G4FreeG4Free 62 Inch Portable Golf Umbrella Large Oversize Double Canopy Vented Windproof Waterproof Automatic Open Stick Umbrellas for Men and Women(Dark Green)

I was tired of paying about $20 for large, golf-type umbrellas that broke after banging around my minivan or that broke a rib or stretcher after getting blown off the porch. I need a large umbrella. I work at a university, and when it rains, I need to be able to keep myself dry for a quarter of a mile between my parking garage and my office. I was tired of smaller umbrellas, so I opted to get the larger golf umbrellas to stay try.Unfortunately, I discovered that the cheaper umbrellas have plastic ribs and stretchers. If I left my umbrella on the back porch to dry out and it bounced wrong, the plastic would snap. I tried the more expensive umbrellas from the drug store. These have metal ribs and stretchers. They still break with comparative ease.I am delighted that the G4Free umbrella's construction is considerably heavier. I waited to write this review because I wanted to see the durability and wind resistance. It is quite durable. The venting gives it some wind Resistance, so it won't turn inside out as easily as the non-vented versions. My version has a collapsible handle, but I will warn future customers that it collapses to about 18 inches--way too big for most bags, but I didn't get it to collapse into that kind of space anyway. I just wanted something that would fit easily under a car seat.Overall I am delighted with the construction and quality. It is only a couple of bucks more than the drug store umbrellas, but so much better quality. I feel as if I could own this umbrella for years and it would hold up just fine.Update:I still stand by the above review. The quality and durability of this umbrella has far exceeded my expectations. I don't worry about a random gust of wind blowing it across the porch and shattering a rib. I feel as if I can drop it and it won't break. This is a HUGE improvement over my experience with other umbrellas.However, I did get a gust of wind that managed to invert the umbrella. Unfortunately, the gust didn't just merely invert the umbrella. Instead, as it resisted the gust, it inverted in a kind of ripple, wave-like motion that put additional torque on the joints where the ribs would fold. This broke one of the spines.I contacted G4Free customer service. They were very understanding and sent out a replacement. I received it promptly and I am still an extremely satisfied customer. I am very impressed with their customer follow-up!

What a 62 inch umbrella as a gift. I was surprised by it size when folded. Then we were having 3 inches of rain and I used it. Very easy to open and close, kept dry, and the wind had no effect on it. I’m going to buy another for me.

I have to replace this umbrella about every 6 to 8 months usually. This time around, 1 lil gust snapped it. It was only my 3 time using it. I'm going to give it another shot though. Out of the 4 that I've purchased, this is the first to break so quickly.

I love this umbrella 🌂...very well made and large enough to cover 2 individuals from the rain. I went ahead and ordered 2 more for gifts.😀

Very nice. Its light and very durable. Very easy to use and no issues with it.

Great price and handles the chicago winds well.

Purchased for college student. Loved the compact folded size and large coverage when opened. Unfortunately, broke after minimal use. Overall not impressed with quality of this product.

This is a really huge 62 inch umbrella that can be folded down well to a mere 18 inches long, but it's not the smallest one that G4Free offers - there's another 62 inch that goes down to just 15 inches. However, this model is the only one that offers more color ranges, like this cheerful sky blue color. If the color matters, I'd go with this one, but if the folded length is more important, then the other model makes more sense.

big and compact as the same time

Love this umbrella & a very high quality product. The wind vents are great they really add to this being one of the best umbrellas I've bought.

Overall satisfied with the product. Big size and light weight.

The media could not be loaded.  Je voulais un parapluie pliable mais très large et pas encombrant comme les longs. Celui-ci est beaucoup plus grand que la majorité des parapluies des gens en ville et il s'ouvre vite et facilement juste à partir d'un bouton. Aussi il est imperméable et donc le tissu n'absorbe pas l'eau ce qui permet de le ranger 2min après l'avoir utilisé sans pour autant mouiller le sac de rangement. J'adore c'est une bonne affaire.
