ShedRain Manual Compact Umbrella - Black

Unfortunately, I took this umbrella on a trip to France, and by the second day it had already flipped inside out twice. I will be purchasing a more durable umbrella.

Cheaply made & won’t last long

Works great and rain tested. It's not huge when opened, but it's also very compact. I needed something to keep in the bottom of my backpack 'for a rainy day' and this fits the bill.

Compact, works well.

The umbrella worked great for a recent trip. It fit well in small purses.

Its ok. Feels a little flimsy. A good gust of wind if not held right would definitely mess it up. But other than that its good. Works for my son who is a 2nd grader. Perfect size for him. Would be small for an adult.

Awful quality. It's so light that any sort of wind flips the umbrella and seems like it will tear and break very easily. Also should have noted the "manual" tag as I prefer one with at least a button to pop open the umbrella. Not fan of this one at all.

I'd assign 5 Stars if the umbrella didn't have a 2" slit in a seam that I had to mend before using (tho not worth returning). Note that "Manual" means you have to manually push it open: no button for it to "pop" open; a plus is no buttons/hardware to jamb or otherwise break. "Compact Mini" is fine if you realize how overall small it is: overall open diameter is 36" & 7-1/2" long when completely collapsed. The band w/Velcro to keep closed is a nice 1-1/2" wide & not 1 of those skinny strips. The metal spokes look well-made & sturdy; I've recently been in a high wind situation & no evidence of the umbrella "straining" or that it would invert. In summary, just what I was looking for since I don't like carrying umbrellas around & small enough for a pocket, purse, tote, etc.
