VOROSY Umbrella Travel Compact Umbrella Auto Open & Close

Perfect for travel. Great price

This umbrella is about 13 1/4 in. long, so it easily slips into a bag or glove compartment to have handy for unexpected showers. Total weight is about 13 oz.The canopy has a diameter of about 38 in. when fully opened to provide protection from both sun and rain. The cream fabric used around the edges looks nice and makes it easier to identify.The shaft is metal and the rib sections are a mix of aluminum alloy and flexible fiberglass.The handle fits nicely in the hand and has a large, stretchy wrist loop. There is a button near the top that automatically opens and closes the umbrella with a strong snap, which is very convenient. It takes a good bit of force to collapse the shaft to stow it.The sleeve is just large enough to accommodate the umbrella after it has been used.Vorosy provided an umbrella for evaluation and review.

VOROSY's, provided by vendor at a huge discount as a 'for review' item, is very much a traditional, medium size umbrella that appears to be of a good quality and reasonably durable.The umbrella deploys at the push of a button but, somewhat to my surprise, it doesn't actually locks when fully deployed which means that if you are walking against the wind it may begin to close on you. That may protect the umbrella from breaking at the expense of not protecting you as much as you'd expect but, if the alternative as a broken umbrella which offers no protection at all, maybe this is not such a bad thing.Other than that... it folds nicely and it's not too heavy and the price is right so it's good.
