MaibarMaibar Umbrella Windproof Strong Compact Waterproof 24 Ribs Folding Travel Large Auto Open Close Umbrellas Wind Umbrella (Black)

Easy to use and I feel confident to use it in windy conditions - it is pretty sturdy. It dries quickly. It's a bit heavier than I thought it would be.

good, but a bit bigger than what I expected. It is a bit weak, I think I'll buy another one but from a another brand to compare.

The media could not be loaded. Feels sturdy and is heavy, weighing in at almost half a kilo.Love the colour. Some imperfections on the inside, but not enough to be a problem. Concerned about the edges, suggest that the connection between fabric and frame may rip. I would not point this at anyone or anything when pressing the button as it is quite powerful!

I bought 2 umbrella and the first one came broke and the last one lasted one month. The material is strong but the umbrella doesn't hold open.

It's a little heavy but it's strong and sturdy. It works well and I like the collapse feature although returning it to compact size is tricky at first. It has turned inside out though in the wind but has also stood up to it so I suppose it depends on physics etc I got the black and the colour is fine.

Umbrella is heavy for one. For two it has an annoying operating mechanism - when it's open and you click button it closes only partially. And if it's partially open you have to fully close it to open it again with the button! It looks nice but in heavy wind turned completely upside down. Not sure what's the point of carrying a heavy umbrella then.

I spent a long time looking for a pretty yet functional rain and UV sun umbrella. And this one is the best I could find at a great price.It’s the smallest folded length and lightest you can get for the biggest surface area of shade (for a pretty UV umbrella).It doesn’t have a self opening mechanism which keeps it relatively light despite the black inner UV protection layer, and really who can’t open an old fashioned style umbrella anyway?! (No issues with it opening and clicking into place, or folding down easily, and I’m weak with poor grip).The Velcro tab is plenty long enough to wrap round when in a rush, and the cover also slides on easily if you kind of twist the closed umbrella into it (if you pack it carefully there’s loads of spare room). You don’t have to fit the spokes into the handle, as the handle is narrow so they go down the sides of it, which makes it easy to get it back to the shortest possible length. The length when folded is small enough to fit in my regular handbag, and smaller than the other options I compared this to.The pattern is softer in colour than the shown image, which I personally like, as it just looks like a pretty, summery design. The background is pure white, not off white or cream.There are no holes where the sun (or rain) can sneak in, and the canopy is a fair size, like a regular umbrella not a small one (I deliberately chose an umbrella with 8 spokes as it gives a bigger ‘under shade’ area, whereas the 5 or 6 spoke options may be shorter when folded but give much less shade which isn’t worth it to me).

Good umbrella - nice and compact, and the size is just right to cover me properly in the rain without letting any water get onto my coat or bag. Is a little difficult to collapse though (I sometimes need to and use both hands to pull the lever down) and I can see two tiny perforations in the umbrella canopy - not sure where from but I only just bought it so that's not great.
