ShedRain Compact Folding Umbrella

I needed a compact umbrella for a trip but hesitated to buy yet another umbrella that would break after one or two uses. This one touted a special design that intrigued me and they stand behind it with a lifetime guarantee; which tells me they are confident that it will not break. It arrived super-fast and it is a sturdy, great quality umbrella. The color I bought, a wisteria-colored purple, is very nice. I did find that if you use it, then release it to come down, you can't just pop it back up without fully engaging it back into the handle first. In other words, you can't just rest it down and then raise it up again; you have to fully close it or it won't lock open. I think that may be why the reviewers that said it only worked once or twice thought it was defective. They really should make that clear, because that's what I thought at first until I figured that out.Give it a try, it's a nice umbrella. It's plenty big when in use, but not as compact or light as I had expected. Even so, I am happy with my purchase.

Great umbrella!! lightweight... easy open & close with just a push of the button!

Love it only issue it difficult to close but it’s well made ….

Excellent umbrella to keep in the car, and holds up so far. Love the blue colour and opens fast and closes without a problem

Very well built. A little heavier than expected but an excellent value!

Worked great and was the right size for one person

Easy to open easy to close

Functions well but item case was missing.
