2-in-1 Walking Sticks Umbrella - Windbreak Ribs Walking Cane Umbrella Lightweight, Heavy-Duty Frame- Ideal Father's Gift for Climbing, Hiking, Hanging Out on Raining

This 2-in-1 cane umbrella is exactly as advertised. The handle is rich looking even though it's made of plastic, but it has a smooth and solid feel. It is solid, hard and durable type plastic--not light and brittle cheap plastic. The grip is firm. The umbrella canopy is wide enough for two people, and instantly springs open at the touch of a button farther up the handle. Just pull down on the slide to close it with a click. Ribs of the canopy are strong and flexible to withstand strong gusts of wind. I haven't tried it in the rain yet, but given the over all high quality, I assume it repels water. The cane is solid and has a strong shaft with a regular style nonskid tip. The shaft comes free from the umbrella section so that you can hold the umbrella in one hand, and the cane shaft in the other, so as to continue walking without getting wet. It is possible to walk with just the ferrule pointed shaft for a short distance, but for a long walk I recommend leaving the shaft in the umbrella section to get the benefit of the cane tip and greater height. There is a carry sleeve that both protects the cane umbrella, and that can be slung over your shoulder for easy carrying. I use the umbrella for emergency backup in case of rain or if my rollator sustains damage so that I can still make it home using the cane feature. By the way the shaft is pointed enough to use as a self defense weapon when employed in a forward thrust stabbing motion. The only improvement I would suggest is to make the cane height adjustable. Being five feet ten it's just adequate for my needs, but for a person much taller--I don't knowww!!? As you can tell though over all I am a very satisfied customer, and would generally recommend this product.

This is an excellent cane/umbrella. The cane cannot be adjusted so it may not be useful for shorter people. I'm 5'6" and it's pretty maxed out for me. The canopy is solid and very well built. The cane can be used with or without the umbrella.

I bought this for its combination use and to test its potential as a self defense tool. I'm aware that the cane is not marketed for self defense, I just wanted to see if it would hold up. So that's not part of my star review, I'm just answering the question for like-minded people. I believe that the cane would work for maybe 1 or 2 hard strikes and would be effective as a jabbing implement, but it's certainly not something that will stand up to on-going collisions. The metal, though sturdy, feels hollow and is only about 3/4ths of an inch in diameter.The overall umbrella got 4 stars, for a simple design flaw. You have to open the umbrella, to hit the release button to withdraw the cane. So, you have to undo the Velcro, unwind the umbrella, open it, hit the button, and then withdraw the cane. This is an inconvenient design. The push button is at little risk of being hit by mistake, and if it were higher up in the handle, it would make withdrawing much easier.Overall, a solid investment.

This has lasted way longer than expected, I use it both as a cane and umbrella every chance I get only recently has the first issue appeared; the plastic handle pieces is slightly loose. Hasn't fallen out even when shuffled about in the car, etc. The velcro is holding up fine through some miracle. Umbrella action never had any issues. Great product. Even the rubber nub on the end is firmly attached.

This is possibly one of the handiest items to have in possession. Most days it's a very handy walking "stick" with an umbrella conveniently attached; on other days it can help keep you steady. That it separates into an umbrella and a walking cane is the coolest thing about it! If you need a cane for ANY reason, consider one of these.

Rubber tip readily slips on hard smooth surfaces such as: tile floors, smooth concrete floors like you would find in most parking garages, and some sidewalks. Need adjustable handle.My advice would be to change the rubber tip on the umbrella for your safety. The tiny rubber tip on the cane itself may not last a day. My advice again, just don't use the cane by itself, unless for self defense? I'm sure there are other options out there, so investigate before you buy this one.Dan
