BodyguardInverted Umbrella - Large Windproof for Rain & Sun, Compact Reverse With Reflective Stripe, Teflon-Coated for Women Men, Travel Folding With Cover Bag

Awesome Umbrella! Good quality, compact, opens so cool and when you close it, the rain doesn't fall down on you, it collapse within the Umbrella.

This is a very nice quality umbrella. It's compact, and with the press of a button, it quickly opens or closes. The Teflon coating is a nice feature as it leaves less water to get inside your car when you bring it in after closing it, which was a major selling feature.

This is a great umbrella.Its strong and well made,I'll be purchasing another one.I got the largest size big I'm over weight lol.I wanted to be fully covered and the bodyguard works well for me.

OMG! Very difficult to close! I have to invert it and push it hard downwards on the floor to close. Great Quality, excellent material - keeps the water off very well.

It's so cool. Hit the button for it to spring open. Hit the button to collapse it back down. And with the way it collapses, it keeps the outside dry when folded up

LOVE this umbrella! I'm a teacher with outdoor car line duty sometimes in very heavy, windy rain; and I've struggled to find an umbrella that won't flip inside out and leave me soaked. That is, until I found this one. It holds up well in all weather AND folds up easily into a compact size when not in use. It's great!

Love this product works well and fits nicely in my glove box. I love how it closes inside out so you don’t get water everywhere getting into your car.

Summary: This umbrella feels flimsy, is difficult to use one-handed, and lacks venting which leads to it being pulled around by the wind.I got this umbrella thinking that the inverted design looked interesting and potentially useful.The umbrella wasn't packaged in a box or anything protective on the outside other than a simple plastic wrap around the upper part and a single layer of bubble wrap around the handle, which was then dropped into an Amazon plastic bag for delivery.The mechanism is snappy and very quick, and the diameter of the canopy leads to excellent coverage. The umbrella is compact when folded, and lightweight. Unfortunately, that's all the good things I have to say about it.The handle is undersized for the size and construction of the umbrella and it puts stress on your wrist to hold it. The button is extremely stiff and requires significant force to activate. I don't have any serious hand dexterity problems but I still struggled to open it one-handed.Literally my first time using it, a light wind caused the whole outer section of the umbrella to fold back. I can only assume that this is due to a combination of the inverted design and the lack of venting.When open, the whole umbrella feels flimsy and cheap. There's a lot of rotational slop in the shaft and it doesn't feel even remotely solid. The material of the canopy is very thin and I noticed damp spots appearing on the underside after just a brief walk across a parking lot in the rain.The inverted design looks compelling on paper, but I found it inconvenient in the car. The edge of the umbrella gets caught on the underside of the car door jamb when I open the door and try to hold it up and open it before I get out. I'd probably get used to this with time, but it just isn't as intuitive as a standard umbrella.Overall, for $30, I would pass on this.
