Small but strong - this is what I was looking for
Where I live rain can come very unexpected and be gone in few minutes. I decided that I need small but good umbrella, which I can keep in my handbag. I was intrigued by the reviews this umbrella has and decided to try it.
First I'm very happy with the size of it. This umbrella fits perfectly in my handbag and don't weight too much, so I can have it with me all the time. It has comfortable case where I can keep it compact. It has button for folding/unfolding so I don't need to apply pressure to close it after use (like in some cheap versions of this type of umbrellas). Just press button and all done. The handle is slip-proof and very comfortable, and it has a strap if you want to hang it.
It looks small, but unfolded it's quite big and can cover you properly. I was impressed by the material umbrella is made of. It looks and feels very strong and it repeals water as stated in the description. As they say ''like water from the goose''. I wasn't able to try it in ''storm'' conditions yet (where you were my umbrella like a week ago, with all these thunderstorms happening), still think that this umbrella will outlast strong winds. Its construction looks very sturdy and I tried to shake it quite hard, to imitate windy conditions.
I had so many cheap umbrellas before, most of them were getting broken after first stronger rain. Now I know this umbrella was what I really needed: strong, sturdy, high quality, and small in size.
I received a 100% discount voucher from the seller, but it didn't affected my opinion about the product. I would definitely buy it for full price and recommend it to others.
