Review on Windproof Umbrellas Compact Lightweight Umbrella by Marianne Green

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Big disappointment.

my problem may be buying this umbrella for man as it is specially designed for women but still this umbrella is terrible. Pros: He's cute. The little leprechaun is adorable, the yellow border is cute. The mechanics work great and make a very solid impression. The ribs are not metal, so flipping them over will not damage them. Strange: Teflon coated. It doesn't prevent water from getting on the umbrella so I'm not sure what its purpose is other than to make folding the umbrella very awkward as it makes the canopy very awkward and stiff. It also leaves very visible wrinkles. The bad: I've never had an umbrella that folds over so easily. Even the slightest breeze turns it around. On a short walk, he turned half a turn once and turned three times. And that's not the worst! It's just that nothing sharp was usually around in a computer bag, and the soft handle broke. And now sticky, milky mucus is leaking out everywhere. I can get past the weird Teflon coating and even flip it over (I live in Chicago, even the best umbrellas flip over sometimes), but if I can't even hold a handle, what's the point of an umbrella? Get some cheap umbrellas and ride on them. I bought a leprechaun umbrella many years ago and it was of much better quality than this one and lasted 7 years before finally failing. I'm already looking for a replacement.

Pros
  • luggage and travel gear
Cons
  • unreliable
