Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is an excellent umbrella and I highly recommend it. I live in downtown Chicago, and when it rains, we often have 30+ mph winds that suddenly change directions between buildings. During my morning and evening walking commutes today, the wind blew all other umbrellas inside out; but not this umbrella! It alone kept its integrity through the fierce wind and rain. Even though the double layer of fabric makes the umbrella a little heavier, it is much sturdier and well-built than any other traveling umbrella I’ve had before. It is still a compact traveling umbrella (about a foot long) and fits well in a work bag or backpack and is perfect for unpredictable weather days, even when the rain is coming down horizontally. The automatic open and canopy collapsing button makes it easy and fast to get in and out of buildings and cars without having to stand in the rain longer than I want.
