Compact and easy to store and carry. Review: man's umbrella for MY very occasional use - Says auto open--works fine / auto close--is not auto but manual close, to reset springs and length.push close Ad is misleading OR I just can't get the auto close feature to work ! / For man as slightly heavy from canopy size and construction. Putting it back into pouch is tight fit, so not a snap - would not want it if used OFTEN. Thought description rather made item seem like a one-handed easy operation, Anyway still to test out and figure if it somehow will AUTO-CLOSE as in ad, but seems highly unlikely. Too expensive for just auto open and manual close, unless the operation, material, and construction is as good as it appears. Due to size, slightly heavy closed or open is expected. Appears will be great in wind and rain-strong looking shaft and as compact as a reg. one. Expect will last rather long and work well, unless if frequently used. Good canopy design to protect two people. Rated 3 stars, as not tested-and misconception, I think so far, about the AUTO-CLOSE not being a real feature. I consider it top-of-the-line in general, so extra cost appears a good investment, vs. dealing with umbrellas breaking and small, but cheaper. Better than a TOTE brand, for sure. ---------------------- UPDATE UPDATE - On first use with light sprinkle and wind under 10 mph, it turned inside-out. Very surprised because of excellent construction, especially the wind resistance design at top, allowing wind to pass thru a small 2nd layer canopy cover. / Auto open button may require a few opening attempts. NOTE; Springs under good tension, so manual close requires good push./ Dry well, so no shaft rust ! / 1 star added to rating--BUY UPDATE--kept me dry few times in windy driving rain. A MUST TO OWN ! ADDING 5TH STAR for rating after using lots of times in rainy florida. UPDATE UPDATE -- NOT taking away 1 STAR for the tight fit to get this back into storage bag....mostly because I do not need an umbrella very often. UPDATE April 2014 - Carrying for "if it rains" - nice size. Cannot defend it under heavy wind really, as usually just rain with light wind....and when I use it, I'm usually on my bicycle, so holding it while steering makes keeping real dry, difficult. I do recommend it as probably one of the best, from desertcart. UPDATE Aug 2016 --owned 4 1/2 years --- Very Very seldom used as I'm retired, but sure works well when needed. ## Features - A sturdy FRP fiberglass frame and ribs, with a black electrostatic steel shaft increase wind-strength, life, and durability; All black Umbrella with Auto Open/Close Function for single-handed, hassle-free ease of use - Comfort-driven EVA cushion grip handle for a comfortable hand feel and a slip-free grip; Includes a wrist strap for convenience on-the-go, and a matching self-fabric case with snap on swivel hook so you can attach it to a belt loop, a bag, or a suitcase - Vented double canopy provides superior wind resistance and withstands any windy, stormy, or rainy conditions without inverting or breaking; Teflon coated fabric canopy is waterproof and resists damage from harsh wind, storms, and UV sunlight - Stores down to just 15 inches but opens up to a 54 inch canopy, large enough to cover two people; Convenient small storing size makes it the perfect choice for a travel umbrella.

If it's windy my left arm and my partner's right arm tends to get a little wet. (I usually hold the umbrella with my right hand.) This umbrella works brilliantly to keep me and my large backpack dry during even the heaviest of downpours, though. **Q: Does this umbrella "lock" when opened? mine seems to be bouncy/not fixed in the open position** A: Yes. I've owned two of these umbrellas, and both locked when opened with the push of the button on the handle. They stayed locked until the button was pressed again and they partially collapsed. I have to then finish pressing the umbrella to the fully-closed position, which reloads the spring mechanism. **Q: Purchased this in February, we had a windy rain storm and the spokes broke. Can it be replaced?** A: Yes - I believe it has a very good warranty. I've only used mine once, and it seemed very strong. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Singing in the rain!!! *by A***R on July 11, 2026* Nice!!! Opens and closes easy and not to big.
