- Umbrella 685 Uncle John

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Really nice and perfect product for the Kerala climate where rains pour down heavily. Built quality is good along with a perfect size.

Johns is such a trusted and beloved brand. And they never disappoint. This umbrella is beyond amazing. It’s made of really quality materials and the design is very stylish. It has a push button to open the umbrella adding comfort and makes it easy to use. Colour is as shown in the picture and can easily accommodate 2 people under it. It’s completely worth the price!

Comfort, handle quality, use, Foldabilty

Very sturdy and big umbrella. Easily two persons can take shelter.

I bought the John’s Umbrella 685 Uncle (D Blue) and it feels very sturdy compared to many flimsy umbrellas I’ve used before. When the wind is blowing, this one holds strong and doesn’t fold back like others often do. This is not a long-term review, as I’ve only used it during one of my trips, but the build quality looks reliable. A few of my friends are also using the same model and recommended it to me, which gave me confidence in the purchase. Some highlights I noticed: The color is subtle and classy. The cover is easy to put on, unlike very compact umbrellas that are hard to manage. It feels very natural to open and close. The button works perfectly without any issues. Large enough to comfortably fit two people, and even three if needed. Overall, this umbrella combines sturdiness with ease of use. I’m quite satisfied with it so far.

Excellent

Good build quality. Slightly heavy but tonbe expected for its size. Can easily provide cover for two tall people. It has a Large span - it is similar to the old school umbrellas. Also the pointed end is covered with heavy rubber - it can be used as a walking stick for tall people. The canopy fabric is thick and the span ribs seem to be strong they are made of fiber and not metal. The button is easy to press and when closed the umbrella closes with a satisfying click. The handle looks like wood and looks quite decent, but is made of plastic. Overall worth buying for its price. Have not used it in rains, will update my review later once I use it in rains.
