Windproof Travel Umbrella

I was in 2 minds if this Umbrella really would be windproof. Well I tried it out today and here is my honest review. I live in a windy coastal town of Ilfracombe, Devon and we certainly get our fair share of wind and rain here. Going for my daily stroll around the local park it started to drizzle so I opened the Umbrella with a touch of a button and was impressed at the speed of erection. The overall size is good but I'd score the handle comfort just 7/10 as I found the weight a little on the heavy side. Whilst standing at the end of the park pond admiring the ducks...the wind had started building up and the brollie took a little shaking but was still good and sturdy. All was well UNTIL...... a gust of wind and I felt the brollie lift up a few inches and I had to hold on firmly. Concerned I would let go as the Umbrella slightly lifted again I grabbed the hold of handle with my other hand as tight as possible and as soon as I did, my whole body lifted off the ground and began slowly raising into the air. Scared I was going to fall I gripped the handle tighter and put on a brave smile as my feet past just inches away from the heads of shocked children who stopped feeding the ducks as they gasped and stared up at me. I was at least 20 ft in the air by now and being scared of heights I closed my eyes as the brollie lifted me over the duck pond and even higher into the air. The brollie felt sturdy and kept me dry from the light showers which i score 9/10 but when a gust of wind came it made a sudden voilent judder, I opened my eyes and saw that I was heading in the direction of the Harbour. I was flying over the rooftops of the harbour shops and got caught a stunning birdeye view of the little chapel on a hill and the Verity Statue. The rain had stopped now and people below where looking up and pointing at me and a seagull flew close, I forgot my fears and let go of the handle with one hand as i reached out to stroke it and missed. Said gull wasnt interested in getting affection from me, he had already made a fast decend to a bunch of unaware holiday makers and the carnage that followed in the next few seconds was shocking. Child screaming, mother shaking her fist, chips sprawled over the floor and the dad yelling bad language as he chased seagull who was now making his way out to sea with his mouthful of chips. That's when I saw it... the Bristol Channel. Comming to my senses and remembering I'm flying and was heading out to sea I started to panic and began kicking my legs in hope that I would lower. Then.... I was in total shock.... to my left, a short distant away from me came floating down was a kind looking gentleman with grey hair and halfmoon galsses on his nose and a newpaper tucked under one arm. He was also holding silmiar a looking umbrella He appeared very smartly dressed with a calm but slighty cocky expression as he held onto his handle with just one hand. He smiled at me on his way down and pointed to his own Unbrella handle and amongst the sound of me heavily panting with fear, I heard him faintly say "press the button 3 times" and he then landed ever so gently onto the pier and folded his brollie and walked into the pier cafe. Clicking 3 times i felt myself gently decend towards Veritys (statue) and my feet landed gently on her head and relieved I did not go out to sea. I heard the sound of sirens approaching whilst standing on the statues head looking around for a way to climb down. Thank goodness for our local fire crew who in no time set up there ladder and i was safely brought down. The fire officer rolled his eyes when he saw my new umbrella and said it was the 3rd rescue this week and that the umbrella should come with a warning and instructions. I agreed and thanked everyone and began to walk home. The heavens opened and it was absolutely pooring down with rain... but i was happy to get wet this time... no way was i using the brollie again until i contacted the suppilier and requested instructions. Still waiting to hear back. Overall happy with purchase.

As far as collapsable umbrellas go, I have traditionally bought cheap light-weight ones from supermarkets. After precious little use they usually disintegrated. They didn’t matter much because I live in Essex, one of the driest counties in the country. But as climate change takes hold and it rains so much of the time, even in Essex, it was time for a change of plan. The Repel umbrella is just what I needed. It’s robust and doesn’t blow inside out. The fabric stays fitted to the ends of the metal rods and doesn’t get detached at the first puff of wind. It’s heavier and bigger than the cheap collapsables but it’s worth it because of the durability. Erecting it is easy and can be done with only one hand. There is a button you press at the end of the handle, and hey presto! The wingspan is a handy 96 centimetres. I liked the pattern on the inside: blue sky and a few white clouds. It would have been nice if that was replicated on the outer upper surface which is plain black. Collapsing the umbrella needs both hands. You press the other button and the business end folds up at once but you then have to press down on the end of the umbrella to bring the fabric back down to the base of the handle. All in all, a thoroughly decent and impressive piece of equipment. It’s well worth the extra money. Dr Paul R. Sealey

A really good umbrella, only used it a couple of times so far. Didn't blow inside in the wind but I do find it very hard to close as the spring is very strong. But found a way round it , I press it onto a hard surface and it closes ok, I just don't have the strength in my hands anymore. I love the stars on the underneath of the umbrella.

Love this umbrella,, love the close mechanism on it. Very sturdy

Impressive umbrella, holds up well in strong wind and rain. Size is perfect for me as I don't like massive umbrellas. Very easy to use and folds down into a small compact size to fit in a bag. I bought this umbrella 3 years ago and used it every time it rains. It eventually developed a bent hinge after 3 years. Making it a faff to close it. I contacted the company, and as they offer a lifetime warranty they sent me a new one for free. This is a very trustworthy company. Worth the money I would say.

Fabulous umbrella, love the automatic open & closing and the cover in great to put the wet umbrella in.

This was bought for a friend, who liked mine, because they praised it for it's durability, easy to use, design and ability to take on strong winds without blowing inside out. However, thought it was a bit weighty, yes you do need a bit of muscle to close it, but after a couple of times you don't notice it. Great umbrella.

Bought for my son. Good umbrella but please note it’s not very big so if you’re wanting something like the size of a golf umbrella it’s not the one for you. It’s not much bigger than a women’s one. But it is a travel one so might be ok if you want something smaller. Well made and looks strong.

自動開閉でかわいいデザインの折り畳みがなかなかありません。 今はこちらを使ってます。 電車内で長い傘だと満員電車になった際、自分も不快だし周りにも迷惑をかけるので折り畳み傘を使っています。 重いし、コンパクトではないですが自動開閉なので納得して使ってます。 付属のケースは多分傘作成時に余った端切れで作ったのかな？単色の傘と同じ生地の簡易的な袋がついてきました。 なので、中にマイクロファイバー付きのケースを買って使用しています。

Şemsiyeyi alalı 3 ay oldu ve şunu söylemeliyim ki şemsiye tam anlamıyla fiyat/performans ürünü. Ayrıca tekli alımda (440 TL civarı) pahalıya gelmesine rağmen ikili alım yaparsanız (600 TL civarı) kargo bedavaya geldiği için uyguna almış olursunuz. Şemsiyeye gelecek olursak 9 adet tel kullanmışlar ve gayet güçlendirilmiş bir iskelete sahip. Kolay kolay ters dönmüyor ve şimdiye kadar da dönmedi. Üzerinde bulunan havalandırma boşluğu sayesinde rüzgarda ters dönmesinin önüne geçmeye çalışmışlar ancak henüz deneyimleme imkanım olmadı. Otomatik kapanıp açılması gayet randımanlı çalışıyor. Bazıları yayın sertliğininden dolayı şemsiyeyi kapatırken zorlanmış ama bence ideal bir sertliği var. Ne çok sert ne de çok yumuşak. Büyüklüğü tek kişi için ideal ama iki kişiyi kesinlikle yağmurdan koruyamaz. Kumaşına teflon kaplama yapmışlar ve çok iyi olmuş. Bu sayede kumaşı yağmuru çekmiyor ve ufak bir silkelemede üzerindeki suyun büyük çoğunluğu dökülüyor. Ancak şuna dikkat etmeniz gerekiyor: Şemsiyeyle işiniz bittikten sonra içininin ve dışının iyice kuruduğundan emin olmadan şemsiyeyi katlayıp kılıfına koymayın. Çünkü her ne kadar teflon kaplama olsa bile bazı küçük su damlaları hala daha şemsiyenin üzerinde kalabiliyor ve bazen aç-kapa yaparken iç kısmına su sıçramış olabiliyor. Eğer iyice kurutmadan katlayıp kılıfa koyarsanız zamanla kumaş üzerinde pas lekesiyle karşılaşabilirsiniz. En önemli avantajı ise ömür boyu garantili olması. TR için bu hizmet mevcut mu bilmiyorum ama yazıldığına göre mevcut diye düşünüyorum. Son olarak şemsiyenin sevmediğim bir özelliğini belirterek yorumumu bitireyim. Tutma sapının gevşek olmasından ötürü bir boşluk mevcut ve şemsiyeyi tutarken hafif sağa sola dönmesine neden oluyor. İleride bir sorun çıkarır mı bilmiyorum ama biraz rahatsız ediyor beni.

I recently purchased the Repel Umbrella, and it has completely changed the game when it comes to my umbrella expectations. This windproof travel umbrella is not only compact and lightweight but also impressively durable and reliable. The wind-resistant design is a true standout feature. Living in an area with unpredictable weather, this umbrella has proven to be a reliable companion during sudden gusts of wind and heavy rain. The construction is sturdy, ensuring that it can withstand the elements and keep me dry even in challenging conditions. The compact and lightweight design makes it ideal for travel. It easily fits into my bag without adding unnecessary bulk, and the automatic open and close feature adds a level of convenience that I greatly appreciate. It's become an essential item for my daily commute and travel adventures. The strength of the umbrella is noticeable. The reinforced frame and durable materials used in its construction give me confidence that it will last through frequent use. The automatic open and close mechanism operates smoothly, adding a touch of sophistication to its overall design. The small size doesn't compromise on coverage. When fully opened, the umbrella provides ample coverage to shield me from rain, and the wind-resistant feature ensures that it remains intact even during strong winds. In conclusion, the Repel Umbrella has truly exceeded my expectations. Its windproof design, compact size, and overall durability make it a top-tier travel umbrella. If you're in the market for a reliable, compact, and wind-resistant umbrella, I highly recommend giving the Repel Umbrella a try. It's a game-changer for staying dry and protected in any weather.

A really sturdy and obviously a bit heavy folded umbrella—expectedly since it’s windproof—that would likely to last forever till being lost or stolen here in this part of the world. Recommended to always stow inside the backpack, not in an outside sleeve, when not in use.

都心通勤なのでビル風が強く、普通の傘ではすぐに裏返ってしまうためこちらを購入。 強風でもまったく裏返ることなく安心して使用できます。 作りはかなり丈夫で、普通の傘より骨の数が多く安定感があります。 その分重量も多少ありますが。 ワンタッチで開くことができるのも便利です。
