This is a very useful small, compact umbrella. I have not, as yet, tried it in the wind or the sun but it worked perfectly in the rain. The push button mechanism for opening and closing was easy and efficient. I am not sure if I will actually be using it in the sun but the fact that it has UPF50+ Sun and UV Protection is plus. The clip handle, I am sure, will prove very useful for hanging it up. My only criticism is with the case, it is very loose fitting with no press stud or velco type fastening and, if you were carrying it clipped to a bag or rucksack, I would imagine that the case would fall off. However, at under £10 I consider this to be an excellent buy and would recommend.

There are various different versions of this folding umbrella, and I'm actually unclear what the difference is between this beige 1 version and another beige 2 version, as they both seem identical to me. (It also comes in apricot yellow and light blue). I have been impressed by its feel, build quality and look. There is honestly nothing to dislike here, and it's a certainly well worth the current price of £9.99. The umbrella is very compact and lightweight when closed: only 11" long and 200g, so it fits comfortably in my coat or shorts pocket. When fully open it is just over 21" long and some 30" in diameter (or 35" if measured diagonally). The opening/closing mechanism is secure and smooth, boding well for its longevity. The shaft and skeleton are made of aluminium alloy and fiberglass but not sure what the actual umbrella canopy is made of. It's described as high density technology fibers which means nothing to me. Certainly not the usual nylon or polyester in any event. Whatever it is, it is clearly quite hitech. Rain just rolls off and is not absorbed in any way through the fabric. So you don't get damp or wet. Also because it doesn't absorb any water it is really easy to shake dry/dry off when you want to put it away again. The outer canopy is very light beige in colour, but unusually the inside is entirely black. Apparently in addition to being entirely waterproof, the fabric also acts as a UPF 50+ sunscreen material, which could be useful I suppose in certain situations. Anyway, long story story, the umbrella is very easy to carry about, and it does a very good job of keeping you dry. It also looks simply looks good - bright, cheerful and stylish. The only negative I can find is that if the wind gets at all breezy the umbrella blows inside out. However, you can get round that to some extent, by holding its outer edge in position with your other hand. When it did happen to me though, at least the umbrella did not break and was easily pulled back into shape. All in all, this is a very good lightweight folding umbrella, at a very decent price. The clever integrated handle clip is a great idea.

I’d love to comment on how good the umbrella fends off rain in the real world but I can’t. Since the umbrella arrived there has been no rain whatsoever where I live. EDIT: it did finally rain, see comments after my shower experiment.However, in the interests of the review I did brave a shower in lukewarm water with it and I can vouch it kept the water off me very well. No leaks in the stitching or the fabric at all. I was in the shower for around five minutes and the water flow was much like a very heavy rain storm. Obviously this test is not the same as being outside but it gives me confidence that the umbrella is up to the job.Finally, the rains came so I could test it properly. I found it to be very waterproof indeed over prolonged periods of heavy rain. Once the rain has stopped it dries pretty quickly too.The mechanism to release the umbrella is easy to use and very positive. Likewise when folding it back up.The construction is very solid. Although there has been no rain there’s been plenty of sun and fairly strong winds. I used the umbrella as a sun shade so I can confirm it works very well to keep the sun off. The wind didn’t seem to bother the spokes or the mechanism at all and the canopy remained firm and in the shape it is supposed to be.The handle has a handy built-in clip which could be used to clip it to a rucksack strap or similar. A handy soft case made from the same material as the brolly is also supplied to protect the umbrella when not in use.Delivery and packaging were fine.To conclude, I think it’s a well-made umbrella that is relatively small and light so it would be useful as both a town or country brolly and ideal for hikers/backpackers too. Well worth buying one.

I'm really pleased with this umbrella. It's reasonably lightweight - about half the weight of similar items I've purchased in the past, so very portable. It has a strong, effective push-button mechanism on the small handle for automatically opening and closing it. The umbrella is made from a water- and light-proof fabric, in a warm cream shade on the outside, and with a black-coloured lining-layer on the inside ( which should reduce the amount of light-reflections bouncing back onto the face and upper body). Similar items are often have a double-layer of fabrics, so are much heavier.It's a great alternative to sun-hats - I dislike wearing something hot in the summer, and also an umbrella doesn't crush your hair. It is, of course, much bigger than even a wide-brimmed hat, so provides more protection from UV rays - particularly important for anyone with pale/fragile/older skin, and anyone wishing to avoid the ageing, damaging effects of strong sun.The umbrella is also waterproof, so doubles as a conventional umbrella providing rain protection.
