Newsight 16-Rib Auto Open Stick Umbrella - Windproof Dual Fiberglass Ribs, Waterproof Seamless Canopy, High-Density 230T Pongee, Rubberized J Handle, Soft End, Black Umbrellas

Unlike most umbrellas, when you hit the button it gently opens into a large coverage umbrella. The handle is comfortable, and it comes with a handy slide-on cover that has a sling handle to store it. The segments have some long sections and some smaller scalloped pieces on the outer edge, giving it a unique look. The mechanism works very smoothly when opening and closing it.

Coincidentally this umbrella arrived on a rainy and windy day, used it anyway because of the strength it touted -it didn’t disappoint. You can tell it is made better than anything you can buy at a local department store. It’s sturdier than my $50 golf umbrella made to handle a breeze.

This item came in the mail yesterday - just as it began to rain - so the timing is excellent! The fabric is a tight weave, with no seams, and the edges are bound with a narrow strip of slightly heavier fabric, instead of simply being hemmed. The two-rib design also makes it sturdier without adding any weight. Also - the sleeve with the carrying-strap is another nice touch.

Sturdy seamless umbrella that holds up well in the wind and rain. Large and durable, the material feels and looks of good quality. Has a button on the bottom to push for easy opening. With the button theres no struggling to open the umbrella which I found to be a convenient time saving feature. Construction and color are nice. Comes with a bag to store it in. Overall, one of the better umbrellas on the market. Five stars.

This umbrella has worked well. For the time that I have had it there have not been any issues. It has a coating on it that causes water to bead which helps it dry quickly so it does not form a puddle inside. I only have two complaints but they are buyer specific. First is that the umbrella is too short to act like a cane (not that I would recommend putting full body weight on it.) Second is that the hook curves in too much. Other than those two things it is a good umbrella that does its job.

The umbrella is nice. I like how the ribs are integrated and opens/closes smoothly. Did not use too many times, but at some point, we lost the rubber tip. What is exposed is an open metal tip that would leak water. Not sure how to get a replacement for the rubber tip?

A few years ago, there was a story on NPR about the umbrella repairmen of Paris; a broken umbrella gets repaired and restored, not tossed in the trash like they do here. Where here is the umbrella youll want to get repaired if anything ever happens to it! This umbrella is absolutely gorgeous! A beautiful blue cloth material, cut like a flower on top of the most elegantly opening umbrella you will ever own. Youll feel magical when you open this umbrella and feel like a raindrop fairy! Perfect gift for someone who will appreciate the artistry and beauty of this special umbrella.

I havent needed to use the umbrella yet, we are having a drought. It looks very well made and is wonderful to hold and opens with a button too, so I love it so far. I will update this if we ever get rain again.

Here in Chicago, we can get pretty gusty rain. Its important to have an umbrella that is vented so that the wind flows through and doesnt damage the umbrella (much), while still protecting the user from the rain. This one is pretty stylish. The blue is a good rain blue, and the ribbed structure is unique, one design I havent seen before. The fabric doesnt seem like its stitched very well, but shockingly its been holding up for months around here.

I am happy that purchased this umbrella!
