Review on Automatic Travel Umbrella Windproof Waterproof by David Pack

was disappointed after first use that water seeps through the permeable fabric, the coating doesn't seem to do anything at all. I walked 2 blocks in the rain, shook the umbrella out and let it dry upside down, but when I used it again a few hours later, the inside of the canopy was all wet. I have never experienced this with any umbrella, not even with cheap recreational umbrellas. wanted to come back but missed the window for 4 days. A plus is that it's a bit wider than other folding umbrellas, but like all these auto-opening models, closing the umbrella is a pain. Having to grab the wet umbrella with one hand and squeeze really hard to get it out would be nice , so that the button closes as open, as it is uncomfortable to hold on to a wet knot of fabric after each use. Next time I'll just buy a good cane umbrella so you can use a larger diameter canopy and not have to close it. Also, the water should stay on the outside of the umbrella.
