Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I read about the Repel Easy Touch umbrella on a website that tests consumer products. Of the many umbrellas tested, this came out on top. After ordering and examining it, I can say with confidence that it is sturdily built with quality materials. It opens & closes with satisfying authority. The handle is dimpled & comfortable to hold. The fabric is treated with teflon, so it sheds rain. The canopy provides enough coverage, so you'll be well protected from the elements. I've spent twice as much on a German-designed umbrella, that was also well built, & this umbrella is it's equal in nearly every respect. Note: It has a little weight to it, & the heavy duty spring might make it a challenge for the elderly to close. Beyond that, what more could you want in an umbrella?
