Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

What a blessing this baby has been. It's been raining in Louisiana non-stop; we are actually flooding here right now. I couldn't have gotten this at a better time. The quality of this umbrella is really nice. It is really compact and small, so it fits easily into my purse or my work bag. Even though it is compact when closed, it opens up to a really good size. It comes with a cover to put it in. This allows less dripping from the umbrella itself; which can get all over our cars and cause it to smell. However, with that being said, this umbrella is made from a certain type of Teflon, that repels the waters and allows for pretty close to immediate drying. It's basically a Rain-X umbrella, so to speak. I used it yesterday and it really did dry up that quick. The umbrella actually has a 9 rib construction, unlike the normal 6 or 8 ribs. This means that it is able to withstand higher wind gusts without flipping inside out. It has an easy open and close function, you just press the button on the handle and voila. There is a wrist strap for easy carrying when you are not using it. I tried to take a picture of it yesterday, but it was really humid and gross outside from the rain, so my picture is a little foggy. Overall, this is a really nice quality and solidly built umbrella. I see this lasting a really long time and hey, if it doesn't I read in the instructions that there is a lifetime replacement guarantee. Cannot beat that. --update-- I took a picture of it after coming in from a huge rain storm. Look how there is barely any water on it. It definitely repels the water like I've never seen. I also want to add that I have never used an umbrella that opened up so easily. I'm definitely glad to have this!!
