The green is lovely in person and the frame seems sturdy.
My four year old had an umbrella very high on her Christmas list. Green is her favourite colour, so this seemed a good choice, even though I thought the price was a bit much for a little child's umbrella. Afterall, she was very clear about what she wanted. The green is lovely in person and the frame seems sturdy. It's more umbrella than she really needs at her age, so I help her with it, but she is delighted with the loop handle.

Its a decent umbrella for the money rather than anything fancy.
Its a decent umbrella for the money rather than anything fancy. In everyday rain it has kept me covered for nearly a year now. I haven't taken it out in the really nasty winds, so can't speak for that. A little bulky folded, but overall I think four stars is fair

Really glad I followed through on the birthday suggestion!
My eldest daughter is coming up to six and has started deciding that half the things she loved a little while ago are too babyish now. Rainbows and unicorns are still favourites, and she manages to work that information into introductions to people! She has also been rather envious of her sister having an umbrella of her own, especially as her sister paid for it out of money she'd saved.
So when she found a cheap umbrella on a stand at the craft shop, she wanted to buy it there and then. I had my doubts about how long that one would last and suggested waiting, with a little reminder about her birthday. That got us away from the stand, but it also left me thinking I ought to actually find an umbrella after dropping that hint.
I spent some time looking and ended up with this cream white one. She was so pleased with it, and I think having a proper umbrella of her own was the part that mattered most. It feels like a decent umbrella, not something flimsy bought just for the excitement of buying it. The girls look sweet heading out together with their umbrellas now and the jealousy has stopped, which is a bonus. I'm pleased with the quality compared with her sister's shop bought one, particularly as this cost me less. Really glad I followed through on the birthday suggestion!

The gray is attractive and the construction feels reassuringly solid.
The gray is attractive and the construction feels reassuringly solid. The material doesn't feel thin, and the canopy responds smoothly to the button. A few went out as Christmas presents and the recipients all liked the look and feel of them. Money well spent as far as I'm concerned!

People keep commenting on my umbrella!
People keep commenting on my umbrella! Blue turns out to be a very cheerful choice. I call it my parasol when the sun is out (same thing in my hand, different job.) It gets plenty of use in the rain too. With a bike around I do have to watch where I leave it, but that's me, not the umbrella. Nicely made and worth carrying.Update: mine disappeared from my grocery cart!!!!! So here I am looking for a replacement. Sigh. Is somebody else enjoying the compliments now?
Mallory Villanueva
Happy with the umbrella in the end.
The umbrella itself is fine. Nothing to complain about there. What confused me was the closing, so I sent a question and kept checking for an answer. After waiting a few days I was getting annoyed and wondering if anyone was going to explain it.Then the reply came through and it was quite simple, the button shuts the canopy and you shorten the pole yourself ready for next time. I had expected the button to do that too. Would have been nice to know sooner but it was my misunderstanding, not a fault. Happy with the umbrella in the end.

It opens and shuts the canopy easily with the button.
My old umbrella was starting to wear out after several years, so I ordered this as a replacement. The design is practical and gives me decent cover, including most of what I'm carrying.It opens and shuts the canopy easily with the button. I do miss having a little more coverage behind me for my backpack, but overall it's a useful everyday umbrella.
Nathaniel Gaines
Light enough to carry and and a bit different.
I've seen comments about the handle, but I don't think it takes away from how nice this umbrella looks. Light enough to carry and and a bit different. I'm walking across a big Northwest campus for school, so the loop handle is useful and it doesn't feel like a chore to bring along.
Karla Burns
I shorten the shaft myself before putting it away.
A quick press with my thumb opens the umbrella, and another press brings the canopy down when I'm done. I shorten the shaft myself before putting it away. The shape of the oval handle suits my grip and the whole thing looks very smart. It gives me a comfortable patch of shade when the sun is out, which is the main reason I wanted it. I'm pleased with it and would choose it again when this one eventually wears out.
Jean Tyler
This one has been a good replacement overall.
After a lot of years with my old umbrella, I wanted something I could leave in my purse for the changeable spring weather in New England. This one has been a good replacement overall. It packs down neatly enough for my bag, without feeling skimpy once it's open. There's enough coverage for me and it doesn't feel awkward when I'm walking along a crowded pavement. I've also been happy with how it handles the occasional gust near the harbor. The opening button is very convenient, and it folds the canopy at a press too. My one reservation is the fairly firm push needed to shorten the telescoping section afterwards. I understand that's how it works, but it's not quite as effortless to put away as I had hoped. Otherwise it feels solid, looks tidy, and does the job I bought it for. A good everyday umbrella, just with that little bit of effort at the end.

The umbrella I took on my last trip gave up in the wind...
The umbrella I took on my last trip gave up in the wind...while I was actually underneath it....not a great moment. I always seem to be the one carrying an umbrella in my family, and somehow I'm also the one everyone wants to stand next to when the rain starts. So yes, I spent time reading about umbrellas before choosing this one. I though choosing would be simple, but I wanted decent cover without carrying something enormous all day. This has been a good compromise. Two of us can squeeze in, though you do have to stay close (funny how the teasing about my umbrella's stops then). We're both fairly average sized women. It opens without any fuss and I find it manageable to carry. I've read comments about the handle feeling cheap. I don't get that impression. The oval loop is different from what I was used to, but it doesn't bother me at all. I can get a secure grip and it suits the folded size.It has had a few windy outings here already and I've no complaints about how it has behaved so far.
Gregory Ibarra
The umbrella feels strong and has been working well for me.
The umbrella feels strong and has been working well for me. There's enough room underneath to keep that fine misty rain off my head and shoulders, without the edge being right in front of my face. It feels more manageable than the wide umbrellas I've used before, without being too small. This is the first one of this style I've tried and it seems to suit me. The fabric feels substantial and the ribs have some give, it doesn't feel flimsy when opened. It packs down neatly and dries about as quickly as my previous ones. I accidently caught the open canopy with the tip of some scissors and was relieved there wasn't a hole. So far I am happy with how it's working. The button is handy when I'm getting into the car. After closing the canopy I push the telescoping part in myself, then put it away.
Darren Greene
They are proper umbrellas, not little play things, and feel well made.
I ordered two for my granddaughters and they have been out with them over and over. They are proper umbrellas, not little play things, and feel well made. I did worry about fingers with the button so I help them fold everything away, but there have been no pinches. These would look nice with a costume and are useful when it rains as well.
Stephanie Oliver
I'm happy with the replacement at this point.
My old umbrella was a bit bigger, so I wondered if I'd miss the extra cover. So far there's room for me and my dog underneath this one. It springs out with a press, then another press gathers the canopy before I shorten the pole by hand. That seems quite straightforward once you have done it. The oval handle sits comfortably in my hand too. I'm happy with the replacement at this point. The old one served me for a long time and I'm hoping to get the same sort of use from this!
Jeffrey Houston
Bought it for my daughter in NY...
Bought it for my daughter in NY...wasn't sure about choosing the blue without her seeing it...thought I might have picked wrong....but NO, she loves it!!!! Such a relief when you buy something for somebody else. She says it's lovely to carry and the opening button is handy!!!!! Happy daughter and no fuss for me, that's what I wanted!!!!!!
Monique Velazquez
Does just what I wanted an umbrella to do.
Does just what I wanted an umbrella to do. Looks good, gives me decent cover and I've come home dry. My favourite so far ( for me anyway ). I should have replaced my old one ages ago. If you're looking for a straightforward good umbrella, this is an easy recommendation from me.
Shawna Ward
The compliments have been a nice bonus!
I probably shouldn't be this excited over an umbrella, but this one is for ME, not a child. I'm slim and it covers me nicely without feeling enormous. I still enjoy having something pretty for rainy days, even if I'm well past childhood. I'd recommend it to grown women who haven't stopped caring how their umbrella looks. The compliments have been a nice bonus!
Alicia Gonzalez
Overall I'm pleased with the choice!
This was a present for my husband (I was rather taken with it too). The design is simple without looking dull, and he liked the look of it straight away. I did expect a little more coverage once it was open. Fine for him on his own, but not a lot of extra space around the edges. Still, he prefers umbrellas that fit in his backpack, so that part works well for him. Overall I'm pleased with the choice!
Joseph Mcfarland
Even nicer looking out of the sleeve.
Even nicer looking out of the sleeve.Seems quite solid from what I've seen so far. Spring rain here usually comes with wind, so I'm hoping it copes well.I'd like a touch more room in the handle for my hand, but nothing that's put me off. Considering another one to keep in the car.
Joan Morales
A reassuringly solid umbrella.
A reassuringly solid umbrella. I play quite often in the Pacific region and the course can be exposed, so an umbrella gets a proper workout. Last weekend my push cart and golf bag ended up in a sand bunker while I was putting. Not the most relaxing round. I'd folded this umbrella and left it with my gear, and it came through looking none the worse. Opened it again for the rain afterwards with no trouble. It's a handheld umbrella rather than a big cart canopy, but I've been impressed with how it has handled being taken around the course. Would happily get another.
Jimmy Saunders
Excellent to have around!
Excellent to have around! I carry it when it rains in downtown San Francisco. The grip is comfortable, even when the weather is blustery.The stitching looks neat and the frame feels solid. Doesn't give me that disposable umbrella feeling (which is a welcome change)
Allen Thomas
A good umbrella, this is my second one.
A good umbrella, this is my second one. I still take care when the wind gets strong, no little folding umbrella needs to be treated like a storm shelter. Hold it properly and don't let it get pulled about. For everyday rain it works really well and looks nice also.
Tommy Conrad
I'm glad to have found something that should make her happy.
Finding a blue umbrella for my mother-in-law's Christmas present was more of a search than I thought. She wanted blue and a button opening, not a pattern or some other colour. This one suits what she asked for nicely. I'm glad to have found something that should make her happy.
Zoe Suarez
My four-year-old loves having her own pink umbrella!
My four-year-old loves having her own pink umbrella! She can carry it herself and likes using the button to put the canopy up and down. I help shorten the shaft when she's finished. It gives her a good bit of room underneath in the rain, and the cheerful pink makes her want to use it even more!
Rick Mcdonald
Its been great for both of us!
Picked one up for my mom for xmas and she's been using it in our rainy washington weather. She liked it enough that I ended up getting one for myself too. The pink is pretty and there's enough cover that I don't arrive all wet. I especially appreciate the button when I'm trying to get outside with my hands full. Folds away nicely afterwards and the sleeve is handy for keeping it together in my bag. Its been great for both of us! Ill happily recommend it to anyone needing an everyday umbrella!
Daniel Durham
I've enjoyed using this umbrella so far.
I've enjoyed using this umbrella so far. It has given good cover in the rain, and two of us can get underneath if we stay close together. Folded up, it goes into my bag without much trouble.The part I'm less enthusiastic about is finishing the closing process. A press of the button gets it open from its packed position, which is convenient. Pressing again gathers the canopy, but doesn't shorten the centre stem. You then have to compress that by hand until it locks down, ready for next time. That's how it is meant to work, so nothing wrong with it, but the push is firmer than I personally find comfortable. I had pictured the whole thing shrinking back with the button, so it took a little getting used to. Still a useful umbrella, just worth knowing what automatic closing means here. One tip from getting myself splashed: hold it out AWAY from your head and other people before collapsing the wet canopy, rather than closing it directly above you!
Alexis Nicholson
I would recommend it.
For what I paid I think this was a successful purchase. It feels nicer than I expected it to. The wrapping didn't look very substantial, so I was relieved to find the umbrella inside in perfect condition. Low priced purchases can be a bit of a gamble for me, but this one has worked out well. I would recommend it.
Isaiah Hays
For ordinary rain while traveling, I'd recommend it.
My previous one had been with me for nearly a couple of years, so I knew what I was buying again. Green this time. I travel often, and having something that fits in the luggage without much fuss matters to me. It is compact enough, although a little heavier than I'd ideally like. The button opens it and also brings the canopy down. You still have to push the telescoping pole in yourself, and that takes a firm push. Its handy, just not completely effortless. I wouldn't treat it as an umbrella for really rough winds. For ordinary rain while traveling, I'd recommend it.
Andrea Edwards
While coworkers fuss with theirs, I'm glad I have this one.
This has been a reliable companion on my weekly flights and in wet weather in Chicago and New York. It gets shoved into luggage more often than I'd like, but still opens smoothly and keeps me covered. While coworkers fuss with theirs, I'm glad I have this one.
Rickey Benson
she's been happy with it.
My mom wanted decent coverage without carrying a long umbrella, so I bought her this one. it pops open easily and has been holding up nicely. there's enough room over her shoulders, but once folded it still tucks into the storage space in her car door. she's been happy with it.
Susan Santos
The umbrella feels properly put together.
The umbrella feels properly put together. I gave it a trial in the yard, hoping the neighbours weren't watching, and yes it worked very nicely. It looks considerably smarter than anything I'd normally carry, which probably says more about me than the umbrella. Very neat, very respectable. My wife will be delighted with it and that was the whole idea. As for my sons, I can always make them take it when they're being awkward about the rain. Apparently carrying an umbrella is a terrible embarrassment, whereas coming home soaked is perfectly reasonable. I haven't worked that one out yet.
Nancy Buchanan
THEY LOOKED SO GOOD HANGING THERE.
USED SEVERAL OF THESE AS PART OF MY SPRING FRONT DOOR DECORATIONS.THEY LOOKED SO GOOD HANGING THERE. EVERY TIME I DID ONE FOR A FRIEND I WANTED TO KEEP IT, BUT SOMEHOW NONE ENDED UP ON MY OWN DOOR. WILL HAVE TO GET ANOTHER FOR ME. SUCH A NICE SPRING LOOK. VERY HAPPY WITH THE VALUE!!!!!!!!
Scott Chambers
This one does, and I'm happy to recommend it.
There can be a lot of fuss made about umbrellas and wind, but what matters to me is whether they work on an ordinary wet day. This one does, and I'm happy to recommend it. It feels solid in use and has given me good cover. I wouldn't take that as a reason to stand outside in a serious storm, though. At that point I'd rather be indoors or in the car. Demonstrations are one thing, actual rain coming at you is another. isn't staying reasonably dry on a normal walk the whole point of buying an umbrella?
Vickie Roman
My old umbrella was with me for ten years before I lost it.
My old umbrella was with me for ten years before I lost it. After that long, I knew what I wanted from its replacement. I ordered two in beige this time, and I'm especially pleased with the compact automatic design. It has a good-sized canopy when open but folds down neatly, and the construction looks carefully done. My daughters have received automatic umbrellas as gifts from me before, and they've been delighted with them. I tend to stay with things that have served us well. This one gives me that same confidence. The parcel was here ahead of the expected date too, so I would happily buy from this seller again.
Destiny Ponce
A sturdy umbrella is what I want, and this one has been great.
A sturdy umbrella is what I want, and this one has been great. The previous one lasted four years (it was still opening fine--I just didn't trust how thin the fabric had become). This one's been in use for a year or so now and I haven't had any trouble with it.
Nichole Potts
For my purposes this was a good choice.
Getting to school on foot means that an umbrella is something I actually use, rather than something that sits by the door. Rain here quite often comes with wind, and last year I found that buying the cheapest umbrella available wasn't much of a saving. Seeing all the discarded ones after wet days didn't give me much confidence in doing that again. I spent a while reading reviews and comparing a couple of compact options. It is difficult to judge construction from photographs, and I paid more attention to people describing how theirs behaved outside than to impressive sounding descriptions. In the end this seemed a reasonable balance between price, coverage and something I would be willing to carry every day.
It's now had about three months of use. These are the things that have stood out to me, in roughly the order I noticed them.
-There is a useful amount of coverage without having to carry a full length umbrella. I haven't measured mine, but the stated width of about 105cm seems believable. For one person it is comfortable, with enough space that I don't have to hold it in exactly one position to keep my shoulders covered. Two people could get underneath if necessary, but I would not buy it expecting comfortable coverage for two walking side by side. When rain comes at an angle, your lower legs are still going to get wet. That is a limitation of carrying an umbrella, not something this particular one has done wrong. It is also light enough that holding it in one hand on my walk hasn't become a nuisance.
-The frame has behaved well in the wind I've encountered. I haven't had it turn inside out during my normal use, and it doesn't have that immediate folding-up feeling that made my old cheap umbrellas unpleasant to carry. There are thirty ribs, so the fabric has support all around rather than a few widely separated points. You can see some movement when the wind catches it, but movement isn't necessarily a bad thing. I'd rather have some give than something that feels rigid until it suddenly gives way. I still turn the canopy towards the rain instead of letting the wind get underneath it. I can't say what its ultimate limit would be, and don't intend to find out deliberately. For the conditions on my ordinary walk, it has done what I needed.
-The construction is reassuring in the places I actually handle. The main shaft feels solid when extended, and there isn't a lot of distracting movement between the handle and the rest of the umbrella. The smaller ribs look fairly fine individually, but together the frame feels substantial. I have looked over the fabric attachment points and nothing has started pulling away. The fabric itself also feels less flimsy than the umbrellas I was replacing. This is obviously an impression from handling it, not a laboratory test, but after carrying it wet, drying it and folding it repeatedly, that impression hasn't changed.
The handle deserves a mention because its shape is a little different. It is a closed oval loop, rather than the traditional curved handle. I wasn't sure about that from the pictures, but in my hand it has been comfortable and secure. There is enough to hold onto without having to squeeze a narrow little end piece. It does make the folded shape a bit bulkier at that end, though I don't find that important. At around 40cm folded this is compact compared with a long umbrella, not something I would describe as a tiny pocket umbrella. That distinction is worth knowing before buying.
The opening mechanism has also been straightforward. A press of the button opens it, and it reaches its full shape without my having to arrange the fabric or help the ribs along. Pressing the button again gathers the canopy. To finish packing it away you shorten the telescoping shaft manually. That last part needs a deliberate push, but it is a separate step from collapsing the canopy and has worked consistently for me. I like being able to get the wet canopy folded promptly when I reach the building, rather than dealing with a large open umbrella while trying to get through the entrance.
There isn't much decorative about the overall appearance, which is fine with me. I was buying something to use in rain, and would rather have the fairly plain, substantial feel this has than something that looks impressive but feels delicate. So far I haven't found anything that needs a home repair or a workaround.
For my purposes this was a good choice. It provides sensible coverage, is manageable to carry and has stayed dependable through regular use. I may add photographs later, since seeing it open and folded next to something familiar would probably be more useful than another description of its size.

Expecting an umbrella to make a wet day sunny?
Expecting an umbrella to make a wet day sunny?I haven't had that happen yet. What this one does is put a canopy between me and therain, which is rather more useful than wishing it away.The button saves a bit of fiddling when opening or folding the canopy. And the cream white is easy to spot,so I might actually remember to take it home.
Linda Blankenship
An unexpected Father's Day present, but a good one.
An unexpected Father's Day present, but a good one. I can already imagine Airport Security giving it a good looking over. Nothing mysterious inside, gentlemen, just something to keep an old fellow dry. The button makes it open rather smartly and the folded size is sensible. It will probably get its exercise on my morning walks. Those white-haired ladies with the little yap yap dogs can keep their side of the pavement, and I can stop pretending a cap is adequate protection from rain.
Krystal Salas
The umbrella looks adorable.
The umbrella looks adorable. Cream white is a pretty colour and my granddaughter was delighted with it. I chose it for her and it turned out to be a lovely choice, a useful umbrella that still looks sweet. The size when opened gives her good cover, which I was pleased about.The pictures online gave an accurate idea of the appearance so there were no unexpected differences. It came promptly and I can happily recommend it.
Cole Eaton
The open size covers me comfortably on my own.
The open size covers me comfortably on my own. Material of the canopy and the ribs look strong, overall appearance is good also. The weight is about 390g, but in the hand it feels more than I expected for a folding umbrella. It is not a problem carrying, just noticeable. About how long it lasts I cannot say yet because there has only been a little use. There was a smell when opening it at first. I left it spread open in an airy place and the smell reduced a lot. Now it is much less, so overall I am satisfied with it.
Greg Barajas
So far, this has delivered.
Useful coverage in an umbrella that doesn't need to be carried as a long stick - easy button opening and a quick canopy collapse. The frame seems robust and the folded bundle is manageable. After buying a similar sort before, I wanted something practical rather than just impressive on paper. So far, this has delivered.
Phillip Madden
Easy to take along, decent coverage, and sensible money.
I had been thinking that spending more was the way to get a "proper" umbrella. After using this one, I'm not convinced that price tells you very much. My main concern isn't whether something feels like heavy equipment when I take it out of the box. It's whether I can carry it without a fuss and get enough cover for my suit when it rains. A very solid umbrella isn't much use to me if rain still gets onto my jacket.
I'd liked the practicality of a compact umbrella before, and that is what I appreciate about this Haven. There is enough room under it for me, without having to carry a full length umbrella all day. For the money, that balance matters more than looking for something supposedly indestructible. I wouldn't expect any folding umbrella to last forever, and I don't treat this as though it could. It does feel substantial enough for normal use, though.
Folded up, it goes into my computer bag; opened out, there's a useful amount of cover considering how little space it takes up in there. The automatic opening is handy, but the main thing is that it provides the rain protection I bought it for. Nothing terribly complicated about that. Easy to take along, decent coverage, and sensible money. That's what I wanted in the first place. I'd buy it again.
Courtney Figueroa
This umbrella has been such a help!
So, I rely on public transit to get everywhere, which means there isn't much escaping a wet walk when it rains. My hair is curly and I wear it natural, so a hood or hat on the way to work just leaves me with another problem to sort out. This umbrella has been such a help! It gives my hair and shoulders plenty of cover without flattening everything down. Getting the fabric tucked neatly away takes me a moment, but that doesn't really bother me. I still pay attention to which way the rain is coming from, of course, but for the walk to and from my stop it keeps me dry. Much nicer than arriving with wet hair or a hood squashed around my face. I'd absolutely recommend it :)
Ralph Douglas
Useful shade for daily use.
Useful shade for daily use. It feels a little less substantial than my other umbrella, but I'm carrying it for the sun, not treating it as storm gear. The folded size is convenient without the open canopy feeling tiny. I bought two so I can keep one handy, and one gets used practically every day.
Mikayla Conley
Certainly happy with the first impression.
Still waiting for a rainy day to give this a proper try, but it looks lovely opened indoors. I LOVE the oval loop handle and there's a good amount of space underneath. If the performance is as nice as the finish, I'll be delighted. Certainly happy with the first impression.
Clifford Cochran
Couldn't seem to spot that shade anywhere locally.
Found the cream white I wanted for my son's football team colors. Couldn't seem to spot that shade anywhere locally. We've had it a few months and it's been great for those chilly wet games. Feels nicely made and I've had people say how lovely it looks!! So glad I found this one!!
Grace Koch
can't wait to give it a proper try, good price too!
A bit of a wait for it to arrive but i haven't tried it in the rain yet anyway. feels nicely made and i like having a sleeve to store it in! the covers on my previous umbrellas used to get damp so i'll let this dry before packing it away. can't wait to give it a proper try, good price too!
Evelyn Roberts
The first rainy walk to work gave it a fairly good test.
I spent quite a while looking for an umbrella that would give me decent coverage and still go into my work bag. I live somewhere windy and have been through enough cheap umbrellas that I wanted something with a more substantial frame, rather than another one advertised as if weather can't affect it. This one looked worth trying, although compact doesn't mean tiny and I did check the folded length against my bag first. The first rainy walk to work gave it a fairly good test. Crossing the street, I held it out sideways and a gust got underneath the canopy, so I had to turn it into the wind rather than just carry on holding it however I wanted. That's the main qualification I'd put on it: you still need to pay attention in gusty weather. It isn't some magic windproof shield. What I do appreciate is how substantial the frame and the connections feel compared with the umbrellas I've had before. There are 30 ribs supporting the fabric, and the movement has some give to it rather than feeling completely rigid. I can't tell yet whether that translates into years of use, but it makes a better first impression. The button is convenient when arriving at work, though after the canopy shuts you still have to press the shaft back down yourself. Overall, I think the extra sturdiness is worth carrying something a little larger than the smallest pocket umbrellas. I'm expecting decent everyday service, not immunity from the weather, and on that basis I'm satisfied with it.
Ruth Nolan
I would recommend it to anyone wanting an everyday umbrella.
I've bought one for myself, one for a friend and now this one to keep as a spare. Once you find an umbrella that feels reliable in use, having another tucked away seems quite sensible... I would recommend it to anyone wanting an everyday umbrella. What I especially like is how straightforward it is to operate; the button saves fiddling around when you need to put it up.
Rachel Mullins
- The sleeve is useful for carrying it once everything is dry.
An umbrella isn't usually something I spend much time thinking about, so I did wonder whether this was worth paying more for. So far, yes. A few things that stand out:
- Cream white looks smart rather than loud, and the dark underside is a nice contrast.
- The sleeve is useful for carrying it once everything is dry. Nothing complicated, just somewhere to put it.
- It feels light enough to bring along, but the frame doesn't have that flimsy, disposable feel. It coped with a typically "lovely" Seattle weekend, meaning damp with the occasional gust. No inside-out flower impression.
- Opening takes one button press. Closing the canopy takes another, and pushing the shaft back down finishes it off. Not magic, but convenient.
I haven't tried to challenge it with a serious storm and don't intend to. Long-term durability is still an open question, of course. For the use it's had so far, I'm happy with what I paid.
