PACOXI Windproof Travel Umbrella with Teflon Coating

This is the only umbrella that I've come across that's both compact and elegant. As stated in the description, the handle is made of real wood, looks nice, and is very sturdy. It has a nice polish and shows zero signs that it might chip. For a compact umbrella, the height when open is perfect, and the width is also very good. When open, it holds strong and the top spins a few degrees to compensate for wind. I've used this in New York City which has a lot of wind and it held up well. Regular umbrellas will almost always flip inside out from the strong winds in the city, but this one didn't budge. Rain coming down in angles will still get your shoes wet from this, but all small umbrellas have this problem. To come out completely dry, buy a golf umbrella. But you're looking at this one because you want a small umbrella, and this is the best one you're going to find that also looks this nice. A big plus for me was the slip case that came with it.

I really love this umbrella. I thought it looked interesting from the photos but I couldn't quite picture how it would work, so I ordered it and I am SO Glad I did!! This umbrella performs as advertised and is really AWESOME for keeping me DRY. First of all it only requires a gentle touch to push it into place, and folds up quickly. Additionally, it really did keep me dry and was simple to release and fold down even while getting into the car. I also stayed remarkably dry because of the “inside out” design. I found the unique handle design to be portable as I could loop it over my wrist and it was pretty effortless to carry along. I also like the design I got. It looks like the evening sky while closed and in the open position, it’s basic black on the outside and the evening sky is inside over my head. The size of this umbrella is generous for one person without being ginormous like a golf umbrella. So far, I have used this umbrella in torrential rain, but there hasn’t been much wind when I have used it. Please note: This far I have not been able to stabilize the umbrella open while looped through my arm and walking, but in time I might be able to get that to work out. Am, I glad I bought this umbrella? Yes. Would I be looking for a like replacement if something happened to this one? Yes. Would I buy again or recommend to a friend? Yes to both! If you are thinking about getting this, let me just tell you, I think you should!

I was so excited to order this umbrella. I will say the print is soo beautiful, I love that it is on the inside of the umbrella. It works great to get in and out of the car. Yes it works great even with the wind, super sturdy...On the other hand, it does not fold very compact, as it will not fit in your purse and (I always carried my umbrella in my purse). I also find it always takes me about 2-3 attempts to lock it in the open position. I am not sure if I would buy it again.

This umbrella was good for just one use, then I had to throw it away.We live in the desert and don't see a lot of rain. The first time I used this umbrella, I just loved it.Months later, well after Amazon's return date, I went to use it again and the umbrella shot out with such force when it opened that plastic bits flew everywhere. One sharp plastic piece hit me on the cheek just under one eye.Seriously: the plastic is so cheap, the umbrella broke just pressing the button to open it! And this was just the second time it was used!I looked for a way to repair it, but gave up in the end and threw it away.It looks good, but it is cheap and shoddy and I'll be replacing it with another brand.

This umbrella was very well built. To find something made with better materials, or craftsmanship you will go into a completely different price bracket. For the money, this is among the best you will find.I have also owned a Totes umbrella, and on paper these look the same, both about the same price, same size and same general design. Both are even made with carbon fiber, but when you hold this one in your hands and use it, you can tell it's much better quality.Highly recommended!

The overall appearance of the umbrella is very clean. The wooden handle gives it a nice touch. The opening and closing action of the umbrella seem pretty reliable. Its pretty compact when folded up so you can store it in a medium sized backpack with plenty of room to spare. It is really a one person umbrella but you can squeeze two under it if you don't mind being really close together. This has become my go to umbrella!

The umbrella is cute for sure, but it doesn’t really meet my needs. It feels a bit flimsy when you open it (like it won’t stay open), which is a bit disconcerting when you live in the Windy City... but to be fair, I’ve been too nervous to try in very windy conditions. Also, could be just me, but opening this umbrella feels a bit more cumbersome than opening a regular umbrella.Also, I guess I never considered the fact that, because this umbrella is inverted, if you walk around in the rain with it closed (if, for example, you’re just running to your car... or it’s just drizzling and you’re too lazy to open the umbrella - is that just me?), the inside gets wet. That’s clearly my bad for not realizing this logical consideration. Overall, the product is very cool, and maybe I just have high umbrella standards.

A great umbrella for the elements. This umbrella is extremely sturdy and very well made. It is the perfect umbrella for heavy wind, rain and a lot of sun. It is however, not the umbrella for everyday use due to the fact it is large and a little heavier because it is well made.I use it for specific weather and use my smaller umbrella for a little weather.I would purchase it again. The very best umbrella out there.
