GARMAR Windproof 10-RIB Compact Travel Umbrella with Auto Open Close.

I am so glad I received the garman travel umbrella quickly, I was able to use it the first night it was delivered. we had a rain storm. the garman travel umbrella did exactly what it was suppose to. kept me dry. it is lightweight and easy to use. the auto open and close buttons were easy to use. then last night we had rain and 50 mile per hour winds. so I had to go out and try it ( we didn't have hail) and the garman travel umbrella again did good. with wind that strong my legs were a little wet but my upper body was dry and the umbrella stayed in tact. I am also going to use this garman travel umbrella when I am cycling. I tried the umbrella and it fits just right into the bicycle back pack. and it is light weight so will only add a very little weight to the back pack .. I received this product for a reduced price for my honest and unbiased opinion

Love this umbrella! Sturdy and big enough to keep you from getting wet in the rain.

This umbrella is a very good size. Not too big but big enough to keep me dry. I really like the pop up feature. It works great and seems very strong to withstand the strong winds in Oklahoma.

Avoid these umbrellas at all cost. Not only are they a bit heavy as previously stated, both umbrellas I bought were defective within a few times of using them. One of them literally fell apart in my hand as I was packing it for a trip and the other one would not open or close properly after using it a couple times. At one point I could not get it to close at all.

Broke

Absolute garbage! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS UMBRELLA! Used one time, and it could no longer be closed, a button fell off, and part of the handle came off in my wife's hand. This thing was not abused, it simply cannot stand normal and usual use. A terrible product and a waste of money.

Thank heavens I finally found a good umbrella!! So many umbrellas have lost their lives in order for me to get to this point, but I have finally found what I've been looking for all along! 😁I'm a mom to 4 kids under the age of 9 and my youngest is a 5 month old preemie who needs a ton of care. Needless to say I haven't been able to afford a car big enough to fit us all so we need to walk everywhere. I cannot tell you how many times I've gotten caught in the rain and showed up somewhere looking like a drowned rat... But not anymore!! Thanks to this amazing umbrella I can get where I'm going and stay dry.This umbrella arrived in a timely manner and was packaged perfectly. It came inside of a small box and was cushioned for protection. The umbrella also came with a cute umbrella cover.This umbrella is amazing!! It is extremely light weight and very easy to use. All you need to do is push the button to open the umbrella and you also push the same button when you want the umbrella to close. It makes it easy to open and close with one hand, which is essential for someone like me who always has to hold my kids hands anytime we are out.This umbrella has 10 ribs as opposed to the average 6 or 8 that most umbrellas have. That means that it is very strong and you don't have to worry about it turning inside out during windy weather. I used this umbrella in near hurricane winds and it held together perfectly!I would highly recommend this umbrella to anyone. There is not a person alive who wouldn't benefit from owning this umbrella. I am extremely impressed!!Here's a little more information on this item.BackAbout this itemFeaturesWINDPROOF 10-RIB CONSTRUCTION: Most umbrellas are made of 6 or 8 aluminum ribs but them simply break in heavy winds.

When you get caught in an unexpected downpour, you won't look like drowned rat by opening the umbrella in less than a second.ERGONOMIC SLIP-PROOF HANDLE: Most of the umbrella handle of the umbrella is very short, it is not comfortable to grip, not easy to force, especially in the strong wind. Our Handle made of Slip-Resistant Rubber for designed. It can provides a comfortable firm grip without fear of slippage in any wet and rainy conditions.LIGHTWEIGHT-WATERPROOF: The canopy fabric is one of the strongest pongee polyester for optimum water repellency.

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.  This is now my new favorite umbrella. I got the Burgundy one and it is a great dark Burgundy color just as shown. When the umbrella is closed up it is a nice portable size of about 13 inches. Not something I would keep in my purse but it is a nice small size and I would say it has a medium weight. It opens up to a big 42 inch canopy which nicely covers one person easily. The handle is rubberized which gives a good anti slip grip. It feels good to hold also. The best part are the buttons. When you press the open button this thing pops open in an instant. It is kind of shocking really! It opens very fast and with a pop. Then when you press the down button the canopy closes up just as quickly. The first couple of times it is a bit hard to lower the shaft back down but it loosens with use. After the third or forth time it goes down much easier and smoother.The umbrella does come with a cover for storing but I usually never keep those around. I prefer to leave the umbrella out so it dries quicker. The umbrella also has a strap on the handle for your wrist.This umbrella is very well made and performs wonderfully. I have put it through several rains already and it performed very well with no issues. I have not had any strong winds yet though. So just that remains to be tested. So far I am very happy with the construction and look of this umbrella. I can recommend it.*****DISCLOSURE: I received this item free of charge to evaluate and review.. All opinions are my own.
