I have used this umbrella a few times now and it has done its job (i.e. kept me dry). I have not used it in strong winds yet, but based on other reviews and my own evaluation of this umbrella's sturdiness I am confident it will hold up better than my previous umbrellas. The compact size let's me keep it in the side-pocket of my large tote-bag, but the umbrella's circumference is big enough to easily cover one person but it is tight for two people. When my husband and I walked together underneath the umbrella we needed to walk with arms around one another to both fit underneath. Overall, I am very satisfied and considering buying another one to keep in my car.

I used it during the rainy season in Mexico. It is easy to open and compact enough to fit in my backpack. It is also large enough that two people can easily fit under it. In fact it is so great that someone stole mine! So I bought another one in a brighter color, figuring I could see it from afar in case the second one also gets stolen. I absolutely love the color!

It has been raining like crazy and I walk our dogs daily. I needed a nice sturdy umbrella, one that would not fall apart in the wind. I ordered this umbrella and it does the job perfectly. It is very sturdy, yet not so heavy. The color is vibrant and the quality is great. Nice value.

By far the nicest compact umbrella that I have ever purchased. I have bought over 10 so far to use in all of our vehicles and also to give away to business associates too. The quality is excellent and the shape of the umbrella really helps with wind, sun, or rain. You will love the product and the seller follows up and offers excellent customer satisfaction.

I love this umbrella! It performs amazingly in the wind, it's very small and light. It is lighter than my toddler's umbrella. Even with the weight of hers, she has almost lost it a few times in the wind while I can easily hold onto this lightweight umbrella thanks to the ventilation layer.
