Review on Black Closed Travel Umbrella by Umenice by Melissa Oldroyd

Enough has been written about this umbrella but I thought I'd point out a few small caveats: 1) The "Retract" button only works, when the umbrella is fully open it closes fully to a compact size. It doesn't. I really demand that you pull the folded umbrella into the handle with little effort) 2) It's a bit on the heavier side 3) the extended handle/stem feels short compared to other umbrellas I've used are maybe 20's -22 inches above the handle (see photo) Overall, a VERY durable product that has already survived a few walks to a downtown office. Despite the minor flaws mentioned above, I highly recommend it - especially at this price point
