Windproof Umbrella - Lightweight, Compact, UPF 50+ Sun Umbrella for Men & Women, Instant Dry, Travel Folding

Today I used this umbrella in heavy, squally rain. Indeed, the umbrella blew inside out and when righted has remained intact, has not sustained any damage. When entering indoors I gave the brolly a quick shake and not a drop of rain fell on the floor! I was very sceptical about this claim but it is true - the umbrella does dry instantly. No more taking a wet umbrella into a car and adding to the dampness within. Opening the umbrella is easy, my fingers did not get pinched by the spring loaded button. Closure was simple too. The handle is very smooth and nice to hold. The size of the folded brolly makes it easy to slip into your bag. When fully open it is large enough to give protection but not so large that it is awkward to hold if it is windy. Some umbrellas I have owned have been quite heavy but that is not the case with this one. I am truly impressed with this lovely brolly. I highly recommend it. I’m certain if you purchase this one you will not be disappointed .

I have seen umbrellas that are smaller when folded, but they are also small when open. This one is surprisingly big. Initially I had trouble getting it to stay open, but then I realised I wasn’t pushing the slider far enough up the handle, after that it was fine. Mine is a lovely bright blue-perfect for a wet grey day. The fabric doesn’t feel like normal umbrella fabric, but I haven’t had a chance to try it in the rain yet. The frame feels solid and the handle is comfortable in my hand.
