Travel Umbrella Windproof Vented Double Canopy with Teflon Coating - Portable Compact Foldable Lightweight Design and High Wind Resistance

This is a very well made strong umbrella but is slightly heavy. Opening and closing smooth operation. It looks good and does its job of keeping you dry as it a good size.

This is the third umbrella of this product line I've bought. Only because lost mine after three years of use in London. (So two for myself, one for the missus). It's sturdier that it looks and is of good quality,. Offfers a great value for money. Easy to open and close.

This is mostly a great umbrella. It is a lovely cheerful canary yellow and provides excellent coverage from rain. I have taken it out in very windy weather and so far it has resisted every gust. The spring action means it opens quickly and effortlessly (although make sure no-one is standing in its path!) and the cover has a nice velcro seal that makes it easy to put on quickly over a wet umbrella (other umbrellas I have had have been very hard to get back into their covers; no problems with this one). So far, so good. So why only four stars? Two small gripes. The first is that the umbrella is a little heavier than I was expecting, and is a bit too big to fit in a handbag. That may be an acceptable trade-off for an umbrella that is strong and robust. But the second gripe is bigger, and one that over reviewers have also noted - the umbrella is very hard to fold down. You have to push it really quite forcefully, and at a difficult angle, to get the spring mechanism to lock into place. One time I thought I had it but not quite, and it sprung back up, sending the base of the umbrella plunging into my stomach, which really winded me. Without this design flaw I would have given it five stars.

I’d been researching quote heavily in a good quality umbrella after my years of buying cheap “breaks after one windy day” ones from the likes of budget friendly Primark. Firstly, I purchased the forest green colour which looks great, rich green and looks premium. Do note, this umbrella is more weighty and larger than your typical British handbag umbrellas but there’s a very handy clip attached to the cover that clips nicely to the hardware of my handbags. I bought this umbrella due to the typical dreary rain all day, all week weather predicted in Scotland for a joint birthday holiday trip. The umbrella did not disappoint and it covered me (a plus size lady) confidently. I would say it would be a push to cover two persons, perhaps it can with the expectation you may get dropped on the edges. The automatic open mechanism works well but as others suggested, it does take a thorough push to “reload” the spring. My tip is, after pressing the button to close the umbrella, physically drive the umbrella to the ground until the pole reduces in length and you hear the audible “click”. The handle of the umbrella felt practically and ergonically designed for the hand to grab onto. I would highly recommend this umbrella to anyone who’s after a high quality umbrella that offers a spring loaded open and close mechanism.

Really good quality for this type of umbrella. Very sturdy and I love the spring loaded button to open the umbrella.

Great umbrella, and very robust just as described.

Previously, because of the frequency with which I lose umbrellas, I had been buying very cheap models, but these broke even more quickly than I lost them, so I decided to go upmarket a bit, although the Ergonomad wasn`t so very much more expensive than many of the ones which broke in the wind. I liked this one`s sturdiness, ease of operation, & the fact that, because of the vents, it so far hasn’t blown inside out in high winds, although that hasn’t really been tested very severely yet, because I haven’t been out much in bad weather - in fact I haven’t been out much at all, because at 78 with diabetes, I have heeded the government’s advice to stay indoors, & have remained healthy. The Ergonomad was a bit heavier than I had been used to, but that is a small price to pay for sturdiness & longevity - IF I don`t lose it (!), but this model has a retaining strap which you can attach to your wrist. The only improvement I can think of is that perhaps some means of indicating a bit more clearly which direction to roll the umbrella when refurling it. I keep ending up with the umbrella rolled up, but unable to fasten it because the fastenings are rolled up as well! The umbrella opens automatically: is it really impossible to devise a means of closing it too? Not that I can think of a way, but then that’s not my job. One more suggestion: I would appreciate the option of buying replacement covers, as I usually manage to lose mine - nearly as often as I lose the whole thing! Alternatively, provide somewhere to store the cover when the umbrella is in use. However, maybe they wouldn’t sell many umbrellas if they solved the losing it problem. I bet 3/4 of their sales are replacements. P.S Oh, & It`s great at keeping the rain off one, too!

I've had a long faithful Ergonauts travel umbrella that I gotten (used!) from London many years ago, and when it finally gave up I knew I had to find the same brand to replace it. It looks elegant, and has a soft loop on the handle, where it also has a single button to control opening and closing it. It's clever design allows the wind to escape under a flap so you don't get it twisted out of your hand when the current picks up. It's big enough to cover more than just your head as well and comes with a neat slipcase for quick and easy storage. Overall I'm really happy with it.. however(!) it feels just a tiny bit flimsier than the previous one I had. Hence the 4 stars.

Good sturdy umbrella

Nella categoria degli ombrelli da viaggio, è leggermente più pesante degli altri, ma per avere la qualità della robustezza non si può fare almeno. Il manico è molto confortevole, ergonomico e antiscivolo con cinghia per vincolarlo al polso. Il pulsante per l'apertura e chiusura automatica bisogna fare una certa pressione (ottimo in caso di pressione accidentale), nel chiudere l'asta bisogna fare una certa pressione con la mano. La parte scheletrica (asta, molle e stecche) sembrano di ottima qualità, la sensazione è di avere materiale ben fatto (vedremo la durata nel tempo). Il materiale del telo è fatto con tessuto repellente all'acqua (per capirci, si comporta tipo quando si applica la c'era sull'auto), il telo a 3/4 verso il centro ha delle aperture per il passaggio di vento forte (per evitare il capovolgimento dello stesso) la pioggia non entra nelle aperture perché il telo è accavallato uno sull'altro. La sacca copri-ombrello è dello stesso materiale del telo, l'apertura per riporlo all'interno e agevolata con un lembo allungato con velcro/scratch a strappo di chiusura. Guardando le dimensioni per una persona di corporatura normale copre bene dalla pioggia, in due è un po piccolo. In conclusione, a oggi, provato più volte anche in situazioni di raffiche di vento abbastanza forti, posso dire che vale la pena comprarlo, sicuramente ci saranno di migliori ma per il prezzo pagato è un ottimo prodotto qualità-prezzo. Se continua a darmi la stessa sicurezza di oggi ne comprerò sicuramente altri.

I really like this umbrella. It’s lightweight, easy to use, and dries quickly. The case stays connected to it and the umbrella is very convenient to carry or fit into a pocket. I also appreciate the wind resistance. It’s a great little umbrella!

Have been a pleasure using it. It seems sturdy & so far with the sydney weather it's still functioning. However the life time warranty wasn't meant for Australia ( only for USA residents in USA) so that was a disappointment.

Nice and sturdy, large enough, and it doesn't feel cheap. Great umbrella
