Travel Umbrella with Waterproof Case - Small and Compact for Backpack or Purse. Great Umbrella for Women, Men or Kids. (Striped)

I looked & looked for a good mini umbrella for a trip and picked this one based on the fact that it's the smallest & lightest one that has decent reviews. I bought another one just to be on the safe side. The other was a disaster - hard to open, hard to keep open etc. This one is great - I've kept using it since the trip. I lost it once and bought it again. It is easy to open and clicks into place solidly. The hardware is good quality and strong, especially for something this small and light. I've struggled with wind and it's never blown inside out. And it's so small when folded that it easily fits in a purse or even a coat pocket. I highly recimmend this product.

I brought this less than a week ago and I must say I'm satisfied. I did read other reviews of people saying that it's flimsy, to that I must say it's true. Though it's a compact umbrella, yes it's flimsy but still holds up together just fine. Once you get ahold of it, you'll notice that both the umbrella and the case are decent quality material for a compact umbrella. I like in a 120+ degree weather, work outdoors on a heavy duty environment. I travel often, so Im practical and like compact products, what I'm trying to say is that it does the job, and it fits perfectly on my purse, it's light weight. I carry cute a backpack purse, doesn't get on the way. It covers only one person, someone else unless they're very close.It does hold pretty well on a rainy day, though if its very windy or pouring, can't ask too much for this umbrella size. If you want something compact, good price, decent quality material, you'll get what you paid for, I like.

Great compact umbrella especially for commuters who have plenty to carry around. Love the carrying case that comes with the umbrella. Very sturdy and durable easy opening and closing water repels and drys quickly to store back into the case.

In our house we definitely have an umbrella problem as we are constantly re-buying them as we lose them in a car or closet. I purchased this one for vacation because of the size and travel case. What was different about this umbrella is it easily fits in my purse. I was so surprised with not only the strength of the umbrella when opened, but also how easy it was to get back into the travel case. One other callout for this little umbrella is how well it protected both me and my son in the rain. I was amazed how large the coverage was for such a little umbrella. If you're looking for something to keep in a small bag that delivers great rain protection, this is your umbrella.

It's a beautiful, sharply designed thing but it turned inside out in a moderate wind the first time I used it. I would have returned it for a refund but I didn't want to bother dragging it back from Vietnam.I have added stars to my initial one star review because of the company's response. I was contacted immediately after posting my review and, since the representative thought it sounded like my umbrella was defective, received a replacement in a few days. I live in Southern California so Lord knows when I'll have the opportunity to test it again but I appreciate the customer service. Rather than assume I'm an idiot, they assumed the product was faulty and replaced it. When I have another opportunity to use it, I'll update again.

This umbrella is great! It's exactly as described - light and compact, and the carrying case makes it convenient to throw into your bag without getting everything else wet. It's the perfect size for one person, or can be used for two if you don't mind getting cozy. ;) Fresh out of the box I took it out on a very windy and rainy day, and I was impressed with how well the umbrella withstood the weather as long as I kept it pointed into the wind. I only wish they had some interesting color choices, but otherwise would definitely recommend!

I purchased this umbrella because I needed an umbrella small enough to fit into my work bag or my travel carry-on. I liked the idea of something small in size that meant I would actually carry it. The carrying case was something that I wasn't necessarily looking for, but added a nice touch.I had the opportunity to use it for the first time last week when leaving my office during unexpected torrential downpours. Like most people, i'm really good at leaving the "big" umbrella at home or in the car, so that when I actually need it, it's not close enough to be helpful. But, because of the very small size of this umbrella, I had it tucked into my work bag, ready to go. It's not any bigger than my glasses case, which makes it nice and easy to transport.As for performance, it is pretty much as you would expect from any umbrella. Easy to put up, held up well in the rain & wind, and easy to take down. I figured it wouldn't fit back into the case after the first use, but to my surprise, the wide strap and compact design made that easy (after it was dry, of course). Turns out I liked the case more than I thought, since it keeps the umbrella from getting damaged or unraveling in my work bag.

[Updated Review] The company contacted me and mentioned that my umbrella was most likely defective. Great customer service & they sent me a replacement umbrella which works great & collapses properly. It's still a little wobbly in the base due to it's size, but I think it's pretty good & you can't beat the small size.It's definitely a mini umbrella and that's why I bought it, but it's not going to withstand gusts of wind. I was pretty disappointed because the first time I used it & collapsed it back up, the spines locked and didn't collapse the right way. Definitely takes some jiggling.
