GAOYAING 46 Inch Large Automatic Travel Umbrella, 12 Ribs Windproof Design, Heavy Duty Strong 210T Pongee Fabric Folding Umbrella with Sleeve, Navy Blue

Bought it to take with me to Hawaii because the winds can really kick up on the beach… This umbrella is extremely sturdy and well-made. I love the size of it and the dome shape keeps the rain and the sun off!

I like the fact that this umbrella was advertised as a lifetime warranty and this was an uncommon thing. However, the manufacture was confident enough to provide this warranty ( knowing that the warranty can only be as good as they continue to exist to build up their brand) . The color looked pleasant for men or women . I appreciated he fact that this was built for windproof. Last fall, I was on a trip to New England . Having two umbrella, I learned to appreciate a quality windproof against the other one in a strong wind/rain afternoon). I took a star off because I was looking for an umbrella with more compact design for travelling and this umbrella failed short of my desire (personal thing).

Great umbrella. Lifetime warranty.

It was hesitant to open on its first use; the ribs stayed closed, leading me to believe it was broken. After repeated uses, it opens a little smoother. It arrived with the velcro stitching coming loose, and it looks like the edge of a fingerprint in some ink on the button. Pushing the button to close makes it sound like a party popper has been discharged. It’s difficult to close completely using the “regular” pull down method, so using my hand on top to compress it completely was easier.

This umbrella is compact and will easily fit in a work bag. It includes a sleeve for when not in use. When fully extended the coverage is good. I had a backpack on and both the pack and myself were dry. The umbrella is extremely tight, meaning it opened and closed effortlessly but when extended it felt locked in place. It would take a lot of wind to invert this thing. Overall it is a good umbrella, I do wish it were a little bit wider and curved down a touch more.

The media could not be loaded. Larger Than The Average Compact UmbrellaI was surprised how big this umbrella when opened up is. We haven’t had any rain lately so I have not tested it but it seems to be well built.The mechanism tha opens and closes it is powerful and easy enough to use. It opens and closes with some force so be carful of who or what is around you when you operate it. I do not suggest letting kids use it of have it around small kids who may play with it.I will be keeping it in my car so I can open the door a crack, hit the button and not get wet while trying to open the umbellar the old fashion way.

The media could not be loaded. This umbrella is great. The case is hard to put back on once you take it off, but it works good in heavy rain, as well as in the heat of the day. I’ve had the privilege to use them at the football games with my son, and in the stands, when the wind blows, and it actually was sturdy and withheld it. Definitely a keeper.

This looks to be an excellent quality umbrella. The open close mechanism is snappy and works well. The vanes feel sturdy and the fabric is nice quality. Unfortunately, mine arrived broken, but since there were no broken pieces in the packaging, it clearly was broken before it left the warehouse, which feels more like a QC error.
