MRTLLOA42/49 Inch Compact Windproof Travel Umbrella for Rain, Lightweight, Portable, Automatic, Strong, Waterproof Folding Umbrellas for Women, Men and Teenagers

I liked the idea of an 'upside down' umbrella but wanted to get one with the cloud design underneath, so this fit the bill. The picture is very bright and the umbrella doesn't feel flimsy at all. I also liked that when open, this umbrella is a few inches winder than most travel umbrellas which is good because my last compact umbrella didn't quite cover me and my backpack, but this one does.My favorite part is actually that the button opens AND closes the umbrella. Very convenient. Just be careful when you're opening it because it really moves quick! The umbrella sleeve is great too. It fits tightly around the umbrella and seems waterproof, and I like that it has a zipper. The only thing I don't like about this umbrella is that to fully close it takes a lot of strength and effort, more so than any other umbrella I've ever seen. I can't pull the umbrella down and get it to stay, so I actually have to press down from the top of the umbrella for it to click into place in the base. And because of the way it's made with the auto-open feature, you have to open it from the base every time. You can't just close the top part, leave the handle long, and re-open it; it won't work. But now that I know that I really don't mind, and pushing down on the top of the umbrella to close it isn't really a big deal. I just can't figure out how to 'pull' it closed. Otherwise, it's a really great umbrella especially for the price!

I like the rich nave blue color, fits great in my compartment between the seats for easy access.

This umbrella is well built, and appears to be good quality. It is a little heavy for carrying in the purse. Also, when you try to fold it after use, it requires quite a force to get it back into the closed position. I think the springs used for the construction, are a little overdone. It will probably last a long time, but for someone who is is not strong (e.g., elderly), it may be hard to operate.

Umbrella of was good and sturdy. Only thing that wasn't good was the umbrella holder ripped easily after putting it back in for the third time. Ripped down the side.

This is a beautiful well-made umbrella; I am 78 years of age and read reviews that it might be difficult to open and close, but I found it not the case, it opened fine, when you close it hold the umbrella up-side down on the ground and push down on it on it, and presto its done .

Good to carry umbrella for everyday use

Very nice umbrella. Good size, quality, and opens beautifully with the push button on handle. The one drawback is it is very difficult to close. You need to put some muscle into it and it took me 3-4 tries each time. I needed something easy to close for a dance prop and no one could close it. I decided to return it.

It doesn't really block out the sunlight that well. The material is quite thin. But it is very cute. It's better for rain than Sun obviously

Good -though have to exert more pressure when pressing the open /close button(Dark purple is as shown in their picture) -Umbrella arrived in Amazon envelopeUmbrella was in matching cover & outer translucent snap button plastic
