ShedRain Vortex Automatic Compact Folding Windproof Travel Umbrella – Push Button Open & Close - Rain & Windproof Vented Double Canopy – Protect from Rain, Sun & Wind - Wind Tunnel Tested to 75 mph

I needed a compact umbrella for a trip but hesitated to buy yet another umbrella that would break after one or two uses. This one touted a special design that intrigued me and they stand behind it with a lifetime guarantee; which tells me they are confident that it will not break. It arrived super-fast and it is a sturdy, great quality umbrella. The color I bought, a wisteria-colored purple, is very nice. I did find that if you use it, then release it to come down, you can't just pop it back up without fully engaging it back into the handle first. In other words, you can't just rest it down and then raise it up again; you have to fully close it or it won't lock open. I think that may be why the reviewers that said it only worked once or twice thought it was defective. They really should make that clear, because that's what I thought at first until I figured that out.Give it a try, it's a nice umbrella. It's plenty big when in use, but not as compact or light as I had expected. Even so, I am happy with my purchase.

This is a pretty and well-made umbrella.

I like how large and sturdy this umbrella is!

It is a little heavier than I thought

Favorite umbrella! It is so strong, amazing wind resistance. So easy to open and close as well. This was a repurchase after I left my first one on the bus.

10/10 love this umbrella

Excellent quality. Very comfortable to use. Recommended for purchase.
