Rain-MateRain-Mate Compact Travel Umbrella - Pocket Portable Folding Windproof Mini Umbrella - Auto Open and Close Button and 9 Rib Reinforced Canopy (Black)

While I (thankfully) haven't yet had the chance to test this umbrella in high winds / torrential rain, it seems like a very well built umbrella.The handle is nice to hold, the button makes it very easy to use, and the colours of the rainbow fabric are perfect.Assuming it holds up in the winds and rain, (and if not that the company honour their lifetime warranty), then I am one happy customer.

My last umbrella died a death only after 1 week, so I decided to invest in a decent model. Found this umbrella and initially, I wasn't too sure but placed my order and thought that if I did not like it, I could always send it back. All I can say that this umbrella is the best I have bought so far. I had occasion to use it during a rainstorm a couple of weeks ago. This umbrella opens and shuts automatically by pressing either the up or down buttons. It opens out to be a very sturdy and good sized canopy. Whilst walking in the wind and the rain, it held firm. This is a strong umbrella and I would highly recommend it

A very sturdy and good quality umbrella, just a little heavier than expected and not quite what I would call compact. It is the average size of a non golfing size umbrella. I was looking for something shorter and lighter for my daughter to keep in her school bag. I’ll happily use this one instead.

My previous umbrella (Fulton) had become completely useless after blowing inside out so many times in the recent storms. This one looked stronger so I thought I'd try it. It's definitely more robust than the previous one and I'm very pleased with it. The mechanism is smooth and works very well. The canopy is larger than most other folding umbrellas, which means that it's bigger when it's rolled up (12" x 2"), so check you have room for it if you're planning to carry it around in your bag.

Like the colour and material. Well built and good handle. It is quite wide and protect you from side rain. Used first time today with a bit of light rain and some wind. I was worried most about the wind. Let's see with more strong wind but it looks promising.

Wow what can I say! One of the best umbrellas I have ever owned. So sturdy and easy to put up, umbrella bag fits perfectly and never any trouble putting on. I’ve even bought another in pink! So pleased definitely a great buy!

Fell in love with this when it arrived, looks fab, felt sturdy and robust.it was a bit stiff to collapse.Also, the sturdiness means that it's heavier and bulkier than most umberellasUnfortunately the mechanism broke on about the second day I used it - returned.

This works very well and i like the dual action, press to erect, press to drop down.It stiid up to strong winds well.The one think i didn't like was after a few weeks use, orange water dropped out from the inside, it was rusting.This stained the fabric in places.Never had an umbrella start to rust on the frames before. Are they not meant to resist wet ?
