Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I haven't used this in the rain yet.. But I can assume it's going to do what all umbrellas do. It's a big enough size that two people can fit under it, but not too big as to be awkward on a sidewalk. We got the Marsala (burgundy) color. It's a nice deep hue. What I particularly like is the cocking mechanism. The final closing "push" might be a little tough for wimps. What it does is loads up the spring for a nice quick opening and closing action. Great for when getting into and out of your car when speed is appreciated. Folds up to a fairly small size for car storage. PS... for size perspective in picture, please note that I am 6'1" and 260lbs.
