FOUND I NEEDED THIS MORE THAN I THOUGHT
Simple automatic umbrella. Its a tad bit flimsy but firm enough to hold through mild rain. Really loved the automatic close but it can get rather in the way if your not closing it in an open area. Many times while coming in my door has it hit the side wall or panel of the door as I close it in coming with me. Its pretty much the only real downside of thos umbrella also with its automatic closing its a bit flimsy but decent for what its needed. The span is only for ONE person. Its hard to share this umbrella ... one person will end up wet. Otherwise decent product and glad to purchase this as Ive used it many an occasion.

The packaging was very nice.
It flipped one windy and rainy day. The metal parts inside snapped and the umbrella wouldn't shut. Also, the material seems to grip the water rather than letting it slide down the side. Whenever I went to close the umbrella it seemed to be full of water on top. The packaging was very nice.

Does the job
I live in Southern California and do not need an umbrella by any means but I do travel often and love to travel to the rainy places. I’m going to San Francisco and didn’t want to be caught in the rain empty handed. I chose this one because it boasts being wind resistant and I like that. It’s a little big for having to carry around while being a tourist but love the color and it does the job.

Great Umbrella
Perfect umbrella. I love the convenience of the open/close button. Very compact, I can throw it in my tote bag no problem. My only qualm is that you can't re-open the umbrella using the button unless the umbrella is pushed down/not gilly extended, which you have to do manually. But overall it's a great umbrella. It's taken me through the rainiest days in Florida and New York without any trouble.

Leaks water
Fabric Leaks water. Not a bad leak but who wants an umbrella that starts to leak water. Purpose of the umbrella is to keep the water out.

OK for the $
Small & compact. The auto close isn’t as easy as I would like. You have to push it down pretty hard for it to click into place.

Other than that it is good.
I bought this unbrella on November 26. It now exploded and I have no umbrella. It was always difficult to close, which you need because you can't put it up if it isn't completely closed. So today, I am buying a new one without frills.

Don't buy this umbrella.
This umbrella is ridiculous. It is extremely difficult to manage. I'll never use it and will order a simple umbrella.......one that is easy to put up and take down. I guess you get what you pay for.
