Bodyguard Inverted Umbrella - Large Windproof for Rain Sun Compact Reverse With Reflective Stripe Teflon-Coated for Women Men

I bought this umbrella back in January 2024. After over a year of using this, I have to say this umbrella is well worth its price and might be one of the best I have ever owned. Pros: - Size: I bought the 54 inch version, which is the perfect size for both solo-use and sharing with a companion. My partner and I have rarely gotten wet while using this umbrella in even the heaviest rains. The umbrella also retracts to a compact length, and I often just leave it in one of the mesh cupholders on my backpack. - Durability: This umbrella is heavy-duty. It has been flipped inside out more times than I could count, and yet still opens and closes flawlessly. I can’t tell you how many Costco umbrellas I have burned through just because of windy weather, even ones with “air vents” to prevent flipping inside out. Cons: - Balance: When I first started using this umbrella, I thought it was very top-heavy and hard to hold. I wish the handle was a little bit heavier to balance it out. It took some getting used to, but now I can hold it just fine. - Cover: The cover was a bit hard to insert the umbrella back into, especially with the cloth lining for absorbing water. Mine ripped apart after trying to force the umbrella in, but since then it has been much easier to insert haha. Despite the cons listed above, this is a quality, heavy-duty umbrella and would highly recommend it. Read more

Very nice. Easy to open and close. Perfect size for one. The umbrella is well made . The ribs seem strong enough and the material thickness can take the pressure of opening and closing. I also like the fact that the rain water doesn’t drip on me when I close the umbrella. Read more

These umbrellas are the best ones I have ever used. I originally bought a black one for work and it is very sturdy and strong. I came back to get a bright pink one for everyday use. Read more

Works exactly as advertised. Good weight and quality and easy to open. However! It’s very difficult to close. You have to use a wall to close against which I was not expecting. Material thickness is good. It is wind resistant and does not flip inside out. Truly does keep water away from you. Read more

Fabulous umbrella!! 10/10 I bought the bright yellow version so I’m very noticeable to cars. It has a lot of arm bracket thingies so it feels very sturdy in high winds. The edge is reflective to add to the safety in traffic. I like that it flips upside down so water doesn’t get to the underside. I bought it two years ago and it’s still going strong, one of my favorite umbrellas! I think I’ll buy another in a larger size if they have it Highly recommend 👍 Read more

I used this umbrella on a recent trip to Japan and Taiwan. I find hats to be very hot, so thought I'd try an umbrella for shade. It worked very well, also shading more than a hat would. 2 downsides - 1) it's fairly heavy to carry around. 2) It's a pain to take down - you hit the button and the top folds in, but then you have to push the one pole into the other in order for it to reset itself so you can push the button to open it up again. If you don't collapse it all the way the button won't open it up again, and you can't open it manually. But aside from those 2 minor complaints, it worked well and was sturdy. Read more
