Windproof Compact Umbrella for Rain - 42” Travel Umbrella, Portable, Strong, Collapsible to 11”, Automatic Open Close Button, Vented Double Canopy with Fiberglass/Steel Frame, Wind Resistance to 55MPH

I bought this for my son and we both love it. The red color is so vibrant and pretty! The quality is great, and the push-button to open it is super practical. It’s also very easy to close, but my favorite part is the vent on top. It lets the wind pass through so the umbrella doesn't flip inside out on gusty days. My son is happy with it and it feels really sturdy. Highly recommend!

I have been repurchasing this umbrella every 5 years or so for over 10 years. The quality is impeccable and the umbrella really can sustain strong winds without bending. It’s portable, easy drying, and effective at blocking a rain shower. The only thing to note is the umbrella takes force to push the head down. It auto-shuts at the press of a button, then you must forcefully push the head closed. I’m on the small side so it takes effort, but it’s worth the trade off of a well made, sturdy item. I recommend over other brands or options.

This umbrella was purchased after my other umbrella was lost. I keep it in my work bag (a Vera Bradley tote). It's not as compact as I was hoping, but it's very good quality. It has a vent system that is supposed to prevent it from inverting, but I haven't used it in significant wind yet. The handle has a silky rubber feel. The button to release the umbrella has two arrows in a light grey color. There is a nylon (i think, it feels and looks like a show string, but flat) wrist strap. Easily goes over my hand and hangs on my wrist. The umbrella pops out with a good amount of force after pressing the release. It collapses easily with the button as well. The button does not collapse the handle portion, only the umbrella canopy. The handle has to be pushed in manually and requires a good amount of force. For me, it requires two hands. Things to think about: -the quick release is very convienient, especially when carrying my one year old and trying to avoid getting wet - easy to hold umbrella to shield youself while getting in the car and press button to collapse after you're done before shutting the car door. HOWEVER, when you release and collapse the umbrella, it sprays water all over the inside of the car door before you close it, but most likely is already wet if it's raining. - If you collapse the umbrella canpoy, but leave the umbrella handle extended, the next time you press the button, it will not automatically pop open the canopy, you have to close the handle fully then press the button. I find this inconvienient in the car because the umbrella is wet and you have to handle it and close it before you can pop it open again at your next destination (if you follow what I'm describing). - I like the nice bright red, easy to spot on dreary days and in the dark. I do not believe the material is reflective, but I have not officially tested it. Overall, I would purchase it again and recommended this umbrella to my mother in law.

Great size and color. Easy to open and close. Good quality and value for the money. Really good quality material and great for traveling.

Definitely a larger unbrella,very sturdy,lot better than my other one

Love the umbrella. Size, quality and price

This review is for the 42 inch 'travel' size version. This was ~my 4th repurchase. They are sturdy and long-lasting, but umbrellas are easy to lose! I always have one in 'stock' for when my husband inevitably loses his! It has a wind-proof design (a water-proof 'slit' in the canopy), which is a essential to stay dry in the gusty storms that we experience in the mid-West. Little hard to collapse down (takes 2 hands), but that means it opens with just 1 push of a button... Will keep buying while they are still available

I have only had my umbrella for a few days, but so far it works great! I travel quite a bit and am on the road more than 50% of the time. Because I travel so much a very compact umbrella is important to me. The EEZ-Y is lightweight and compact. It fits in my backpack, or my suitcase, without taking up too much room. A golf umbrella is really good for providing a large footprint and keeping the rain off of you, but they aren't exactly small and don't pack well. The footprint of the EEZ-Y is significantly smaller comparatively, but it's perfect for walking the crowded streets of NYC when it's raining without hitting all of the other umbrellas on the sidewalk. You might be able to squeeze two people under it as long as you both don't mind getting a little wet, and you really like each other. Otherwise, for me, it's just about perfect. I read several reviews where people complained that they could only get a few fingers on the handle. It is definitely a small, nubby handle. If you have big hands, you won't be able to get more than two or three fingers on it. I have fairly normal-sized hands and I can grip it with my thumb and three fingers no problem. The grip is also rubbery and provides plenty of leverage and grip to stabilize the umbrella. However, if you want a larger grip you may want to look at a different sized umbrella. Again, I was going for something that is compact. The one-touch button for opening and closing the umbrella works just fine. Keep in mind that when you close the umbrella that it doesn't fold all the way back down. The button will close the canopy, and then you must manually collapse the umbrella. This is under tension, but unless you have problems with arthritis or some other physical disability this shouldn't be an issue. You could even push it into the floor if it was too difficult, but I don't find it to be an issue. I also have been amazed at EEZ-Y’s customer service! When I registered my umbrella I made a note that I thought the color was a bit off, and that the grey looked a bit too green. EEZ-Y promptly arranged to have the umbrella replaced with a different color – without me asking! They have been extremely polite and responsive to emails throughout the process. Top notch customer service! Other than the grey color being slightly off I have yet to find any faults with the construction, materials, or operation of the umbrella.So far, I am really enjoying the umbrella and the service offered by EEZ-Y. I would definitely recommend this to someone!
