It's strong, opens and closes with a switch and relatively compact for carrying in a bag or backpack. When closing, it collapses the umbrella and you still have to collapse the center pole, but it works easily and seems like it will last. I haven't used it during a strong wind yet, but it's big enough for me and my stuff when I have to walk in the rain to my car or get inside. Very good product. Review: The best umbrella - I had this umbrella for about a year. I live in an area where it rains a lot and loved this umbrella for it's size, easy of use and quick drying. I had noticed that the velcro closure was not working anymore from wear. Then we had a windy day with strong gusts and one of the ribs broke. I saw they have a lifetime replacement so I reached out to the company. They were extremely courteous, only asked for photos and sent out a replacement FAST. After receiving my new umbrella I see they updated the velcro closure, it is much more sturdy. I also have the peace of mind now knowing I can always just get it replaced. In today's world you can't beat buying any product for a reasonable price and getting a quality item with a lifetime warranty like this. Great umbrella by a superb company. ## Features - AWARD-WINNING WINDPROOF DESIGN: Engineered to outperform ordinary umbrellas, this compact folding umbrella withstands extreme conditions with reinforced fiberglass ribs, a vented canopy, and strong fabric.

Upper Echelon Products would not honor their Lifetime Warranty on our umbrella, saying that Amazon sold it to us through a reseller (this exception was not stated anywhere on the product page that clearly promoted the warranty). Upper Echelon Products recommended we contact the seller for help, but Amazon advised us that the seller had since left the platform. Amazon, in turn, would not honor the warranty or offer consideration. **Q: How long have you had this umbrella for? Does it still work as well as when you first used it?** A: I got my Umbrella June 13th, so I have had it for about 2 1/2 months now. I live in Florida and we are in the middle of rainy season, so I have had MANY opportunity's to use it! I REALLY like this Umbrella! So happy that I got it! It works exactly the same as the day I got it! Its even made it through the use of my younger kids! They love pressing the button and jump at the chance to be allowed to use it when getting out of the car in the rain! HA! **Q: Is this the repel umbrella that was featured on good morning america?** A: Yes, Repel Easy Touch was featured as the #1 umbrella on Good Morning America. The Wirecutter, an independent third-party, spent 50+ hours during four rounds of testing 33 different umbrellas. Repel surpassed the competition and was the featured umbrella. Check out this video to see how easy it is to open & close this umbrella. **Q: What is the weight of the umbrella?** A: The Repel Easy Touch Umbrella weights 14.5 ounces. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Strong, durable and works as advertised. *by D***O on June 26, 2026* This is a solid umbrella that works well.
