Umbrellas for Rain Windproof Travel Umbrella Folding Portable Compact Umbrella with Automatic Open Close for Men and Women

This medium umbrella opens very quickly and easily by pressing the button. You press the button again to close the umbrella, but you still have to telescope the handle which is very tight. Maybe it will loosen up with more use. It feels very sturdy and well made.

The best compact umbrella. Just push the button to open or close. Throw in your bag or keep inside your car door pocket. Great quality

This umbrella is well-made and functions perfectly. Closed up, it measure about 11 inches and is very light-weight. It is portable and can fit in a normal size bag, back-pack or even a larger purse. The springs and the bars are of good quality and the canopy is well secured. The open/shut button functions well and does exactly what is stated in the description. Other thoughts: The wording wind-proof used on an umbrella has always meant to me that the canopy is made out of two separate layers/pieces that lay on top of each other with strategic gaps between them, allowing air to flow out. This is not the case for this umbrella. So be aware. Next is the size! This is a small umbrella a six foot, 190 lbs. person. If you are smaller in stature, this will be perfect for you. Last but not least, compared to other truly wind-proof umbrellas this one is over-priced for my budget.

First, the positives: I really like the compact size of this umbrella. It feels sturdy and does give you confidence that it will not be easily blown inside out by stray wind gusts (although I havent had any severe weather to test it out, yet!). It opens easily with the touch of a button and provides adequate coverage for one person. The negative, and for me its a biggie: the umbrella also collapses at the touch of the same button, and when it does, it does so in a somewhat violent manner, giving itself a good shake as it folds, depositing all of the water its collected onto nearby objects (most notably, the person holding the umbrella). If you can remember this and can adequately prepare before collapsing the umbrella, it will be fine. Otherwise, all your hard work at staying dry will be undone when you press that button to close it.

This umbrella is very sturdy and appears to be everything its described to be except for windproof. I dont see any vents or double canopy to let air flow through. It catches the wind like a standard umbrella. If I find out Im mistaken, I will be happy to change this review.

I bought this so I would have a back up umbrella to keep in the car or in my bag and it’s absolutely perfect. It’s tiny and compact, the pushbutton mechanism is forceful, and it’s lightweight. I can’t speak to longevity yet but I am happy with it.

If ever you have used a self-opening/closing travel umbrella, this will be very familiar. One button to open/collapse the canopy, and a very small footprint when closed and collapsed. The frame is lightweight and flexible, but still strong. The “wind proof” part comes from this frame - there are no special wind flaps or the like to otherwise lessen resistance.

This is a nice, compact umbrella. I havent had the opportunity to use it in a high wind situation yet. It opens smoothly and with enthusiasm. As others have said, the fabric seems a little thin. Im not sure what the fabric is, because there is no tag. I used it in a recent rain shower, and it was fine. I do think its overpriced because there are other umbrellas with better features for about 10 bucks less. But if youre looking for a serviceable umbrella, this one will fit the bill.

Good quality foldable umbrella with a nice auto-close feature. I dont see any obvious wind resistant features like I expected. Its made out of a strong nylon-type material, but I cant see any reason it wouldnt collapse if caught by a strong gust. I was surprised at how well the auto-close works on this umbrella! Push the button to pop it open, and the same button pops it close, and I do mean pop. You still have to push the top back toward the handle to collapse the shaft, and that takes some muscle. Once I close the fabric part using the button, I grasp both ends and push them together. Once you get a feel for it, this brolly is very handy. I like it, but I wouldnt trust it in a windstorm.

This is a nice, compact, pocket travel umbrella. I ordered it as I wanted a travel umbrella to stash in my backpack for an upcoming trip to Scotland. The push button works to both fully open the umbrella, as well as to partially close it. (Pushing the button when the umbrella is already open releases the tension holding the canopy fully open.) You still have to manually close it the rest of the way, which requires a fair amount of effort to fully retract and lock into place. I cant yet speak to the windproof claim, but the quality of the construction and materials seems pretty decent. The fabric is pretty standard, but it looks like it is attached to the frame fairly well, and the frame itself seems solid and not overly flimsy. I did notice an odd, mildly unpleasant plasticky odor the first time I opened the umbrella, but I am fairly sure it is just the smell of the materials used for the canopy. I am guessing that off-gassing will lessen as it is used.
