Better than I was expecting for a travel umbrella.

Better than I was expecting for a travel umbrella. Packs neatly into its sleeve and doesn't take much packing space. There's a decent amount of cover once it's up and the button makes it quick to use. Putting it away has been straightforward as well. Nicely finished, and I think the price is very fair.

Sylvia Atkinson

An excellent purchase.

When I was using buses around the city (parking cost more than $100 each month), waiting without any shade got old quickly. I bought this last year and have been very happy with it. Feels properly put together, which isn't something I can say about every umbrella! The closed loop handle is comfortable to carry, too. Gives me shade at the stops and packs away afterwards. An excellent purchase.

The umbrella matches the pictures

The umbrella matches the pictures; the canopy has a neat finish and the whole thing looks well put together. It feels surprisingly sturdy for the price. I looked at about four other umbrellas in shops before choosing this, and it had the nicest balance of appearance and strength. The oval loop handle is plainer than the canopy, but still comfortable to hold. Overall, it's the best of the compact umbrellas I looked at while shopping.

Handy shade for one person and easy to bring in a bag.

Handy shade for one person and easy to bring in a bag. I have a larger umbrella as well and that's still my choice when watching the grandchildren's soccer games. For this one's size it does a very good job, I just prefer something wider if I'm sitting in the sun for ages.

Kristie Stone

Very, very pleased!

My old umbrella finally gave out after years, leaving a bent bit of metal poking towards my head - not the send off I wanted. I need something dependable for walking to work, so grabbing any old umbrella from a drugstore didn't appeal. I've had this one for about 2 months now and used it through rain and gusty days in NJ and NYC. It has felt steady rather than flimsy, and I'ved stopped fussing over it every time a breeze comes along. There's a reassuring firmness to it... hard to describe, but I notice it. The beige outside against the black inside looks really nice too. No umbrella is something I'd take into absolutely anything, but for my walks this has been excellent. Very, very pleased!

Katelyn Shaffer

Good value as a spare umbrella.

Good value as a spare umbrella. Mine lives in the car and only comes out when the weather catches me - exactly the purpose I had in mind. The button action is quite smooth. I wouldn't choose it for constant rough handling, but for occasional use it's nicer than I thought it would be.

Louis Christian

Such a cute umbrella and a proper useful size when open.

Such a cute umbrella and a proper useful size when open. The simple shape looks much nicer in real life than in a picture, it is EVEN NICER once you're holding it. Folds down neatly enough for my medium-large purse too, so I don't have to leave it at home. Absolutely delighted with this one. A practical umbrella that still feels like a nice finishing touch to an outfit.

Valerie Huber

Happy to recommend it.

My little girl is two and absolutely LOVES being under this umbrella. It's a good size for us when I hold it, and the appearance matches the pictures. Seems sturdy enough to keep using as she grows. I handle the opening for now, but she is delighted every time we take it out. Happy to recommend it.

Chose the gray and I love how it looks!

Chose the gray and I love how it looks! It's compact when folded, but doesn't feel like one of those tiny flimsy umbrellas. Opened up, it covers me and my backpack comfortably, with a little room to share. The button action is great; pushing the shaft in afterwards sometimes takes a firmer shove than I'd like. A small annoyance, not something that spoils it for me.

Steven Rivera

The cream white is lovely and the frame feels substantial.

Getting soaked with my son when our last umbrella turned inside out was enough to make me look for something sturdier. I needed one that wouldn't be awkward to carry but would still shelter me with my baby in my arms. This opens to a decent size without being a nuisance folded up. The cream white is lovely and the frame feels substantial. Funny to be looking forward to another wet day just to take an umbrella out!

Philip Keith

The look caught my eye, and the price was good too.

Needed to replace an umbrella that had given up and wanted a decent amount of cover. The look caught my eye, and the price was good too. It's been out a few times now and I love it - roomy for me, with space to tuck one of the kids alongside, and the button makes getting it open easy.

Michelle Stephenson

This replaced the little cheap umbrella in our second car.

This replaced the little cheap umbrella in our second car. Quite a sturdy thing, with good coverage when opened but still easy to store away. The ribs flex in a breeze and the shaft feels solid. It comes with a useful sleeve, which keeps it all tidy between uses. Useful, and doing the job well.

My daughter has had her little umbrella since last year and it has…

My daughter has had her little umbrella since last year and it has done well, so I wanted something for me to use with the baby and my purse. I didn't want a huge long one to carry around as well as everything else. This one gives us enough room with the baby held close, and I can keep it high enough to watch where I'm walking. I picked green, there is black on the underneath and the handle is a closed oval shape. I was a little worried the folding frame might feel flimsy, but it feels quite sturdy once its opened up. Last week was its first outing (June has been rainy here) and it kept us dry just fine. I leave it out to dry before putting it in the sleeve, rather than packing it away still wet.

Chloe Patrick

The handle suits my hand and it looks smart too.

Some of the unhappy reviews surprised me enough that I wanted to put my own experience down. I've gone through plenty of umbrellas over the years, and this is one I actually liked using rather than merely put up with. I recently lost it (misplaced it, nothing went wrong with it), and my first thought was to get the same one again. The opening is straightforward, it keeps me dry, and there's enough cover without having a long umbrella to lug about afterwards. The handle suits my hand and it looks smart too.I can't explain why other people have had a different experience. Maybe we expect different things from an umbrella, maybe not; I'm only going on mine. It did what I wanted without making a simple job complicated, which is enough for me to recommend it wholeheartedly.

Calvin Hines

It arrived in good condition and everything worked when I tried it.

Years ago I had an umbrella I really liked and losing it left me without a decent one for a couple of years. When I found this one I was quite excited, it had that same useful feel to it. I went for beige for a change instead of looking for exactly the old look. It arrived in good condition and everything worked when I tried it. Very nice to see it opened up, makes even a miserable rainy day look a bit nicer!

Grace Todd

He owns enough gadgets already, so an umbrella seemed a nice change.

For my husband's birthday I wanted something he wouldn't guess. He owns enough gadgets already, so an umbrella seemed a nice change. It went down really well! Looks nicely made, the beige is lovely and it tucks away in his car without taking much space. Price was a pleasant surprise too.

Adrian Boyer

Strong feeling umbrella for taking round the course.

Strong feeling umbrella for taking round the course. We often play where gusts come up, so I pay attention to how sturdy an umbrella seems before taking it on a round. Last weekend I came back from putting to find the push cart and golf bag down in the bunker after the wind caught them. The umbrella was with the bag, partly folded, and I was expecting it to look worse when I picked everything up. But it was still in good shape, no damage that I could see. For something I can fold away it's pretty sturdy. I'd happily choose the same one again.

Bethany Barrera

It feels sturdy without being a chore to take along.

I burn easily, so I wanted something I could carry along to summer track meets where shade is almost nonexistent. This has been really useful. I can hold it over myself and whoever is beside me, and coaches and athletes have definitely appreciated that patch of shade too. It feels sturdy without being a chore to take along. I've also brought it to the beach rather than lugging a tent just for myself. Sit in a chair, hold it above you and there you are. Not a huge shelter, just a simple way to have shade where there isn't any. Very pleased.

Haley Goodwin

Happy to recommend it.

I got fed up spending a few dollars on umbrellas that never seemed to last, so decided to try this one. It has handled my wet, windy walks very well so far. The surprise for me was that it isn't a chore to carry around!I'm short and was worried a decent sized canopy would mean an awkward big umbrella dragging along beside me. But once it's folded it is quite manageable, and the weight hasn't bothered me. The supplied sleeve keeps it neatly together when I'm carrying it, rather than having the fabric loose everywhere. No need for anything elaborate, it just makes it tidier! I like the quick opening too, much less fiddling when the rain starts. Happy to recommend it. One small thing, the cream white looks a touch warmer in real life than I thought from the photo, but I still like the colour. It has been a very good change from the bargain ones.

Aaron Elliott

This was more than thought for one thought would been less to carry but opened it soon i got it and was fine no trouble. so feel was worth it good for rain find the button to be very good would do what needed that why now would keep this one with me when possible

Emily Bean

Right amount of coverage for what I need.

Right amount of coverage for what I need. Packs down sensibly too. I haven't had it out in strong wind, so there's not much I can say about that yet. For the price the finish seems very good. Plain enough that I can carry it on the course or take it to a business meeting.

Pictures dont quite show how nice it is in person!!

Really pleased with this umbrella its such good quality and so Stylish. I like cream white things and have little pale accents all over my apartment, so this was very much my sort of look. Pictures dont quite show how nice it is in person!! Waiting on a rainy day now so i can take it out!!

Karl Oneal

No rainy day to test it on yet, but the frame feels fairly solid.

A little smaller than I had pictured, although it slips into my bag nicely. That's on me for not checking the size properly. No rainy day to test it on yet, but the frame feels fairly solid. With the wind and rain we get here, I definitely need more than a flimsy little umbrella.

Dominique Mcconnell

Such a handy little umbrella.

Such a handy little umbrella. I picked pink for tropical travelling last year. Used it against the strong sun in Nicaragua and wet weather in Honolulu. After drying it fully overnight, I folded the fabric neatly down so it could go in my tote bag. Easy to carry! Enough room to cover one person!

Donna Sweeney

Sometimes just a nice looking umbrella is enough.

There are so many attempts now to make ordinary everyday things different. Sometimes just a nice looking umbrella is enough. My girlfriend was delighted with this one. It gives a useful amount of cover and looks well finished, without being overdone. It's in lovely condition too. For something that looks good and works as it should, I'm very happy with the choice.

Emily Simpson

Such a nice little umbrella, does just what it should.

My husband picked one up at a yard sale for those quick walks from our door to the car, small & handy. Our grandson, who's 3, spotted it & LOVED it. Grandpa showed him the button & he was so pleased he could do it. Of course Grandma had to get him a new one. ( the used one probably would have done perfectly well... That's grandmothers for you!). Straight away he wanted to hold it over his mommy's head to keep her dry! Such a nice little umbrella, does just what it should.

Bradley Bright

The handle is what I like best about this umbrella.

The dog is fine. The handle is what I like best about this umbrella. The closed oval shape gives me something secure to hold, and it can hang on a narrow peg too. For a folding umbrella with a button, the size and quality are good. The centre part (the extending pole) needs pressing down myself after the fabric closes. That took a little getting used to, since automatic does not mean the whole pole disappears. It is a bit awkward finding where to put my hand for that. Even so, out of my folding umbrellas this is the one I reach for most.

Veronica Mcgee

Love having this umbrella around for rainy days.

Love having this umbrella around for rainy days. It seems tough, keeps the rain off and a quick wipe with a damp cloth gets it looking nice again. The handle is solid and has a cute shape. We have had plenty of rainy outings with the kids, so it gets used. VERY PLEASED

Greg Stark

A small thing that cheers me up!!!!

A small thing that cheers me up!!!! Rain isn't much fun but reaching for my black umbrella genuinely makes it less annoying. I've had it for years and it's come away on holidays with me, so it hasn't just been sitting by the door looking useful. We had weeks when it seemed to rain every day and out it went again, no fuss. The ribs have stayed neatly attached and it still folds up properly, which is more than I can say for some I've had. There's another tucked away with its tag still on, because I like having a spare of something I enjoy using. THIS ONE has earned its place in my bag. Couldn't be more pleased with it.

Doris Nelson

i've been using it for a few weeks now and it's been good overall.

i've been using it for a few weeks now and it's been good overall. fits in my bag without much trouble, although i notice the weight if i'm carrying it loose. the button makes opening very quick and it draws the canopy shut nicely too. you still have to push the telescoping part down yourself. my hands are really small and the oval handle feels a little wide for me. i imagine someone with more average hands would find it more comfortable.

Jennifer Mays

The shaft needs pushing back down by hand.

A present for a 3 1/2 year old who was very taken with the idea of his own umbrella. Most of the first day was spent pretending it was raining indoors. Certain adults were invited to stand underneath, everyone else apparently had to get wet. We handled the button for him, which opens it quickly and folds the canopy away again. The shaft needs pushing back down by hand. It has stood up to all this enthusiasm and feels quite substantial without looking clumsy.Glad we got it.

Jill Dillon

IT GIVES ME GOOD COVER AND MY CLOTHES STAY DRY.

THIS HAS EASILY BECOME THE FAVOURITE UMBRELLA IN OUR HOUSE, AND I WOULD HATE TO BE WITHOUT IT. WHOEVER LEAVES FIRST WHEN IT IS RAINING CLAIMS IT , WHICH MEANS EVERYONE ELSE HAS TO MAKE DO WITH WHATEVER IS LEFT. IT GIVES ME GOOD COVER AND MY CLOTHES STAY DRY. I MAY HAVE SPENT MORE THAN I USUALLY WOULD ON AN UMBRELLA BUT I DON'T REGRET IT ONE BIT! THIS ONE WAS MONEY WELL SPENT

Victor Franco

This one gives me that good feeling.

The pink makes me smile when I take it out. I am living in Seattle and there is many raining days here, so an umbrella is something I use often. From the picture I thought it will be nice, but in my hand it looks even better. I wanted not only something useful for rain, also something cheerful to see on a dull morning. This one gives me that good feeling. I like using it very much.

Aaron Bird

It's worth taking care rather than pulling at it.

I picked up my first one at a museum a couple of years back.This is a nice looking umbrella, useful coverage without feeling too much to carry. The gray is richer in person than it looked in the photo, which I liked, although I'd expected a slightly lighter shade. A simple colour but really quite elegant. I did get mine caught on something and gave it a tug instead of stopping, so that was my own clumsy handling. It's worth taking care rather than pulling at it. I've ordered another because I still like it so much!

Sabrina Perry

Looks smart and has kept me dry without any fuss.

Looks smart and has kept me dry without any fuss. The loop handle is my one grumble, there isn't quite as much space for my whole hand as I expected (and my hands are small). Still comfortable enough to use, just not a generous grip. Overall I'm happy with it for the price.

Suzanne Rubio

:-)

Picked up several of these for our wedding party and they did exactly what we needed. Only three found their way back to me after the reception, I still use them a lot. Love being able to open one with the button and gather the canopy with another press. The simple look doesn't bother me at all, once it's folded it's tidy enough and I'm staying nice and dry underneath! :-)

Colleen Joyce

The loop handle feels comfortable and the frame seems sturdy.

Good coverage for me (two people need to be very friendly) and fits in my bag, though it takes a bit of room. The loop handle feels comfortable and the frame seems sturdy. Opens readily and the canopy closes neatly. No turning inside out so far, but I do angle it into the breeze rather than fighting it. Have already suggested it to a friend.

Erika Vang

I'd still recommend it.

Decent umbrella with a bit more weight than I'd ideally carry, though it folds down neatly. The frame feels substantial and the button operation is handy. Good cover over my head and shoulders, even wearing a backpack, but two adults would be a squeeze. I'd still recommend it.

Sylvia Vasquez

Keeping dry was the whole point and this has been great for that.

Keeping dry was the whole point and this has been great for that. There's ample room for me, and we can tuck together under it as a couple without carrying two. About a month of changeable weather now, including some proper wet and blustery days, and it has stayed dependable. For the amount of cover and how solid it feels at the price... I'm very happy with my choice!

Billy Wilson

My first Haven umbrella and I like it so far.

My first Haven umbrella and I like it so far. A bit bigger opened out than I expected, but it packs down reasonably small. The button needs a firmer press than I'd like. It closes the canopy automatically, then you have to push the shaft back in yourself. I understand that's how it's meant to work, just wish it did that part too. Over all a nice umbrella and I'm glad I tried it.

Casey Santos

For a decent everyday umbrella I think the price is excellent.

Two of these went to my Mother and sister for Christmas. Both were delighted! They have a really substantial feel, not something that seems flimsy the minute you pick it up. And they DO cope nicely when the wind gets up. For a decent everyday umbrella I think the price is excellent.

Frederick Skinner

Over all I'm impressed and would recommend it.

Ordering umbrellas online hasn't always worked out for me, so it was a relief to have this arrive looking so good. It's handle has a comfortable oval loop, and a press on the button sends the canopy straight out. The whole thing has a solid feel without being awkward to carry. For what I paid, I think it's good value. Over all I'm impressed and would recommend it.

Charles Hendrix

There is certainly enough cover for him.

Our three year old asked for an umbrella for Christmas, so we looked at quite a few online before choosing this one. He is thrilled with his black umbrella and thinks the loop handle is especially interesting. We help him get it ready, then he likes holding it above himself when walking along beside us. There is certainly enough cover for him. The only difficulty is convincing him that it needs to be put away sometimes.He would happily keep it open in every room of the house if we let him.

Tanya Stevens

Nice when mom has no spare hands in the rain!

My four-year-old son was so excited to have his own umbrella! He likes pressing the button to make it open and I like not having to hold everything while getting his umbrella sorted. The canopy gathers with the button too, then we compress the shaft by hand. Nice when mom has no spare hands in the rain! Happy with it!

Bruce Davis

So far, I'm impressed with it.

I hadn't expected such a wide canopy from an umbrella that folds away. My daughter is delighted and has spent the last ten minutes twirling about with it above her head (clearly more entertaining than rain). The frame looks very sturdy, though we haven't had it long enough to say much about durability. So far, I'm impressed with it.

Mackenzie Carey

This one has been a relief.

The walk from the train station is only five blocks, but where I live the wind makes those blocks feel much longer when it rains. Before this umbrella I generally relied on my hood and got home damp anyway. In winter it was especially annoying, and sometimes I'd arrange a ride just to avoid it. I wanted something I could actually carry on that short walk without it becoming a battle. This one has been a relief. It has stayed manageable on my rainy walks and covered me well. I still keep the coat, of course, but I'm not depending on just a hood anymore.

Juan Baird

This was a present, though now I'm tempted to get one too.

This was a present, though now I'm tempted to get one too. The pictures don't quite show how nice the pink looks against the dark underneath. It's not quite the shade I'd imagined from the photo, but still very pretty. I can't say how it will last because it's gone to its new owner. We did try the button when she unwrapped it, and the canopy opened and folded back down nicely.

Francis Richmond

Not exactly a shy choice of brolly but that suits me.

A little bulkier than the tiniest folding umbrellas, but I'm happy to carry it because the coverage is decent. I've been out with it in a bit of wind and nothing troublesome so far. Rain beads on the fabric and a shake gets most of it off before I head indoors.I went for green because I wanted something that stood out rather than another plain dark one. Not exactly a shy choice of brolly but that suits me. I like having some colour visible when I'm waiting to cross the road, particularly on a dull day.

Christina Palmer

The loop handle gives it a substantial feel.

An interesting design. After using it for the first week I can see why the button is useful, especially when putting the umbrella away. You still have to shorten the shaft yourself after the canopy shuts. Not difficult, just another step. The loop handle gives it a substantial feel. A little more expensive then I'd normally pay for an Umbrella. Still, the frame seems strong and I think it should wear well with normal use.
