Repel Umbrella Windproof Travel Umbrellas for Rain - Easy Auto Open Close, Durable & Compact Umbrella, Strong Fiberglass Frame, Waterproof Canopy - Backpack, Purse, Portable Umbrella for Travel

Sturdy, perfectly sized umbrella. Works great for travel or just having near the front door. The auto open/close button functions great. I've bought multiple of them. Had one break during very strong winds. Contacted the company and they arranged a replacement after opening a ticket and providing some quick pics of the damage. Overall recommend.

This is a good quality umbrella that is designed to stand up against the wind and so far it has. It’s plenty big enough when open but collapses down to a very easy to carry size. Value for the price and highly recommended.

Good quality and works well and it's so cool but it's so hard to button it up.

The umbrella is very easy to use and better than most small umbrellas. I highly recommend this umbrella.

Nice umbrella, sturdy, water resistant. Well made overall. Would recommend.

Looking for a lightweight and small umbrella for travel, I bought the Amazon Basics, Repel, and Umenice for something even lighter. I decided to keep 2, and I chose the Umenice and Repel, in that order. But this also seemed an overall good umbrella so read on.I weighed them myself:Umenice 9ozAmazon 13ozRepel 14ozI measured the diameters myself:Umenice 38.5"Repel and Amazon 37.75"The Repel and Amazon are very similar, both auto open, both vented designs which theoretically makes them less likely to invert in strong gusts. The Umenice is quite different, due to its silver UV-resistant fabric, manual open, and unvented.While each was open, I shook each violently up and down as if wind gusts were attempting to invert the umbrellas. The Repel 9 rib design was noticeably stiffer/sturdier than the 8 rib Amazon. Surprisingly, the Umenice 8 rib design seemed much closer in sturdiness to the Repel than the Amazon, despite being 8 rib and unvented. Perhaps the different fabric on the Umenice played a part in this.The handles on the Repel and Amazon are larger and easier to hold on to than the Umenice, however, the handles on the Repel and Amazon also have a considerable amount of 'play' between the umbrella shaft and the handle, meaning they will twist and turn noticeably in wind gusts, which is something I found mildly annoying with my last umbrella. I think this may be an unfortunate side effect of all auto open umbrellas.Another slight difference is the storage sleeve is a tight fit over the Amazon while the Repel and Umenice slide in more easily. When I bought, the Repel and Umenice we're both about $30, while the Amazon was $17. I was going to buy a Repel umbrella with a design on it to help it stand out, but I read that's accomplished with another layer of fabric and I wanted umbrellas as light as possible. The Repel advertises a lifetime warranty.I chose the Umenice first because it is noticeably lighter and smaller for travel than either of the other two, that's my most important quality in a travel umbrella, and I don't care much about auto open, particularly because that feature still requires two hands to fully close the umbrella. And in fact it seems to require 'loose' handles which to me makes a net negative. I do wish the Umenice had a slightly larger (yet still lightweight) handle which I think would add less than an ounce but make it easier to hold. I also wish it was vented, but it surprisingly held to my wind gust scenario seemingly nearly as well as the vented Repel, and definitely better than the vented Amazon. Finally I don't love the silver UV fabric on the Umenice and wish they also offered a more traditional fabric, but in theory that's an additional benefit and it does seem to be a considerably more waterproof fabric than either of the other two (which are so thin you can see light through them). The lifetime warranty with the Repel is great in theory, however it's nearly twice the price of the very similar Amazon and personally I know from experience it will go missing (not covered under warranty of course) before I went through 2 Amazon umbrellas so I don't consider that of particular benefit. It being sturdier and 9 rib is, so I'm going to keep the Repel as an extra, and for long-term comparison to the Umenice.

This umbrella seems sturdy enough to last a long time. But my favorite feature is how it opens and closes with a simple button push. This is especially nice getting into a car when it's raining. I was curious how it was able to achieve the automatic closing but I found out the first time I used it. There are two spring operations, and after the cover collapses you have to push pretty hard to close it around the handle. That's the magic of it. I found it easiest if I put the handle on a surface and pushed down hard on the top. Not a big deal at all. I should have gotten one or two of these years ago.

I just purchased this umbrella. It automatically opens and close with a push of the button. You must follow the instructions on the card that comes with the umbrella or else closing the umbrella may be difficult.

I purchased the Repel travel umbrella. It is light weight and the perfect size for a large purse or shopping bag. I am an avid walker and have no difficulty using it in the rain. I had a minor issue with the umbrella, I contacted the company. An amazing company to deal with; they are polite, efficient and they offer excellent customer service and stand behind their guarantee. I would buy again from this company, they truly make lovely and sturdy umbrellas at a very good price. Thank you, Rebel!a

Luce tal cual las imágenes y la calidad de la imagen es muy buena.

compacto y grande a la vez

Muy buen producto. Fácil de abrir y cerrar, buena cualidad

Es pequeño, resistente y repele muy bien el agua. Tampoco le pidas que te cubra bajo un diluvio. Dentro lo que cabe es perfecto.
