Compact Umbrella, Folding Light Weight Umbrella Premium Travel Gift Boxed with UV Protection (Black Pink)

This umbrella is larger when up than your average handbag size umbrella which is what I liked. The design is lovely on the inside. Unfortunately though it does not cope well with wind. The umbrella is quid rigid when up, so when faced with a relatively light wind (for U.K. Winter weather) it bends. I haven't used it in heavy wind at all, but each time I have used it, with one exception, one of the spokes has bent in the wind. I don't imagine it will last much longer as I am expected get it to break vpeverytime I have to unbend it. Given this, I don't think it was worth the price. Also it can be fiddly to put away.

This gives a person-sized pool of deep shade in tropical sunshine. It's very effective, light and folds to an easily packable size. Personally I wouldn't test it in strong winds - the aluminium alloy ribs and stem don't seem to be designed for great strength, but for lightness, although they are strong enough to shrug off light breezes. When you have to be out, in the sun, in the middle of the day, at 35C plus, a hat is too uncomfortable, especially when it's steamy, but a sun umbrella is just the thing. I've bought two of these so far, and plan to give more as presents to friends travelling in the tropics. In cool northern climes (here) I use proper windproof brollies, with fibreglass ribs not aluminium alloy ribs.

The umbrella was too heavy and I found it stiff to open. It wasn't for me so I gave it away to charity.

Heavy,difficult to open,strange fabric , would not buy again

wife loves everything about this umbrella 1st class

At first Nice umbrella with SWAROVSKI, package stronger much better than other umbrellasI thought its a bit steep a price to pay for an umbrella but its well worth it and the folding umberlla goes to say you pay for the quality its heavier than my other umbrella but its sturdy it does not blow inside out and it dries pretty quickly without that awful smell.Two people could fit under the brolley and be well covered. Well worth the money and if I should loose it or something happens to it I would have no problem with purchasing another umbrella of this calibre after all we live in England and a umbrella is always neededThen Portable umbrella for my shopping or outdoor, the umbrella is small as my cell phone, so that can be easily put into my bag.

I bought this umbrella as a gift for a friend who is leaving for UK. As someone who's been there before for awhile and knows how quickly the weather can change, I knew I had to get her something that would keep her safe from rain and wind during drizzle and typhoon season, as well as looking cute in the sunny flower colour! Having a fast drying umbrella is also a huge bonus, because I know she'll be travelling a lot, visiting different tourist spots. The umbrella may not be as compact as others, bu it fits nicely in a women's handbag or a rucksack, and it's very easy to fold.

It is amazed at the luxury packaging!!!!Using portalbe umbrella is quite helpful in a rainy day.The size is available to put in my bag, suitable for two adults as well.I tried it on some really bad days and still very satisfied with my purchase. It is strong and not like some cheap one :-)))))Highly recommended!!!!!!
