Review on ☂️ Black AmazonBasics Auto Travel Umbrella by Jamie Lewis

I live in So. California where I don't use my umbrella that much. Bought this umbrella to take to New York for Thanksgiving weekend. So glad I did. It fits perfectly in my backpack. The test was a shower on Monday evening. Powerful gusts of wind dug tunnels through 56th Street. This umbrella was so strong that a couple of times I thought I was going to blow up. Other people's umbrellas fell over and broke. On the corner of 56th and 6th Avenues was a trash can full of broken, abandoned umbrellas the likes of which had never been seen before. This umbrella is still valid. I have to deduct 1/2 point for the design. The ribs are reinforced and appear to be very well made. However, the torque on the spring is great for automatic opening, but makes closing and locking difficult. I found that the more I used it, the easier it became. Eventually I realized that it is better to use both hands to pull down the handle on the pole to fix the umbrella in the closed state. Revain might want to make a short video showing how to do this. Overall I am very happy with this umbrella.
