Travel Umbrella Windproof Vented Double Canopy with Teflon Coating - Portable Compact Foldable Lightweight Design and High Wind Resistance

This is a very well made strong umbrella but is slightly heavy. Opening and closing smooth operation. It looks good and does its job of keeping you dry as it a good size.

This is the third umbrella of this product line I've bought. Only because lost mine after three years of use in London. (So two for myself, one for the missus). It's sturdier that it looks and is of good quality,. Offfers a great value for money. Easy to open and close.

This is mostly a great umbrella. It is a lovely cheerful canary yellow and provides excellent coverage from rain. I have taken it out in very windy weather and so far it has resisted every gust. The spring action means it opens quickly and effortlessly (although make sure no-one is standing in its path!) and the cover has a nice velcro seal that makes it easy to put on quickly over a wet umbrella (other umbrellas I have had have been very hard to get back into their covers; no problems with this one). So far, so good. So why only four stars? Two small gripes. The first is that the umbrella is a little heavier than I was expecting, and is a bit too big to fit in a handbag. That may be an acceptable trade-off for an umbrella that is strong and robust. But the second gripe is bigger, and one that over reviewers have also noted - the umbrella is very hard to fold down. You have to push it really quite forcefully, and at a difficult angle, to get the spring mechanism to lock into place. One time I thought I had it but not quite, and it sprung back up, sending the base of the umbrella plunging into my stomach, which really winded me. Without this design flaw I would have given it five stars.

I’d been researching quote heavily in a good quality umbrella after my years of buying cheap “breaks after one windy day” ones from the likes of budget friendly Primark. Firstly, I purchased the forest green colour which looks great, rich green and looks premium. Do note, this umbrella is more weighty and larger than your typical British handbag umbrellas but there’s a very handy clip attached to the cover that clips nicely to the hardware of my handbags. I bought this umbrella due to the typical dreary rain all day, all week weather predicted in Scotland for a joint birthday holiday trip. The umbrella did not disappoint and it covered me (a plus size lady) confidently. I would say it would be a push to cover two persons, perhaps it can with the expectation you may get dropped on the edges. The automatic open mechanism works well but as others suggested, it does take a thorough push to “reload” the spring. My tip is, after pressing the button to close the umbrella, physically drive the umbrella to the ground until the pole reduces in length and you hear the audible “click”. The handle of the umbrella felt practically and ergonically designed for the hand to grab onto. I would highly recommend this umbrella to anyone who’s after a high quality umbrella that offers a spring loaded open and close mechanism.

Excellent product. Arrived quickly and is exactly as I wanted. There is a clip which stops you loosing the cover and it is windproof which I hadn't realised so better than I expected

I have literally just opened the pack from Amazon containing my umbrella. Immediate reaction was it looked sturdy then I noticed that the cover was connected to the wrist loop by a strap and clasp. Not going to lose this one but it is removable if you want to. Took off the cover and the wow came when I opened it. Such a good size compared with most brollies I have had. Easy to close, firm but feels so solid. Put the cover back on, no struggle to wind up the brolley small enough so that there is a hope of putting it on., the cover has a plaket and is quite roomy.so easy easy to get on. Obviously haven't used it yet so must wait and see how that goes but so far can't find a fault. PS love the colour , I chose yellow.

This brollie is a beautiful colour (I chose the red). It does have an all-round flap which allows the wind to pass through without inverting the umbrella. It is larger & heavier than most but that makes it feel quite sturdy. I am delighted thus far!

I like that it is light weight and can easily be carried in a work bag or a backpack. So far I have used it in windy conditions and has withstood not flipping over with a bit of manoeuvring so that the wind blows from the top side but never under the canopy of the umbrella. Also, the automatic opening and closing mechanism has been working fine. It does nit need a lot of force to close as well. I just hope it last, as from experience with other automatic umbrellas, it is the automatic mechanism that breaks first than other parts of the umbrella. I also like the handle, not to big and not too small either, just a good size to hold the umbrella firmly without needing extra effort - either for ladies’ or gentlemen’s hand size. I would have liked the material used for the umbrella canopy itself to be a bit thicker, but I also appreciate the downside of that is, it will become heavier. Also, as a large bloke (wearing XL size clothes), I would have liked the diameter of the umbrella to be a bit wider. But then again, it maybe just a preference as I am on the heavier side, and majority of your customers will be of average built. I just notice that when I used it in heavier rain, my head is totally dry but my backpack and from the legs down, I was wet.
