Review on ☂️ Black AmazonBasics Auto Travel Umbrella by Kelly Thompson

I needed a compact umbrella when carrying things to/from the house. The 38-inch canopy is sized and weighted to provide protection without being bulky. My title says "semi-automatic" because the button doesn't completely reverse the opening action. Initially, the button lengthens the stem and expands the dome. Pressing the button again collapses the dome but not the stock. Pressing the button when the dome is in the collapsed position and the shaft is extended will not reopen the dome. This means that the lantern can only be extended with the button when the shaft is folded in. Considering I didn't break the ribs for this review, I can say that the vents weren't functional enough to adequately relieve the ribs. Windbreak was not a requirement and Revain does not advertise it as a Windbreak, so no points are deducted. Taking a point off for the tiny 2.5" grip. Grip. While the shape of the grip helps to find the button, grasping the grip and pressing the button at the same time requires dexterity, even for a medium-sized hand. Me believe if this is your everyday umbrella, you will eventually become a master of operation.
