I was searching for an umbrella that was wider than average. With normal umbrellas, drops always drip off the sides and get your pants or bag wet. I like that this one is wide and also still compacts into a small size with a wrist strap. Wide enough to keep two people mostly dry. It gets harder to keep two people dry when you are walking - you know how it is. That's not the fault of the umbrella though. I would've preferred a little color, like a baby pink or something. At first I set out to definitely not buy a black umbrella because I thought it boring and bland and everyone has a black umbrella. But in the end, I decided I wanted something functional and good quality over fashionable, in this case. And for the price? It's wonderful! I can't believe how expensive umbrellas can be! Read more
I like it for its ease in which it opens. Its sturdy. Two velcro straps to keep it neatly closed. Wind proof. I would recommend. Read more
I moved overseas just in time for rainy season. We bought 3 umbrellas…yellow, maroon and navy blue. All are exceptionally well put together. Does not feel cheap. Good quality, color and no rust or functional issues. Hoping it will withstand heavy winds. Read more
This is a great umbrella for the small price I paid. My only complaint is that the button to open is tough to engage…I have weak hands…and it’s a bit tough to close. I’m sure it will get easier over time Read more
Great size and easy to carry. Folds easily. Read more
A must buy, this umbrella is so convenient, it opens and close the same way, that makes it so easy keeps you from getting wet. I bought pink, its compact worth the price, covers you well! Read more
I love the look and feel of this - and it’s big enough for 2 or 3 people if you’re walking kind of close together. It sheltered me, my husband, and my rolling walker. If you’re a ditz like me, though, you’ll have fun trying to figure out how to close it up again. I always have to do things the hard way, dontcha know. (And now you know why I say it’s sturdy.)

This umbrella is very small when closed yet standard size (for one person) when opened. Great to add to your carry on luggage or keep in a backpack. Well made and easy to open and close. Update: After using it for about 15 total days I have noticed rusting even though I am careful to get it dry as soon as possible after use. The rust has caused brown stains on the yellow one I bought, and some discoloration on the blue one I bought. I also noted that in even moderate winds you MUST hold the umbrella towards the wind or it will turn inside out. That is the mark of a poor design in my opinion. I downgraded to three stars because this is still a great compact umbrella for use in mild to moderate rains but I am disappointed in the metal parts not being stainless steel and causing staining.
