Lejorain Collapsible Umbrella Compact Travel - Portable Black Double Canopy Automatic Windproof Umbrella Folding Striking Red Reinforced Fiberglass

Finally got a chance to use it yesterday and it works great. I love the automatic button for both open and close of the umbrella. It works so much better compared to manual umbrella when you try to get in/out of your car. Read more

Great when it rains keeps u dry Read more

Opening the umbrella only takes a press of a button. But collapsing it, requires handling the runner, the shaft and folding the canopy. Also, there is no hang strap on the umbrella. The product looks strong and well designed, but my evaluation of performance is pending. Read more

The media could not be loaded. A sturdy and cleverly-designed collapsible umbrella, and one which should last. This umbrella is a far cry from the collapsible foldable umbrellas we've all had over the years, the ones found in every trash can in rainy, gusty weather. This collapses to a size suitable perhaps for a big coat pocket (a shade over 12"), slightly larger than other collapsible umbrellas, and weighs a bit more too, feeling solid in the hand. The extra weight comes from the fiberglass ribs replacing the flimsy u-shaped ones most collapsible umbrellas use. The details are nice -- the distinctive red fiberglass rods, and the fact that each rib is connect to the fabric at four points along its length. When open the umbrella is 40 inches from tip to tip, enough to keep both you and your package/briefcase/purse out of the rain. The double canopy should keep it from turning inside out in the wind, too, though I haven't tested it in really windy conditions. Apart from its more rugged construction, it differs from others I've used in that it deploys fullly with a single push of a button and the canopy collapses with another push of the button. It's nice to be able to collapse the umbrella and shake water from it before reaching to return it to compact size. I really like this umbrella and plan to make serious use of it in chilly rainy winter weather. Read more

I'm normally someone who goes for the cheapest umbrella, but this reinforced fiberglass umbrella caught my attention and it's well worth the few extra dollars. The umbrella is made of a /quality/ heavy metal central column; it's solid and doesn't flex at the joints. The handle has a comfortable grip and quickly opens at the push of a button, snapping fully and firmly into place. Fiberglass ribs keep the underlying structure in place, keeping fabric tight and flexing ever so slightly; the springs and additional metal arms used to open/close the umbrella also lend extra rigidity. At 40" across you get good rain coverage, even with a steady wind. Closing the umbrella is again as simple as pressing a button; it closes in on itself quickly, and after shaking off excess water, the solid metal compresses if you (as instructed) put a hand on the top/bottom of the central column. Wrapping and securing with the standard Velcro closure, then storing in the included bag is a snap. This is easily the best umbrella I've owned. Plus the red-on-black color scheme "pops" and happens to match my son's school colors (bonus!). While I'm not looking forward to more rainy days I am looking forward to using this umbrella when they roll in. Read more

The red and black frame looks formidable, like a black widow spider. It kind of freaks me out. Good thing I don't spend a lot of time looking up while holding my umbrella. The umbrella is easy to open with the push of a button. It also collapses and closes easily which is nice when you're trying to get in your car. In fact, I keep it in my car most of the time and it doesn't take up much space. I can fit it under my seat. I haven't used it in a wind storm, but I noticed it has some venting fabric which is probably what keeps it from flying away in high winds. I actually did lose an umbrella once in a grocery store parking lot due to wind. So this one is my replacement and so far I've been happy with it. Read more

This is a well built umbrella. Not only does it have a striking red spiderweb pattern (when looking up into the canopy) it is pretty sturdy. It opens like a bowling ball being dropped on a trampoline -shooting up into the sky, and wanting to drag you along with it. Perfect, as the description says, for a windy day when you have your hands full of groceries. It will not only open the canopy but also extend it fully. (The flip side is that you have to use two hands to close it -as the spring action is pretty strong). I also love that it is designed for wind gusts with a double layered canopy to let wind through if the wind catches it wrong and wants to blow it away. Finally, the fiberglass interior skeleton seems well made and looks like it will hold up better than some other umbrellas that I've had in the past. This is not going to fail you in a storm, and it is big enough to cover 1 person easily, and 2 if you are snug. Recommended. Read more

The media could not be loaded. Si busca un paraguas desechable, éste podría ser el que necesita, pero si busca algo más duradero, no lo recomiendo. Lo compré en abril, dos o tres meses después se partió el primer brazo, sin embargo lo seguí usando por no querer perder totalmente mi dinero, hoy 8 meses después quedo inservible. Read more
