Review on ☂️ Compact Travel Windproof Umbrella for Convenient Folding by Laura Thomas

Revainrating 1 out of 5

No windbreak

I bought this umbrella because it was larger and claimed to be windproof compared to my old one. the biggest joke The first reasonably decent gust of wind this umbrella encountered would instantly flip it over and bend the shaft over the handle. After struggling to be flipped, Shit hit the fan. The glider could no longer be retracted (because the base was now bent a good 30 degrees). Once I managed to straighten the shaft it still wouldn't retract unless pushed hard. But once I managed to remove it completely, it wouldn't snap back in and popped out again, basically hitting me with the handle. Realizing this, I just wanted to fold it back up and throw it away, or at least send it back for a new one or my money back. Well, that didn't happen either, because all of the dome's supports were now upside down and no longer folded back into their normal position. The light got stuck in the open position, and no matter how hard I tried to reinsert the support arms and push the light down, it didn't work at all. At this point I was drenched, freezing, in pain and very, very upset with this piece of junk. So I did what anyone would do in this situation, I picked it up, broke it in half and threw it in the nearest trash can I could find. While my girlfriend watched in horror as her boyfriend went crazy over an umbrella. I've decided it's not even worth reaching into the box and sending it back and I don't care if I get a refund.

Pros

Cons
