise I love this umbrella – the one I wanted, the one I’m looking for.

It was sturdy, but closing the umbrella was difficult.

Shane Hurley –
This is a large and effective umbrella. The size really covers you from most sides.tge first umbrella I ordered did end up breaking from a strong wind. The company really stepped up and sent me a new one. The. Ew one has yet to break. I recommend not trying to face the Gail forces with this umbrella but it will do fine at keeping you dry.
Arnold –
Wow this umbrella is so incredible I ordered one first and I waited an hour to decide whether to buy only one or two so at the end I canceled the order and I purchased two and now that I have the umbrellas I’m very happy on purchasing two of them the quality is a very good quality and for the price is an umbrella that you must have and the size wow is incredible it looks like is not that big but when opens wow it’s a huge umbrella I’m happy with the umbrellas and I might buy more in the future.

Very good craftsmanship umbrella was a little disappointing on size, but overall pleased with the craftsmanship.
S. Prince –
I like this umbrella because it can keep me protected when it’s raining hard. It’s wide enough to keep rain from my shoulders and torso even when the wind is blowing. This in nothing like the toy umbrellas that some women stuff into a purse for compact convenience. It opens and closes easily.
Ali –
Highly recommend this product, no need to spend a few hundred on other products this does the job and looks quality
Debra Pickrel –
The umbrella itself is good but the loop provided for the so-called “handle” falls apart, as it is not strong enough to hold the weight of the umbrella. I have only had this product for four months and used it only a few times. Very disappointing, as I can no longer reliably use it.
Amazon Customer –
Update- following my earlier review the company contacted me and sent a new umbrella. I’ve had it for a few months now with no issues. It’s not the sturdiest umbrella I’ve even owned on super windy days but it gets the job done for the price. Also impressed with the customer service so giving 4 starsBroke after one use. The first gust of wind it snapped and then I went and missed the return window. What a waste of money.

I love the size – very practical.The button can be difficult to locate without looking. I leave home for work well before dawn, and trying to find the button in the dark, in the rain, and with a bag hanging off my arm is very irritating.The “spring” mechanism is an elastic band. I find it difficult to understand why use long lasting materials for the canopy and such a short-living mechanism. My previous umbrella with an elastic started to jam after 2 months of a rainy season. What happened to the steel springs?I would like to see a hooked handle for easy hanging off of something, or finding the mechanism button. without having to look.

My wife was carrying this tiny little umbrella around with her to work and, although it was small and convenient for her, it simply wasn’t big enough to deal with our Florida daily storms, especially if another person tried to get under it with her. This umbrella, on the other hand, despite being almost the same size to store and carry, opens to a much larger canopy and the fact that it closes automatically too really sold her on it. It’s great.

This was bought as a gift and it could not have been more perfect. It is the best umbrella I have ever seen and the price is very reasonable for something with such great construction and durability. It was a gift to replace one very similar that finally ended up being forgotten at a restaurant. When found this one to replace it, it was a major hit! Thank you!

Wow. This is actually a really great umbrella. It is one of the biggest ones I’ve found with a collapsible handle, only my giant golf umbrella (which doesn’t collapse) is bigger, and it will even recover from being blown inside out. My only – very minor – quibble is it’s open/close mechanism is housed inside a pretty large wooden handle at the base. So it’s total collapsed length is a bit longer than I want for something I’d hoped to keep stashed in my purse (it only fits at an angle), and the total weight is also about double what I’d have expected based on my other portable umbrella. That said, it’s very high quality and I’m quite happy with my purchase.
Barbara Wildforster –
Too much umbrella if ur looking for something fast and easy for an occasional rain. Came broken, I don’t hold that against them these things happen sometimes. Would not lock into place when opened. Big, sturdy & love the zipper cover hard to find that. Wish more of them had covers to keep from getting dirty when kept in car. Easy return.
Paulette –
I was surprised at the sturdiness of this umbrella! Very solid design! I love the ease of the push button to open it! Definitely recommend!
CLT –
Only reason it got 4 stars for durability is because it broke on a particularly windy day. I did order another one later that day, if that tells you anything. Overall a great umbrella!

It rained a lot on our trip to Washington DC. we were glad we purchased this umbrella big enough for two people to walk in a bad rain.My wife popped open the umbrella as we passed some tourists and a little boy said wow that’s big.It’s a sturdy umbrella and it has served us well.
Lisa Sanchez –
Perfect size and easy! It opens and shuts automatically and has much wider coverage than those tiny compact umbrellas so it is a little larger to carry but well worth it!
Cynthia –
absolutely love this umbrella. It looks sleek, and covers more than just one tiny person! Haven’t had any issues and have had it over a year. Definitely plan on getting more for the rest of the fam.

I used this umbrella for the first time yesterday. At first everything was great but then with slight winds things started going wrong.First I noticed the handle is a little wobbly. It’s hard to hold the umbrella in a straight position with a little wind. Not a big deal I just rested it on my shoulder.It was a bigger deal than I thought. With the umbrella angled a little more because it was on my shoulder, the wind started to push the second joint down. It held, but looked incredibly stressful on the arms. So I tilted the umbrella the other way to let the wind vent through the double canopy.This was a mistake. The umbrella almost immediately flipped inside out. These were 5-10mph winds. I had to collapse the canopy and push it completely closed in order to open it again.I really wanted to like this umbrella. It’s by far the largest canopy I could find in a travel size umbrella.Pros-compact size-largest canopy in its class-teflon coating dries in just a few minutes-release button makes it easy to open from a car-lightweightCons-can only be used when there’s no wind-handle is wobbly-if it flips inside out you have to stand there in the rain until you can close and open it again.-hard to open with slight wind, if you’re opening it and facing the wind you have to manually help it open after pushing the button because it’s not strong enough to overcome on it’s own.I’m still on the fence as to whether I will return this or not. Despite it’s shortcomings it may be worth it to keep as a backup.

I only used this umbrella for a couple of week. the umbrellas wooden handle is a great design but everything else is a nightmare. Now the umbrella cannot close properly, It was unfolded by the wind . Now the metal arms for the umbrella has been damaged. I should expect a better quality umbrella especially at this price point. this is a pretty disappointing product

Good value, easy carry

Very well constructed!

This travels with me all the time. It has proved sturdy in the high winds of Chicago and the lake shore. It has inverted several times with no damage. After several years I have had to patch the fabric over one rib with ripstop repair tape. A very good umbrella for the price.
Rick –
Love it! Pretty and functional.
Forrest G. Burns –
It seemed like it was built to last a long time.

This is a sturdy umbrella that holds up on a rainy windy day. With the money.

This umbrella is awesome it opens when you get out of the car and collapses when you go back to your car to get in.

Very compact. Opens with press of button. Canopy also closes with press of button. Sturdy construction. Large enough to protect one person.

Loveit love it .color,funtion.

Umbrella works very easily & it has great style.
Hadessah –
I ordered the red and the color is so rich and beautiful. This umbrella is very strong. I was in the wind and I did not see the air go through the air slits but the structure was very strong to hold the umbrella open. This is a very large umbrella. Two people can easily walk under it. Feels so nice and sturdy. Most of my umbrellas have been very cheap. I like the feel of sturdy. It is a little bigger around than the cheaper, smaller ones. Dries quickly. When you press the button the umbrella quickly opens up full. It is fun to open but to close not so much. Again you press the button and the umbrella quickly closes which is very nice but then you have to press very hard to close. It won’t open unless it is completely closed. Does take effort to close it. Not crazy about that feature but all in all I would buy again and would recommend to a friend. I love my umbrella. There are so many styles now. When I close it I just shake the water off and it becomes quite water free at this point to roll up and stick in my purse. Love it.
Simplyjustjo –
I love that this umbrella is big enough to cover me and one child and yet small enough to put away in my bag. It’s pretty sturdy, and the extra layer outside helps to prevent the umbrella from flipping under a windy weather.
Drew –
First off, I want to say how great the customer service is with this company. I ordered a an umbrella, and when it arrived, fairly fast I might add…. it seemed nice. Two days later i found that the top was broke and it wouldnt close. I would say within 2-3 days i had a replacement umbrella and I’ve really tested the crap out of it. So far its been great! It looks wonderful, funtions well everytime, and the teflon coating is no joke. I will definitely be back in the future.
John S –
Works great for me — been using it for many months in windy, rainy New England. I’m a little tall, so small umbrellas don’t work well for me. With a single push of the button the whole very broad umbrella pops open — and with another push of the button the top folds in and allows me to push down on the top of the shaft with one hand (as per the instructions) to compress the shaft. The umbrella opens in fraction of a second and closes in 2 to 3 seconds. It has worked well on a couple of windy days when I held it at the correct angle. It’s of course heavier and bulkier than teensy folding umbrellas, but it fits easily in my day pack and keeps me drier than any other folding umbrella I’ve used.
Susie Carmichael –
Nice sized umbrella. Don’t like that it rusted after one use.
t2winz –
Totally disappointed. After a week, rods started to bend and detach. Wrist strap detached. It is built like your random bargain Umbrella.Absolutely not worth the price and I bought 2. Smh.Update: After various back-and-forth emails, the Lejorain team were responsible and sent me 2 replacement umbrellas. They were so concerned about my review that they reached out via WhatsApp and took care of the replacement order thru there. The replacement umbrellas were smaller than what I ordered, no wind vent. But they seem to be made with better materialReview going from 1 star to 3 stars
Janice MacGowan –
My second one. Great in the wind.
Brandon –
This compact umbrella really exceeded my expectations. I stows down to a reasonably compact size, but opens up in to a nearly full size golf umbrella! I’ve used mine a LOT in the past couple of years and it works as well today as it did when I got it. Highly recommended!
Amazon Customer –
First of all the umbrella is huge. It could easily fit 2 people without any problem.Also the wind proof layer is nicely attached on umbrella and able to withstand strong wind by the sea.The umbrella itself is heavier than average foldable models, but the auto open and close button helps a lot when in use.In general nice umbrella with great quality. Probably the best at this price point.
Reanna –
Received the umbrella right on time. Glad that I had read other review prior to opening the it the first time – it does open with quite a force and retracts well. I would give it 5 stars if you did not have to give a good push, (the umbrella) back into the original “snap” position in order to deploy it to open again. This can problematic, when exiting a car in the rain. Other than that it seems like it well constructed and it was very easy to place back into the storage sleeve.
JM_Ports –
Overall, highly recommend
Kevin M. Schaefer –
I am giving this umbrella four stars, because I am already on my second one. I have been using this umbrella for about a month now, and it really is surprisingly good quality for the price, but it has failed on me. This past weekend I went to collapse it, and two of the support arms completely failed and even bent. It was garbage, but I really think that this was just a fluke, so I bought another one. If something goes wrong with it, I will update my review; until then, I still like it!
Yichen Zhao –
0.23in diameter steel wire works well to replace the flimsy rivets. But since I didn’t by an umbrella to build it myself, this umbrella has terrible build quality.
Amazon Customer –
Wish the wrapping tie rope to be double adhesive type because the button type wear out rather quickly upon frequent uses, may impose durability issue down the road; other than that, the workmanship quality seems to be quite solid over all.
quechris –
I am not sure it will hold against strong wind because I’ve not experienced that yet. It is a pretty color, which is what drew me in to begin with. It is a nightmare, however, to fold it back and put it in it’s little carry case. All in all I was expecting it to be a much bigger umbrella in terms of coverage. But in my opinion, it’s basically the same size small umbrella you see most women carry. So if you’re looking for a cute and small umbrella, you may be happy with this one.
Ronald M Thorn –
I purchased this umbrella and only used it a few times and it would not close. Problem was that was after the return time had passed. After reviewing it and telling of my experience, Lejorain reached out to me immediately and replaced the umbrella. I have not used the new one yet, but I gave it a four star because of the service. I was impressed. I am giving it the benefit of doubt in that the problem with the first one was just an abnormality and that this one will work great.I love the operation of this umbrella and hope it works as intended this time.

This is my third EEZY Wind Resistant Umbrella. I live in the Pacific Northwest and use public transportation daily for work. I fell in love with my first, hot pink EEZY. The umbrella saw me through wind, rain and snow while keeping me dry, no matter what weather threw at it. I lost umbrella number one and had to have a replacement. I purchased number two, bright yellow, in November of 2017.Number two continued to keep me dry and would receive frequent compliments on the bright and cheery color. During a particularly nasty storm number two turned inside out. The tall buildings by my office create super wind tunnels. This was not the first time the umbrella turned inside out. In the past I only had to flip it back and go on my way. Imagine my dismay when I realized one of the rivets on a rib had popped out. Poor little thing, the rib would pop back into place, but couldn’t keep its shape in the wind.I was skeptical about the lifetime warranty but decided to give it a try before buying umbrella number three.I sent an email to the company. They responded promptly, requested a picture of the problem. Picture sent and less than a week later, number three, another bright yellow, was delivered.Yahoo!Thank you EEZY for standing behind your most excellent umbrellas.

Double layer top let’s air through. Button pop up and closure
toothdoc –
I bought this umbrella hoping for a compact but large canopy umbrella. I thought that push button open AND close would be good. I like the large canopy that kept me and my bag dry. But I was disappointed on several points: 1) umbrella is rather heavy, 2) handle is short so umbrella is top heavy and not well balanced 3) I have to turn umbrella with difficulty in my hand (or use 2 hands) in order to line up my thumb with the push button 4) tie down strap is just barely long enough to close around closed canopy when it is DRY and is a struggle to close when it is WET (especially since I have small hands and it’s difficult to get my fingers around the closed wet canopy) 5) pushing the button to open requires quite a bit of thumb strength 6) push button close requires 2 steps: push button to close canopy then both hands are required to compress the handle toward the canopy to collapse the spring-driven shaft UNTIL IT CLICKS FIRMLY. Otherwise, the shaft will pop open again and the umbrella cannot be opened or closed further with the push button. I have gotten soaking wet so many times getting into my car in the 2 1/2 months I’ve had this umbrella. The final straw was when it was pouring rain and I held the umbrella up as I got out of my car, pushed the button and the canopy and the top half of the shaft and spring shot out about 20 feet across the parking lot leaving me holding the bottom half of the shaft and handle in my hand. It is now totally useless with the spring hanging out. I noticed other buyers have had similar experience. I would prefer an umbrella that I can easily open and manage with one hand. Would not buy it again.
Dave P. –
The umbrella performs as advertised. It looked well constructed when i first opened it and it felt hefty, suggesting it was well constructed. So far it has stood up to strong winds without issue. I recently appreciated I had this umbrella compared to the typical light collapsible umbrellas most were using. Their umbrellas clearly had seen better days because of the wind. The umbrella recently turned inside out because of the wind, but went back to normal without worse for wear. The canopy is much larger than typical folding umbrellas, which helps protect against the rain, especially if you are carrying an over-the-shoulder satchel or similar bag.
Russell A. Minor –
Durable, sturdy and the perfect size. So far, so good with the windproof claim.
Jessica P –
TL;DR: good for basic rain and winds under 10 mph, but over that, grab a smaller more wind-worthy umbrella.This umbrella is a happy medium between portable and sizable so it comfortably covers a backpack or purse from the rain. The umbrella itself seems to be constructed just fine (except for wind). The release button works both for opening and closing, which is nice. The material itself seems to be durable enough for rain. I do wish the strap loop was a little larger to more easily fit around the wrist, considering the length of the umbrella when folded.The biggest issue with the umbrella is that it does not withstand winds that are around 10-15 mph. It is mostly due to the physics of the umbrella–the center pole is not sturdy/reinforced enough to stabilize the umbrella considering the breadth of the umbrella cover. This means that it wobbles in the wind, and if you tilt it slightly in the wrong direction, the wind will absolutely turn it inside out. Facing it against stronger 15-20 mph winds means the wind will basically fold the umbrella for you, so you will be walking against the wind with a folded umbrella around your face. Not sure that the wind breaking flaps actually do anything to help against the wind.
Amazon Customer –
This is a big (when opened; otherwise very compact), sturdy, and great quality product. It dries really quick and has a button to open and close the umbrella. Also, I like the wooden handle–premium finish and hence an elegant look. All that said, this product deserve 5 stars. Nonetheless, one other thing that compelled me to rate this 5 stars is customer service. This seller is very serious about consumer satisfaction–I have not seen any other seller with so much commitment. I was facing a little problem with the umbrella and asked the seller about it. With my complete surprise, the seller sent me a new one.

Great sized umbrella that’s vented to let the wind pass through, yet small enough to carry in my backpack. Perfect!

Summary: I bought both the EEZ-Y Compact Travel Umbrella and Crown Coast Umbrella. After comparing them both I am returning the EEZ-Y from personal preference though make no mistake there is nothing wrong with it.Pro:Definitely large enough to fit two people underVery sturdy, the Crown isn’t as sturdy in the center piece that when you spin the handle the top piece will then follow, but the EEZ-Y when spun will spin all together which I find makes it sturdySlight Cons:It’s heavier than the Crown at the base which is a plus or con but that depends on preference. A heavier base might make it more sturdy in higher winds, but I haven’t tested it in high winds yet eitherThe button requires a bit more pressure than the Crown to automatically closeConclusion: I don’t use umbrellas often, so I’m not really requiring something heavy duty making the slight heaviness take this umbrella out of consideration. Unless i’m carrying my laptop in hand I won’t take the umbrella out anyways. I’ve tried this in the rain and it’s worked perfectly the vents make way for the air and the fabric repelled the rain droplets perfectly fine as an umbrella should. When I turned it inside out it was a bit difficult to reverse it back, so i’m not sure if that’s a pro or con. There’s obviously no problem with the umbrella itself, but it just goes by personal preference for me.

Perfect compact umbrella for traveling. Love the bright yellow color! Easy opening and closing for the quick showers in Ireland!

I have only had my umbrella for a few days, but so far it works great! I travel quite a bit and am on the road more than 50% of the time. Because I travel so much a very compact umbrella is important to me. The EEZ-Y is lightweight and compact. It fits in my backpack, or my suitcase, without taking up too much room.A golf umbrella is really good for providing a large footprint and keeping the rain off of you, but they aren’t exactly small and don’t pack well. The footprint of the EEZ-Y is significantly smaller comparatively, but it’s perfect for walking the crowded streets of NYC when it’s raining without hitting all of the other umbrellas on the sidewalk. You might be able to squeeze two people under it as long as you both don’t mind getting a little wet, and you really like each other. Otherwise, for me, it’s just about perfect.I read several reviews where people complained that they could only get a few fingers on the handle. It is definitely a small, nubby handle. If you have big hands, you won’t be able to get more than two or three fingers on it. I have fairly normal-sized hands and I can grip it with my thumb and three fingers no problem. The grip is also rubbery and provides plenty of leverage and grip to stabilize the umbrella. However, if you want a larger grip you may want to look at a different sized umbrella. Again, I was going for something that is compact.The one-touch button for opening and closing the umbrella works just fine. Keep in mind that when you close the umbrella that it doesn’t fold all the way back down. The button will close the canopy, and then you must manually collapse the umbrella. This is under tension, but unless you have problems with arthritis or some other physical disability this shouldn’t be an issue. You could even push it into the floor if it was too difficult, but I don’t find it to be an issue.I also have been amazed at EEZ-Y’s customer service! When I registered my umbrella I made a note that I thought the color was a bit off, and that the grey looked a bit too green. EEZ-Y promptly arranged to have the umbrella replaced with a different color – without me asking! They have been extremely polite and responsive to emails throughout the process. Top notch customer service!Other than the grey color being slightly off I have yet to find any faults with the construction, materials, or operation of the umbrella.So far, I am really enjoying the umbrella and the service offered by EEZ-Y. I would definitely recommend this to someone!

It does open wide and is about a foot long closed. It is bigger than the usual one person umbrella. It will cover two people in normal rain. Will update after using it.

Love the umbrella. Disregard previous bad review. You have to push the button, not open it by hand.

For almost 30 years I carried a Brookstone brand umbrella. It was built like a tank but was light and folded to 18″ in spite of having a 56 inch arc. Recently I backed my golf cart over it and, because Brookstone is a shell of itself, I couldn’t replace the umbrella. After an incredible amount of searching, I found this umbrella. It is almost as big as my Brookstone and folds to under 16″. It seems to be almost as sturdy as the Brookstone and it opens and closes at the push of a button. It is very nice-looking with its wooden handle and blue fabric. I tried it with wind gusts and it hasn’t inverted and I like the water repellency. My old umbrella would soak up water like a sponge and take several hours to dry. This one is dry in less than an hour. I also like the double folding that makes it easier to hold above my car door to open and to close.Pros: – size, both open and closed – attractive looking – seeming to resist wind – the cover is very nice with its zipperCons: – The handle looks good but is too slippery (rubber would be better) – It is a little heavier than the umbrella it replaced – it is “fatter” than my last umbrella and much harder to strap closed
Tommy W. –
This seems to be a well made umbrella. Very heavy compared to some of the new composite frame umbrellas on the marker, this is ok for me. Heavy makes me feel like it is sturdy. The overall look of the umbrella is masculine with the wood handle. The split design helps resist flipping inside out in the wind. Easy to open and close. I highly recommend this umbrella.
klw –
Can’t comment on longevity yet but seems very well made and sturdy. However it’s super heavy! Probably 3x the weight of my old umbrella of the same open size. About 1” longer when collapsed too. Would definitely affect you carrying around a lot or in a bag it’s going to weigh you down some. Seems silly, but that was my first “oh wow” impression. It’s one I’ll probably leave in the car for use on a short jaunt in somewhere but maybe not carry 1/2 mile from work parking lot to my office on a cloudy day. Weights more then my laptop I think.
Jay Foo –
This umbrella is fairly great for everyday use. Big and spacious beneath it. It holds up well during windy conditions, and rainy conditions. One of its ribs broke recently, and the umbrella is not able to hold up well during rainy days.The steel frame of this umbrella is also not stainless steel. The rust came on after folding up the umbrella and packed in its little pouch. The rust was only found after one night of being packed while being wet.

It’s sturdy, it’s solid, it’s LARGE, it looks amazing. Why 4 stars? Because that handle loop is super tiny, made for a small lady or for a child. I have a large hand and I can’t really put it through unfortunately. Have to have it hanging on my fingers instead. Other than that – this umbrella is simply amazing, so much better than everything I had before.

These are some beautiful looking umbrellas – we bought several!!! Tremendous coverage in the rain or sun. Easy opening and solid closing mechanism. Worth the money!
Julie Garrison –
It’s a little heavy which means it will probably last longer, just heavier than my last umbrella.
leear –
This umbrella is larger in size compared to most other folding ones. And it has ventilated double canopy so I thought this would be perfect for windy weather in Chicago. However, at the center of the umbrella where the canopy and shaft joins, it started to rust. I think there was a small leak that was coming through. I contacted the company and they first gave me an instruction to tighten the joining area. But when i checked, everything was tight and there was nothing to adjust. I let them know and they shipped me a new one.pros: larger size compared to other folding onescons: heavier, not as sturdy (compared to long shafted larger umbrellas)

I live in Tacoma, Wa and ride the commuter train. It can be quite windy and this umbrella is truly sturdy and large enough I actually stay dry. I’ve been in extreme wind and it has never even threatened to flip! Very well designed and I love it!!

Great umbrella started off fine. Noticed lately that it no longer holds its taught shape and started to sag a bit. A bit more flimsy and loose. The velcro didn’t last a week during rainy season when I had to keep closing it and packing it away as I got on a train. NO lifetime warranty although it was guaranteed. Even though I let the umbrella dry, it still managed to mildew/rust a bit.

The umbrella is large and deploys and retracts by touching a button. It has a look of being more expensive. It opens and does well to protect me and my rolling briefcase. I have been able to carry it inside my briefcase when it is not raining. This umbrella is perfect for me, and it is what I was looking for. Thank you.

Perfect size to use while holding a child from the car to store. Easy push button to open and close. Large, sturdy wood handle to hold. I live in FL where it rains almost every afternoon so I’ve used this umbrella a lot, it’s great! I like that it folds to be compact, it fits under my car’s seat and in my tote bag while out. The wrist holder is not big enough to fit a hand through though. However this is the best compact “golf” umbrella I’ve owned.
Amazon Customer –
I’ve had this umbrella for about a year, used it maybe once every couple of months. I really like the handle, has a nice feel and look to it. What I don’t like is the button placement for the umbrella, I’ve accidentally closed it a few times because the button is directly on the handle portion so if you grip the umbrella too tightly you risk closing it.Today my umbrella broke…. it’s a rather windy day and my umbrella popped inside out a few times. Every time it inverted it was harder to close until finally I couldn’t close it anymore. I struggled for a good 5 minutes trying to close it or even pull it back open again, but some homeless people laughed at me struggling with my umbrella until I finally gave in and shoved into a nearby trashcan.All in all I am going to look for a sturdier umbrella. The automatic open and close function really wasn’t that impressive. 3/5 rating.
HH –
It works well. thanks.
T.A. Fisher –
Haven’t had a chance to use this out in the rain yet or in the sun. But the size is indeed what I was looking for as it will fit into the very small side pocket of my purse as my emergency umbrella (for when I forget to check the weather and get caught in the rain). Opens really well and do mind the morning they give you about how fast it opens. Close as easily as well. The design mirrors what I have in my dustbuster umbrellas so it does look like it will deal with wind well. I think I can also use it in the sun, which will be a nice secondary use for it.

Update: CS took care of me by being responsive and promptly sending a replacement. I hope the replacement will last far longer and be made of better quality.I bought this umbrella less than a year ago and one of the supporting metals just broke 15 mins ago.Obviously, I am disappointed as one would expect 20 bucks something umbrella to last more than a year. While it lasted, it seemed sturdy as it has nice weigh to it but it didn’t last.Trying to get a replacement under their lifetime warranty but they have no website or exchange option being no longer there from Amazon, I’m puzzled what good lifetime warranty is for if I cannot reach the maker/seller.

Great product at what i think is a reasonable price for quality.

This umbrella is very useful — small enough to be easily stowed away and large enough to offer protection to a grown man. The button opener is very good (but I have had stronger and more robust ones in the past).It’s sturdy, but clearly not completely robust… I expect to replace it periodically (as I did with the Brookstone product that I carried for many years)… its convenience clearly outweighs its limits…Highly recommended with that qualification.

I have been looking for a good compact umbrella with wide coverage and venting for many years that can stand up to the weather.This is not it.Pros:• It has wide coverage and is compact• Presents well, nice design and feel… That’s it unless being water proof as it should be counts as a pro, but I don’t think they get points for just being an umbrella.Cons:. This is where it shines…• First time using it was in a standard windy day in NYC, as soon as the wind got up underneath, this thing flipped inside with less resistance than a $5 Duane Reade generic umbrella. To exaggerate slightly I think a mouse fart could flip this inside out. I understand the instructions say to keep it facing wind, but the vents should help if that can’t always be done. After the failure I tested inside, if you pull down or back fast enough you don’t even need wind.In short this umbrella is for no wind days where rain is falling straight down only.• adding further to it’s failings, the handle rattles slightly and feels poorly attached to the rod.• small handle for some handsI would not buy this umbrella and will be seeking a return. It needs a lot more support and I would sacrifice some of it’s compact size to gain the sturdiness.

I really like my new umbrella. It is pretty sturdy and perfect for travel. It fold up easily and blocks the sun pretty well. Good quality and priced umbrella!

Great umbrella. Bought for stocking stuffers too

Very durable umbrella I bought it for someone. I want to buy more for my self and my parents.

Big open, small closed so it’s easy to store. Opens ok with the push of a button and folds half way with a second push. Then you push it down by hand. It comes with a cover, which you may as well throw away when you first take it off, because you will never use it again. Goo umbrella at a good price

This umbrella is great because while it is portable, it also open up wide to provide enough shade against rain coming down sideways. I’m not sure why other umbrellas only cover your head but this keeps me and my backpack covered during my commute so I don’t end up at work with my pants drenched. The auto open/close feature is a bonus. The handle is sturdy wood and a good size of a guy’s hand (not dinky like others). The sleeve is also re-usable because it has a zipper unlike others that you take off and then you can never get the umbrella back in the sleeve again. Hopefully this umbrella lasts!

Small umbrella but large enough size for yourself and easy for travel and everyday use rain or shine.

Poor quality umbrella broke first time my son used at his golf tournament. Gust of wind bent the shaft of the umbrella and would no longer stay open or close. However – upon seeing our original review and situation, seller reached out to us immediately and shipped a replacement umbrella. Great customer service and second umbrella works like a charm.
DougB Clev –
Larger than most, also a bit heavier, but worth the extra size in substantial rain.Spring loaded action makes opening easy. Bit harder to close all of the way. Have not used in heavy wind so no comment there.Would buy again.
Vaness –
Very sturdy, excellent coverage, AND perfect weight!!!!!!!
Susan Pool –
With all the rain we had last week l sure was glad l had received my new umbrella. It is made of a thicker material than my previous umbrellas and seems to be very sturdy. I have misplaced many umbrellas and hope this bright yellow one will help me keep track of its whereabouts

It’s very sturdy

It doesn’t rain often in Texas, but when it does it pours. Today is July 4th 2018 and it started raining during the fireworks show. Naturally, I decided to use my Lejorain umbrella. I pressed the button to deploy the umbrella and instead of opening, it seperated from the rod and went flying down the bleachers hitting a bystander in the head. See attached photo of umbrella.I Purchased the Lejorain in February 2018, but opened and used it for the first time today. Unfortunately, I have exceeded the Amazon return window and I am now stuck with a broken umbrella.The umbrella does looks nice, but I can not recommend due to poor build quality. Save your money and look elsewhere.**Update***The seller contacted me to provide a replacement umbrella. Fit and finish appear to be better than the previous one I purchased, but I’m unable to comment on performance or long term use. Updating to 3 stars.

Haven’t had much use for this yet. Southern California’s rainy season is just ready to start but the thing is built like a tank. My only complaints are that it is a bit heavy and it is hard to get back into the protective sleeve. I had a ShedRain for years that I really liked but recently lost. The reviews seemed to show that ShedRain’s quality has slipped. This bumbershut has very high ratings and deserves them.

went with yellow to be seen while walking in light rain. a big plus is no one will take it by mistake.black ones people think are theirs and don’t figure that out until they are far enough away to not bother switching back. I’ve lost a lot of umbrellas at work this way. oddly, my “new” umbrella they leave is typically not so good.also, I don’t think someone would take a yellow umbrella – it stands out.yes, I would buy another one… some other color someone won’t want. Good luck!

SERIOUSLY GUYS.. don’t know why I had to go through 40 other sub-par umbrellas to find this.I seriously spent some time researching on finding an umbrella that satisfies a few requirements.1) Big coverage2) Solid quality3) fits in my backpackBasically—the biggest umbrella that has a mechanism collapses into a size that fits inside my backpack—all while having a wind screen, solid material, and great built quality.This is literally the only backpack on Amazon that fits all of that.Bonus—The handle is wood.If you found this, good job. Other umbrellas are weirdly sorted before this and I had to go through pages to find this.This is literally the only review I’ve ever made. I’m pretty sure. I think you can search my profile to make sure.

I bought two of these umbrellas, each for my son and I. I received my order April 11, 2022 Today’s date is Ju e 19, 2022 and BOTH umbrellas have proven to NOT be windproof and during a strong storm we had in Philly caused the ribs in my umbrella to break. I’m mad I can’t return it now.

Having got caught in a Parisian thunderstorm, I was so relieved when this device took strong wind gusts like they didn’t even happenRECOMMEND

I bought the EEZ-Y collapsible umbrella for my girlfriend for her birthday, and this is what she had to say about it:”Andrew bought the umbrella for me as a gift. I received it in good condition, and I really like it so far! One of my favorite features is that is stands up against strong wind gusts (my old one would turn itself inside out whenever wind hit). I also like the auto open/close feature, with the ergonomically shaped handle that is easy to hold. The only thing I don’t like is the effort it takes to push the umbrella back to the closed position, it usually takes me a couple tries before I can get it down and snapped in place.”She told EEZ-Y this and they responded with:”The umbrella is constructed with a high-quality spring that allows it to pop open when engaging the automatic push button, therefore, it does require a good push to compress the spring. We apologize that it is more difficult than you’d like. The spring should loosen up in time.To correctly close the umbrella, take the palm of your hand and place it on the top of the umbrella, on the small circular plastic cap at the top. Push both ends toward the center until you hear a click sound. Please don’t close the umbrella by grabbing the ribs.”
Kevin T. –
Works smoothly and opens/closes with ease. There is a vent to allow wind to pass through and I like the domed structure for shedding rain. Taking these to Germany.

After using a few times is already broken.Bad quality don’t buy!UPDATE!!This number was given to me by costumer service. This is the number that Amazon has for them. It is a number for paint and auto parts! If I could give them a ZERO I would.Update again! I decided to buy another umbrella and give the company the benefit of the doubt. On the first downpour we had here the umbrella broke becoming useless. Four ribs broke and the umbrella turned inside out snapping a couple of other ribs. Rain was coming down hard and my boots took in lots of water damaging them. I am extremely upset about this. For the price of this umbrella I can go but 3 at the local store.You can’t say I didn’t warned you. Don’t believe all the positive reviews. These people either have not used the umbrella enough or they have been bought somehow. Do not buy!!

This is absolutely the best umbrella I’ve ever owned. When closed it’s compact and easy to fit in a bag/purse; when opened it can easily cover two people. The framework is much stronger than I expected. Love the open/close button!!!! Getting in and out of car with it is a breeze. The cover is also very well made and has a convenient zipper to make it easier to put it on. I love that there is a double canopy to let the wind through w/o turning the umbrella inside out. In the event that it does turn inside out you simply push the button and the umbrella retracts/closes immediately. (Tried it and it works without breaking!!!!!) Seriously though, buy this umbrella.

I had it for about a year and half. Its checks off boxes but the metal frame starts to rust and stain the fabric. Looks gross.

I’ve had this umbrella in my bookbag for the longest. I loved the handle because it looked very quality. However, the real test came on a rainy day. The umbrella worked fine until it was time to put it away in order to get on the bus. It just wouldn’t close. I pressed the close button over and over again, but nothing happened. So in order for me to get in the bus, I decided to pull it close. The rod bent like nobody’s business. So I had to throw away the thing since people were already laughing at me trying to close an umbrella so I can get on the bus. Got to my stop and had to walk home in the pouring rain without an umbrella. I couldn’t get 1 complete use of the umbrella. Very disappointed.Update (08/04/2018)After leaving my review, i was contracted by the company and they explained to me that the umbrella wasn’t designed to close manually.They decided to send me another. It was raining heavily when it arrived and i decided to use the replacement umbrella. It worked beautifully. I like the Umbrella because it fits well in my bag and when i use it, it’s much bigger than regular pocket sized umbrellas.Yes, the issue i had was a user error and not the product itself. I intend to buy another one shortly.

Concerned about prolonged use but thus far has been great. The handle can be a bit uncomfortable but otherwise, solid
Purchaser –
It’s compact and fits in my book bag great. Great coverage. I am short and have arthritis so I have to watch how I hold it because if the wind sometimes but it has terrific coverage. I never get wet

I’ve never used an umbrella this large, so I have nothing to compare it to, but my first impression is that it’s VERY HEAVY. My arm and wrist started getting tired after using it for just a short while (I’m an adult woman with average strength). And although the umbrella collapses by just pressing the button, you need to push the handle down yourself and it takes a bit of strength (I have to hold one end against my stomach and use both hands to push it in).That being said, it’s a pretty good umbrella. The large size is great, but takes a bit of getting used to. It’s sometimes tricky not bumping into things and it takes up quite a bit of floor space when leaving it open to dry out (but that would be the case with any large size umbrella). The push button works great for quickly popping the umbrella open. While the umbrella seems pretty strong, it’s definitely not windproof. We had mildly high winds today and it flipped on me twice. It works the way an umbrella should, but if I had to do it again, I might try to find something lighter.
Brad G –
I bought this umbrella to combat the rainy season where I live. The first rain of the season hit and as soon as I opened the umbrella, a slight gust of wind inverted the canopy and that was it. Five seconds tops! There is a string supported mechanism inside that keep the canopy open. This string is now hanging from the runner and the shaft is curved like a banana. I’m highly disappointed, as this was a really good looking umbrella and just the right size.

I have only had to use this for minor rain until this past Saturday where we had forty mile per hour wind and driving rain. I needed both a rain coat and this. Now, I just walked across a large parking lot first to the post office and then to get a chai tea and it held up even when I had that awkward experience of no hands for a minute or two.A tip, though, I have this habit of leaving the umbrella extended when I put it in my passenger seat. The button to have the umbrella be an umbrella doesn’t seem to work then. I just have to remember to un extend the umbrella when I get in the car.Also, I got the white one with black polka dots, its so pretty.
Brandie Hayes –
I really love that this is a larger umbrella that still folds. It’s size does an awesome job at keeping the rain off of me and my backpack. I also love that it comes with an umbrella sleeve, which makes tucking the umbrella in a sidepocket of my backpack very convenient, instead of having to hold it in my hand and worry about getting myself or my items wet when I’m finished using the umbrella. It’s got a nice strong wooden handle and the open/close button allows the umbrella to easily open and close. I got the yellow umbrella, and really love how bright and colorful it is, despite the gloomy weather. Lifts my spirits a bit. It’s the little things…I’ve used the umbrella in torrential rains and it’s protected me well. No complaints with quality or performance. My one fault is that I initially didn’t always remember to use up/down button and tried to close the umbrella by manually pulling down the cover while the umbrella was open, (like I’m used to with my older umbrellas). It caused some of the spokes of the umbrella to bend, making it harder to open and close the umbrella. However, these umbrellas come with EXCELLENT warranty and customer service. I was able to send an email directly to the company and was sent a new umbrella immediately. I’m one very satisfied customer!

I originally bought two of these umbrellas about a year ago. I wanted to purchase a couple of good, durable wind proof umbrellas when I originally made the purchase. One has had no problems at all, the other came apart after about a year, with the stem separating from the main part of the umbrella, when I activated the “retract” button. I contacted the manufacturer and told them about the problem and they replaced the umbrella after I submitted order ID information, a description of the problem and a picture of the problem. I still feel like this is a quality umbrella, even though one suffered a failure. I am not concerned about the replacement, because I understand that sometimes things can get past quality control. They are very nice umbrellas, and seem to be well constructed, and I expect them to last a long time, and I recommend them, especially since the manufacturer stands behind their product. Thank you Lejorain for a good customer service experience, and a good product.
Amazon Customer –
I live in an area with very limitd precipitation, so in the two years since purchase the umbrella has been use less than a dozen times. Two of the spines snapped yesterday as it was being opened. Save your money and forego this item.

I changed my review since I got response from the company. As I stated previously I like everything about this umbrella. It is very large and very well made. Handle is really nice with indents for the fingers. It opens and closes fine and storage sleeve has nice plastic zipper making it easier to slide in. It also appears that company responds to email (with small delay caused by Chinese Spring Festival).

Replacement for when I’m broke and goes with me everywhere because I travel for a living seems to be very durable. Have not tested the wind durability yet but I’m sure I will.
Steve McDowell –
This is my second EEZY traveling umbrella, and I absolutely love them. I used to buy those cheap retail store umbrellas that would last one windy storm before breaking. My first EEZY Travelling Umbrella lasted 2-3 years, and I was so impressed that I decided to pay for another one rather than looking into the warranty available. I feel like I definitely got my money’s worth.

Good construction and product material. Reasonably priced. Love the vibrant pink. Wanted a “stand out” color in order for people to see me in heavy rains and winds. Safety color. Although I haven’t used it yet, I’m sure it will perform to my expectations.

Awesome I’m not a big umbrella guy but this thing is great i got it cuz my mom is 90yrs old and can’t run so we get under and just stroll stay nice and dry ty

I’m updating my review as the company contacted me and is sending a replacement umbrella. They were very interested in understanding what happened to try to improve. I’m impressed by their customer service and hope the replacement umbrella holds up longer.I’ve had this umbrella less than a year and have probably used it 10 times. Today, when opening it, the top flew off the handle and it’s no longer usable. I saw at least one other review with the same problem. The umbrella provides good coverage and I was liking it quite a bit until it fell apart. I expected it to last more than 10 uses. Very disappointed.
Clark Brewer –
Easy to handle & when deployed provides excellent coverage

This is a nice sturdy umbrella. It is a decent size for coverage but folds up small.
J. Shin –
This is an excellent, if a bit small-ish (described “Compact”, after all) umbrella ideal for those who commute or carry a purse. After years of going thru cheap ones sold at a pharmacy, I finally looked for something better and found this back in Spring ’15. As described here, it is quite compact and folds down to a slim form roughly a foot long. One drawback of this design is that you push the button to both open and close the umbrella; I am no engineer but each time this “clicks” it seems to place stress on the integrity of the structure. That said, it works well and should last at least a year or two so long as you take basic care like trying to avoid severe wind on your back. My umbrella survived two years and probably ~100 days of use under varying environments including a few strong windy days. Then I finally caught a swirl that broke some of the canopy frame.And this is where this earned the fifth star: Usually I’d have thrown it out but –almost on a whim– decided to test EEZ-Y’s “LIFETIME GUARANTEE.” The support staff replied immediately and after a quick email exchange (including a couple photos of the broken parts) a brand new umbrella was delivered in the same week. I am satisfied with the purchase and even more impressed that the company stands by their promise.tl;dr – Good compact umbrella with fantastic customer support. Highly recommended.

This umbrella just broke on me. Pushed the button and the whole mechanism popped out. The button no longer works and the umbrella does not stay open. Even before when the umbrella was working it was very difficult to close it all the way. Needless to say will not be purchasing again.*** UPDATE ***I wanted to update this review with the response from the product manufacturer. They contacted me to offer a replacement umbrella. I am impressed with that level of service. I have received the new umbrella and will update this review again after I have a chance to use it a few times.** UPDATE #2 **I have used the replacement umbrella several times in a couple of New York winter storms and I’m happy to report that the umbrella has so far performed admirably. I’m hoping my previous experience was just a one-off issue. I do really like the combination of the size of this umbrella with the auto open feature and the ergonomic handle.

I gave it to my son for school and he said the quality is not good and flimsy in the wind.
Karindave –
This umbrella is great! We used it for a Susan G. Koman Walk/run for the cure. It was super compact and easy to carry when folded. And covered all of us when opened. We have quite a few relatives and colleagues that golf and I think they are going to be pleasantly surprised when they are given these as gifts for the holidays!
AVL –
After losing one umbrella too many to the weather, I gave these a try, and now I own three, one for my home, one for the car, and one for the office. The first I bought lasted five years in all kinds of East Coast storms, though I lost it during my latest move. Hope the two new ones last me many years to come.
Mar –
I like that it is easy to open and close. Important when getting into car during rain storm

I love the fact that I can open and close the umbrella with the same switch.
