Review on ๐ŸŒ‚ Compact Windproof Umbrellas - Reinforced Construction by Christy Grizzle

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good size and comfortable mechanics

After trying (and losing) so many folding umbrellas over the years I seem to have forgotten what a heavy umbrella is. My first impression after unpacking this umbrella was that it was quite heavy and seemed sturdy. As I only use traditional umbrellas, I found the one-touch opening and closing mechanism refreshing - no more wet hair trying to get in the car. It took me a while to get used to the closing motion as the spring is quite strong, but it was easy once I found out that either endpoint could be used. but folded only 12 inches. Two people can easily fit under it, and the handle is strong and comfortable. One thing I felt weird about was that the stock rebounded a bit as it depends on the extension of the spring to stay open. I haven't had any problems so far, especially with the Teflon coating, nothing sticks and doesn't weigh down the upper material. However, this can be an issue if you use it in strong winds.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks
