Umbrella, Compact Strong Windproof Automatic Umbrellas, Folding Lightweight, Portable Travel Golf Umbrella for Rain

I've been really impressed with this umbrella. It feels incredibly sturdy and has holds up surprisingly well in strong winds – even when particularly enthusiastic gusts turn it completely inside out, it just snaps back into shape without anything bending or breaking. I also really like the colour and overall style. It has a slightly gothic feel to it without being so over-the-top that it looks out of place as an everyday umbrella, which is very much my kind of thing. The only downside is the weight. It's definitely heavier than your average compact umbrella, so you do notice it when carrying it around in a bag all day. Honestly, though, I'll happily take the extra weight in exchange for something that doesn't immediately sacrifice itself to the elements. Overall, really durable, looks great and feels like it's actually built to last - very happy with this one.

Been using these for around four years now and can happily recommend for the most part; the umbrella is reasonably sturdy, quite compact and looks very good - it also dries quite quickly when left open. It's fairly good at dealing with wind and rain but does struggle into harsher conditions - it can be braced effectively into the wind but is easily blown inside out if the wind catches it from the other direction. It's fairly durable at that; it has to be severe winds to cause damage. It's a good size, though the umbrella's design and materials seem to have changed in the last year or so - it's slightly smaller than it used to be and it uses more plastic than before, but still a good product for its pricing. The customer support team is also very prompt and willing to help if issues occur; I had a recent buy break far sooner than expected and it was replaced within a few weeks free of charge.

Quite simply, I am very pleased with this umbrella. It comes with a cover which has not been re-applied since it was removed shortly after I received the parcel and unwrapped it. It's just another step in the process and, to be honest, the small strap which keeps the unfurled umbrella wrapped up neatly is more than sufficient. As of the time of writing this review, the cover has found its way into the bottom kitchen drawer where it will probably live out its life in comfort alongside a plethora of other 'better hang onto that, just in case' items. The umbrella itself, though. Nice. There's a weight to it which simply adds to the sturdy feel, but not enough to make it unwieldy or tiresome on the arm when in use. Most likely this comes from the solid shaft and ribs which, once again, give a certain peace of mind that it won't give at the first strong gust of wind. In fact, I suspect that if you were to unfurl it during gale force winds you may find yourself on a Mary Poppins-esque journey with the umbrella as opposed to it simply folding inside out. The single button operation is very 'positive' and responsive. One press and POP - it's unfurled. Another press and another pop, the umbrella collapses in at the end of the extended shaft, requiring you to push it down to the handle in order to wrap the strap around to store it away. The canopy, when unfurled, is generous enough to provide for one person comfortably. Since purchase I've not experienced cause to use the umbrella as the weather has remained remarkably mild during my excursions into the outside world, but as I walk my daughter to school and back I do carry this with me now - just in case. I reserve the right to amend this review at a later date should I find any issues with it preventing me from being soaked, but if there are no revisions you may take it as a positive sign that the umbrella has done its job to keep me dry during these daily walks to and fro. In summary: Nice and sturdy feel with quick and positive open/close action. Very pleased to welcome this into my armoury against the onslaught of the British weather. :-)

Treated myself to the red and black version. I love it, extremely classy look. Very compact, and I like that it comes with a cover, which many don't these days. Handle is a comfortable grip, and the opening action is smooth and responsive when the button is pushed. Not ideal for sun protection because of the black outer canopy, but very nice to see rain beading away, and it dries super quick. Is it wind resistant? Of course not - no umbrella in this price bracket will be, and anything stronger than a light breeze will have it inside out. Oh, and three year guarantee! Big bonus. I can highly recommend this brolly for the money.

Great quality but somewhat let down by the fact they sent the wrong colour. I requested the Blue sky with clouds and got the plain red. My daughter was quite upset by this.

This was bought as a book light, however I've found it to be much more useful. When I first opened the packaging I thought that it looked a little large to be a book light as it has a bigger base than I was expecting. That larger base makes it more useful though and despite not being paper thin, the whole light is really quite light. I'll give my thoughts on it as a book light first before moving to it's other benefits. The light attaches easily via a strong clip to either a book or kindle - as it's so light you hardly notice it's there. The clip has a rubberised end for grip and to protect the surface it's attached to - it's also hinged to it has a firm grip on many different surfaces, not just books. There a two settings for brightness and I find the lowest setting is perfect for reading. The base is made of strong plastic and the articulated arm can be put in nearly any position and will stay there. I can't give an exact figure for how long the battery lasts between charges as I've yet to run it down! Let's just say it's clearly many hours and you're not going to need to charge it very often. The battery is rechargeable and comes with a charge cable included. Whilst I bought it as a book light, the larger base means that the lamp can also be used a freestanding lamp on any flat surface and won't topple over. It can also be clipped to desks, work surfaces and, I've found, even poles, so you can position nearly anywhere that you'd like some extra light (this is where the higher brightness setting comes into its own!). This could be at a desk or for shedding some light whilst doing arts and crafts etc. The included power cable means that there's no need to worry about the battery running flat as you can easily keep it plugged in when using it in these circumstances. Superbly well made and much more useful than just a book light, highly recommended.

Don't bother. Broke within weeks of using. Forgot about the warranty.

Love it! Small compact and easy to use! Need no strength to open it however you do need to punch it back it with some strength till you hear a click! Works pretty well with the wind has only flipped once at really high winds.

El paraguas cumple su función y protege bien de la lluvia, pero me esperaba una sensación de mayor robustez. Se abre y se cierra sin problemas, aunque con viento fuerte no transmite tanta confianza como esperaba.

Le parapluie pliant automatique de TechRise est un excellent produit ! J'ai été impressionné(e) par sa qualité de construction et sa durabilité. Il m'a protégé(e) efficacement contre les intempéries, avec une étanchéité parfaite même sous une pluie battante. De plus, le mécanisme automatique d'ouverture et de fermeture fonctionne à la perfection, ce qui le rend extrêmement pratique à utiliser, surtout lorsque les mains sont occupées. Bien que j'aie rencontré une fois un retournement, le parapluie est resté intact, ce qui témoigne de sa robustesse. En somme, je recommande vivement ce parapluie TechRise pour sa fiabilité, sa praticité et son excellent rapport qualité-prix.

Efter ett par dagar, och utan att ha använt det ute i någon vind alls så slutade det fungera. Går inte att fälla upp helt, och det går heller inte att fälla ihop. Fem stjärnor dock till amazon som gjorde återbetalning omgående.

Llego en tiempo y forma. Esta muy bien, es regulable de intensidad y luz fría/cálida con lo cuales menos es cansado para los ojos. Un plus tremendo que sea recargable USB, tenia uno a pilas y duraban poquísimo y era un gasto respectabele. Lo uso para leer en la cama y en viajes largos. Muy recomendable para eso fines. Pesa muy poco y tiene un agarre sólido.

Ombrello funzionale e ben costruito, ad un prezzo molto conveniente. SPEDIZIONE (curata da Amazon) rapida: ordinato di pomeriggio, spedito alle 5 del mattino dopo e consegnato entro i tempi promessi CONFEZIONAMENTO Oltre al suo sacchetto (dello stesso nylon dell'ombrello) il prodotto è confezionato in una busta protettiva di robusta plastica trasparente, dotata di bottone di chiusura a pressione. Personalmente ho apprezzato il non utilizzo di ulteriori inutili confezioni esterne. FUNZIONAMENTO Il meccanismo automatico sia di apertura che di chiusura (sul quale, ammetto, ero un po' scettico) funziona egregiamente e non dà l'impressione di essere delicato o potersi inceppare facilmente. Le dimensioni ed il materiale dell'impugnatura sono sufficienti per garantire una presa salda. MATERIALI e qualità costruttiva La qualità costruttiva di questo ombrello è veramente notevole, dato il prezzo contenutissimo. Come indicato nella descrizione, il nylon è di buono spessore, i segmenti terminali delle asticelle sono in materiale molto flessibile, l'albero centrale è a sezione poligonale e di generose dimensioni. Anche i meccanismi delle "articolazioni" che permettono alle asticelle di piegarsi (l'elemento più critico e fragile, per la mia esperienza, nella maggior parte degli ombrelli pieghevoli) sono realizzati con particolare cura e con montaggi precisi. Nel complesso l'oggetto dà l'impressione di una ottima robustezza, di gran lunga superiore a quella di molti altri ombrelli ben più costosi che ho avuto in passato (e che sono durati poco..) IN SINTESI: PRO - robustezza - comodità d'uso - rapporto qualità/prezzo - ottima fattura e materiali - packaging sufficientemente protettivo ma senza sprechi CONTRO - nessuno
