ShedRain WindPro Mini Umbrella Reviews

• Best Umbrella I've Owned

  Here on my campus, it seems to always be very windy, probably due to the flat land surrounding it. If you carry a $5 umbrella with you on a rainy day, you'll find yourself tilting it this way and that way, just to make sure the wind doesn't caught inside of it. With the ShedRain umbrella, this effect completely disappeared. The ShedRain doesn't seem to have any trouble dealing with wind. Plus, the automatic open/close feature on the umbrella really makes life a bit simpler.
  
  Overall, if you're in need of a good umbrella, this product is the way to go.
  
  

• Sturdy enough for the gusty days

  I bought this umbrella for the "heavy duty" -- the gusty, stormy days of NYC. And it arrived just in time for the storm that's flooding the east coast right now. While it does a damn good job of standing up to the wind gusts, it doesn't do as great of job of repelling the heavy rain. The fabric saturates in a heavy squalor and then starts to drip down.
  
  Not a big deal since it stops the bulk of the wet, I'll probably just add a layer of scotch guard to it or something.
  
  

• Nice umbrella

  I bought this umbrella as a Christmas gift for my husband to replace all of the cheap, broken, and bent "throw away" umbrellas he had amassed over the years. So far, I'm happy with it. The construction is sturdy and appears quality made. The best part is the vent at the top of the umbrella that allows wind to pass threw. I don't see why this wouldn't be the last umbrella my husband will ever need.
  
  

• Great Umbrella

  This is a very nice mini umbrella, and does auto open AND close. It has a very thick sturdy shaft, and is made with semi-flexible spars that bend in the wind and prevent the umbrella from becoming a sail. It also has a vent hole on top, so in all it is quite stable in high winds. It is not the lightest umbrella ever, due to its sturdy construction, but it is light and small enough to carry around all the time in a backpack or briefcase no problem. I'm quite satisfied with this product. My only complaint would be that the button is kind of hard to push for auto-close, so if you have a weak grip you might want to try an umbrella with a more sensitive mechanism. On the other hand, this does effectively prevent accidental closures.
  
  

• Replaced All My Umbrellas

  I've now replaced all my umbrellas (home, car, office, and suitcase) with four umbrellas of this model. I started with one and gradually swapped them all out. It's tiny and light, but windproof even on gusty Florida days.
