Review on InBrella Reverse Close Umbrella: ☂️ Innovative Totes Umbrellas & Stick Umbrellas by Leslie Smith

I bought this umbrella because it was on sale, otherwise I wouldn't have bought the 'strange' umbrella. Overall I'm very happy with this umbrella, it's a good size, stays dry, doesn't feel like it's going to fall apart in the wind and I've been using it for a while now and it still looks brand new. However, there are a few questions: 1- If you fold it, the water that accumulates in it will go somewhere. Straight to the floor of your car or house when you turn it "empty". Water won't drip on you when you get into a car or building door. when folded, this is the part farthest from the handle. Most large umbrellas have a fairly sturdy spike that can be placed on the ground while the umbrella is leaning against a wall, or even used as a walking stick. Not this umbrella! Don't even think about putting the slightest weight on it or even putting it in a corner. I always hang mine by a handle (which, of course, spills all the water - good for drying, bad if you've just spilled a liter of water on your host's fancy wooden floor). If I'm careful when storing the item, I expect it to last a very long time. I would buy another one and probably will someday, but I like ultra-compact umbrellas that fit in my shoulder bag and large ones that aren't fragile; None of them will pour water on the floorboards of my car.
