3.0 out of 5 stars A little bit small..., May 21, 2009

I bought this umbrella since it rains seemingly every day where I go to school. The umbrella is very compact and it fits in my backpack's side pocket (designed to hold a water bottle) with no problem. The auto open/close feature works very well and is handy if you've got your hands full.

What's not handy is the size of the umbrella. The product photo is very misleading; the umbrella is enough to keep one adult person dry and that's it. Anything else you might be carrying or anyone who might be walking with you will need their own umbrella. My backpack ends up drenched. The wind vents don't work as well as advertised either. While they do help, there have been times where I've gotten the WindPro caught in a strong gust. It's relatively strong construction is the only think that keeps it from blowing inside-out in those instances.

All in all, you might want to look for alternatives considering the price of this umbrella.

It's not a year since I got this umbrella and it seemed ok. However, the notion that it doesn't flip inside-out is completely wrong. I was using my "great find" and was hit by one gust that flipped the umbrella. No sooner than I had corrected it, it flipped again with a slight gust, but this time one of the supports broke. What a disappointment.

I really expected this umbrella to hold up in most wind conditions,Hurricane force winds exempted of course, because of its sleek design.

Maybe I will find a product that does what it says.

I used this for the first time this morning. Immediately upon opening it, the wind flipped it inside out. The umbrella didn't even put up a fight. Today's weather is the reason I bought this in the first place. I ended up closing it rather than struggling to keep it upright. I would up at work with very wet hair. A useless purchase. I'd have been better off with the Totes umbrella that I was using.
