Inverted Umbrella,Double Layer Reverse Windproof Teflon Repellent Umbrella for Car and Outdoor Use, UPF 50+ Big Stick Umbrella with C-Shaped Handle and Carrying Bag

I've been looking at these umbrellas for a long time because I thought the idea of an inverted umbrella was brilliant, however I could not justify buying one because I have so many others. That being said all of the others I have basically suck and I'm never happy with them. With my other umbrellas they're all small enough to keep in my car or bag, however without fail after a few uses when you push the button to open or close it, eventually nothing will happen. Not to mention the wind will push them any way it wants. So when this particular umbrella came up on a lightning deal for a pretty amazing price I felt like I had no choice but to finally pull the trigger and buy it. It was serendipitous the day it was delivered because it started pouring while I was outside and the box with the umbrella was on my front door. I ran over, opened the box, took out the umbrella and opened it and it was love at first sight. I've never had an umbrella that was made as well as this. That being said I usually go for the $5 or $6 umbrella so you may take that with a grain of salt. Regardless this is a sturdy umbrella. It's also very attractive to look at. I love that the bottom layer is one color and the top layer is another. Not to mention the fact that it has two layers! I've never had an umbrella that had more than one, so I was pleasantly surprised. It's the perfect size for one person and it's definitely wind resistant because of those layers. The inverted nature of the umbrella assures that you will get not one drop of water on you when you close it. And it stands up on its own to dry. The handle is also designed perfectly, especially if your trying to do two things at once. Just slip your arm through the handle and now you have both hands. The only downfall of this umbrella is that when it's closed, it's not compact enough to fit into a bag or purse. In the car you'd have to keep it on the floor. So it's not super convenient, but I can live with that.Besides that small infraction, I never thought I would be so happy or write such a glowing review for an umbrella, but here I am. I would buy another tomorrow if something tragic happened to this one. If this umbrella got stolen I would probably call the cops, that's how much I love it 😍

My family has gone through a few cheap, flimsy umbrellas lately and I wanted to find a good, sturdy one that we can rely on. We live in Southern California, so we don’t need umbrellas often, but it’s been a rainy winter. This umbrella has a smart design, cute print, and is very sturdy! It hardly budged in almost 20 mph winds and was great in a random heavy downpour. I love the inverted design and push button. It makes it easy to get in and out of the car while staying dry and the hook handle has come in handy as well! I’m already planning on getting one or two more! Definitely recommend!

Getting into the car has always been a problem. Here it is pouring down buckets of rain, yet you have to stand there with your door open wide enough to shut down your umbrella and get it inside the car... where it quickly drips on you... after you've already gotten totally soaked even sitting on the seat with the door open. Now, it is a breeze and much much quicker to get the umbrella down... of course, no more soaking you as you drag it inside the vehicle. I just deposit it on the back floorboard and I'm a whole lot dryer than I used to be with a conventional umbrella. And, closing it up as you go thru a door... my heat be still... this works so so much better. My husband is now jealous. I go outside with my dogs and use this umbrella... and coming back in is so much more simple. I can actually get in the door without holding it open while I fight to get it down and dousing myself as I do... It's a lot quicker and the results are a whole lot dryer now!

I had gone to a local festival with my boyfriend & his daughter. I had 2 umbrellas in the car. One was a cheap travel one u keep in your purse & this was the other one. 2 people can be under it & stay dry. I’m able to use my phone since the handle of umbrella hooks on my wrist. Very pleased & beautiful design too! Can’t wait to use it again. We are door greeters at church & help people get inside without getting soaked. Great product!

I really like the C handle on these, and everyone who sees me using them asks where/how to find them. I like that I can wear it on my arm and go about my business. I do hold it when it rains, especially if it's windy, but I wanted something that wouldn't get in my way when I'm not using it. It's great for running errands when you see those rain clouds are planning to drench you on your way back to your car later. I also really like that the wet portion folds into the umbrella. It's a little easier to control how much it drips when you get into your car or a building after getting rained on. They last a while, too. I've had multiple umbrellas like this (probably from a variety of sellers, but they've all been basically the same). I bought most of them two or three years ago and only just recently did one finally give in to its age, and it was one of the ones I kept in my hot car. My other ones are still going strong.

Appears to be well made. Opens and closes smoothly. Kept me mostly dry in moderate rain. No experience with any wind. Canopy is a bit small, certainly for one person only and C-handle is very small (though I do have XL hands) - see photos. My 5'10"-ish wife likes it more than I do.
