YRH Travel Umbrella,Reverse Automatic Umbrella,Portable Compact Folding Umbrellas with UV Protection (Black)

I bought this to keep with my commuting backpack. It is small and compact. I waited a couple of weeks to review it. I wanted to put it through some of the paces of my commute in Seattle. While light weight, it opens easily and is holding up to the wind and rain. It would not be my choice for long distances but it works for that quick dash from the car to the store or office. It is a little hard to close but opens in a snap and, because of the reverse folding mechanism, keeps the water under control when closing for storing in the backpack or on the floor in the front seat of the car.

I like how it works...you can get in and out of your vehicle without any rain hitting you. The only thing I'm not keen on is it's still a bit bulky when you use the strap to pull it together for storage. I'd like it to be a bit more streamlined. Better would be another size shorter....like a micro size.

I got this umbrella because the one I had broke and I was too lazy to go to the store just for that. I was not disappointed!! This umbrella is really nice! It’s somewhat heavy but not overly heavy. I put it in my purse and it was like carrying one of those filled reusable water bottles. I’m putting it on the side of my school backpack on most days and that’s fine! I’d recommend this umbrella if you’re looking for something durable. I’d make eveeyone buy it if it was just a little lighter!

I bought this reverse fold umbrella thinking it might help with water run-off when closing and folding. Instead, I've found it to be frustratingly troublesome and fiddly to close and fold up neatly to be able to put it back in its sleeve or a plastic one that is available in our building lobby on rainy days. It's takes forever to get it properly folded up and by the time I'm finished, my hands are complete wet and water is all over the floor. Yes, it keeps the rain off me when I'm outside but the water finds its way to me anyway trying to put the damn umbrella away.

I've been using this umbrella for a few very rainy and windy weeks. I really like the reverse folding when it's raining on the heavier side. It opens and closes very quickly which is great when you're trying to get in/out of a car or building without fussing with a traditional umbrella. It is also very compact and fits easily in a car door compartment. Great product.

Very Sturdy. Can support windy conditions. The material is durable. I bought this for shade from the harsh Nevada summer sun when walking the dogs during the day time. It does the job! I get complete shade because the material is thick. You cannot see through it like other umbrella materials.

Works as described, it's a great umbrella that is easy to carry.

Release button requires a lot of pressure.
