BAODINI Inverted UV Umbrella for Rain and Sun Medium Size UPF 50+ Rverse Compact Umbrella Auto Open Close

I got this because I like to take walks every day but I have lupus so the sun is my enemy. I hadn't used it for a long time as I usually walk very early and wear a huge hat. Well I just got through a huge flare and am even more sun sensitive now so the hat was no longer cutting it on its own with sunblock. I started using this umbrella and it's GREAT. Pretty sturdy unless there's some wind. Seemingly not any worse than an ordinary umbrella. In that case I just grab the edge to stabilize it. Does it's job against the sun. Great pink color. Can't remember which size I got while writing this but it's enough for one person while still being light enough to carry for five miles. Doesn't feel any heavier than my regular umbrella. The only drawback is that it's very hard for someone with little muscle strength to close. I have to push it against something to get it to fully click closed. But I don't really mind that. No weird smell. Would buy again. Very happy with this purchase.

Update 9/5 I wish I could give this thing more than 5 stars. We just had a monsoon flash flood with Hail!!! This thing held up with out and problems!!! This umbrella is perfect for Arizona. The one click open is amazing the close is a little harder it will close back up but you have to use two hands or push it against something to slide it back down in place. The thickness of the material is beautiful, it blocks out all of the sun. I can true feel the difference being underneath it. I got the medium size, it covers me and if I let me kids walk in front of me it covers them. Or I will hold me son and have my daughter walk next to me to cover both of us. I do wish they offered a large size and/or a small size. A large to cover all 3 of us while walking or a small size for my daughter to hold. She can hold this one but it is just a little too big for her. However the quality of this umbrella for the sun is so amazing I would buy 2 small ones for my kids. I can't attest to how it functions in the rain, since again I live in Arizona and bought it for the sun. I can say it held up well on a windy day you can obviously feel the wind pull at it but it did not bend or flap. I highly recommend this umbrella for Arizona residents or anyone looking to block the sun especially for the price.

Very sturdy! I have not used it since it hasnt rained when i bought it but once i got it and opened it felt pretty strong and good size for 1 - 1 1/2 people. So strong that it was a little hard to close and lock back in ( thats why the 4 star) i have to really put in the work to close it.

This umbrella was very hard to close. I cut my finger trying to do so. Now it has broken. I will order another Sun umbrella, but not this brand.

I have no idea whether this umbrella works to block UV rays or not or if it stands up to weather because I never actually used it. When I received it I took it out of the package and opened it. First thing I noticed was it seemed to be made out of the same material as all other umbrellas I've owed, wasn't sure it was actually UV or spf 50 like it states, but I was willing to give it the benefit of the doubt and wait till I tried it out before making that judgement. My problem with this umbrella came when I tried to close it. I pulled down on it just like anyone would normally do but it wouldn't snap into place. I kept trying as hard as I could and still wouldn't click closed. I just eased up on the pressure I was using to keep it closed and the thing snapped back open with so much force it nearly took off my finger. Despite the fact that there are no sharp edges it sliced a good 2" cut in my finger that I thought was going to need stitches. Thankfully I was able to stop the bleeding and didn't end up in the ER. Needless to say I'm returning this and not taking a chance of getting hurt worse! This is a very poorly designed umbrella and I would never recommend it to anyone!

So I bought 8 different umbrellas to try and compare also in lavendar to match my new rain boots. I did a wind test and water test and my final oick was this one. It passes the wind test by far and will not fold over at all. Its is water proof. I tested it with my own shower and all that water never once came through. This is a true lavendar color and was the best match to my rain boots. The construction is solid and the handle is comfy. Also the auto button easy to use and closes and opens perfectly. The wind test was the biggest reason I chose this because all of the others failed! This umbrella is it and will hold up to a wind and strong rain! The only bummer part was it does not come with its own sleeve and only a plastic bag to put it away. I would not have even tried the others if it had come with a bag but was my overall pick anyways because the qualities outweighed the thing not having its own sleeve to store. This is a fantastic umbrella!!!!!

This umbrella has checked all my boxes! My umbrella had broken after years of tagging along in the car door pocket, and I was searching for a new one, knowing that this would be an opportunity to try out the "new" kind that fold in on themselves instead of spraying water all over me and the car when I closed it. This one opens fast! It's large enough to cover 2 people, or me+work tote+coffee. I find it a convenient weight - I think it's light without being flimsy. Its a tad bigger than my other, but it still fits in my car door pocket. And being really fair-skinned and prone to burning, the spf coating is a bonus, while still having the pretty mint green on the outside! I can't tell you how many times having an umbrella has saved me from a painful burn. And I admit, I like having the matching colored handle instead of plain black!

Good umbrella and very durable but my gosh its so hard to close!

Acabo de recibirlo por eso no le doy 5 estrellas, pero, la única y primer cosa que me ha saltado es que al abrirlo, se abre hacia afuera, tengo que estar volteándolo, y si eso hago en la calle cuando está lloviendo pues ya me mojé :S , no se si a todos los que lo compraron les pasó lo mismo.

It’s a durable n sturdy umbrella.

Perfecto buena calidad buen tamaño no cabe en el bolsillo pero si cabe en una mochila ya soporto vientos moderados y lluvias fuertes

Excelente producto, protege del sol perfectamente. Resistente y no se voltea o dobla con el viento, después de 2 años de uso constante lo compraré de nuevo.

Me esperaba algo malo por algunos comentarios pero al final fue la mejor sombrilla que he tenido, últimamente ha llovido mucho y fuerte y esta ha aguantado bastante además de que es super sencilla de abrir y cerrar una vez que le agarras el truco
