Review on Windproof Reverse Umbrella For Women With UV Protection, Inverted C-Shaped Handle - Sharpty by Nadia Miller

The second one I received has been very reliable so far, it opens smoothly and always clicks into place properly. As of yet it hasn't yielded to any strong winds, either. It lasted through a rainy month with no issues. This being said, the first one I received failed after only 4 or 5 openings. The umbrella got stuck in the open position. It would not respond to its button being depressed, and even an extra person pushing down on the umbrella while I held the button and pulled did not close it. It was replaced hassle free, though, so all is well. The first one had to be thrown out, as there is no way to ship or store an open umbrella.As far as operation goes, it is incredibly convenient, being able to open the umbrella between a car door is extremely handy, and it does hold the wetness inside if you stand it on it's handle when you bring it inside; just as well, you can pour it off into the sink before you store it.If you have good luck, the first one you receive may be like the second one I received. I would advise opening and closing the umbrella, and otherwise using it a large amount when you first receive it, so you find any issues before amazon's return window closed.
