Very strong umbrella with good design
The umbrella is very well designed, especially i like the handle the way its designed very comfortable to hold and has very firm grip.The umbrella is built strongly with a nice frame which can hold strong winds and the stiches are also stiched strongly with wire.The cloth of the umbrella is also a good quality which has double cloth to support in the middle.The frames has a inbuilt spring which helps the umbrella to withhold the winds.The size of umbrella is the best where you can carry it in any bags easily and also its lightweight.The storage bag is very nice to insert the umbrella easily has it has a wide opening and a nice sticker to close crossly. The bag also has a ring which can be attached to umbrella so that the bag is not misplaced.

Excellent and sturdy brolly weathered rainy Edinburgh and Glasgow
I’d been researching quote heavily in a good quality umbrella after my years of buying cheap “breaks after one windy day” ones from the likes of budget friendly Primark.Firstly, I purchased the forest green colour which looks great, rich green and looks premium.Do note, this umbrella is more weighty and larger than your typical British handbag umbrellas but there’s a very handy clip attached to the cover that clips nicely to the hardware of my handbags.I bought this umbrella due to the typical dreary rain all day, all week weather predicted in Scotland for a joint birthday holiday trip.The umbrella did not disappoint and it covered me (a plus size lady) confidently. I would say it would be a push to cover two persons, perhaps it can with the expectation you may get dropped on the edges.The automatic open mechanism works well but as others suggested, it does take a thorough push to “reload” the spring. My tip is, after pressing the button to close the umbrella, physically drive the umbrella to the ground until the pole reduces in length and you hear the audible “click”.The handle of the umbrella felt practically and ergonically designed for the hand to grab onto.I would highly recommend this umbrella to anyone who’s after a high quality umbrella that offers a spring loaded open and close mechanism.

Effective even in terrible weather; heavy and hard to close
This is mostly a great umbrella. It is a lovely cheerful canary yellow and provides excellent coverage from rain. I have taken it out in very windy weather and so far it has resisted every gust. The spring action means it opens quickly and effortlessly (although make sure no-one is standing in its path!) and the cover has a nice velcro seal that makes it easy to put on quickly over a wet umbrella (other umbrellas I have had have been very hard to get back into their covers; no problems with this one).So far, so good. So why only four stars? Two small gripes. The first is that the umbrella is a little heavier than I was expecting, and is a bit too big to fit in a handbag. That may be an acceptable trade-off for an umbrella that is strong and robust. But the second gripe is bigger, and one that over reviewers have also noted - the umbrella is very hard to fold down. You have to push it really quite forcefully, and at a difficult angle, to get the spring mechanism to lock into place. One time I thought I had it but not quite, and it sprung back up, sending the base of the umbrella plunging into my stomach, which really winded me. Without this design flaw I would have given it five stars.

Windproof & sturdy at a reasonable cost.
Previously, because of the frequency with which I lose umbrellas, I had been buying very cheap models, but these broke even more quickly than I lost them, so I decided to go upmarket a bit, although the Ergonomad wasn`t so very much more expensive than many of the ones which broke in the wind. I liked this one`s sturdiness, ease of operation, & the fact that, because of the vents, it so far hasn’t blown inside out in high winds, although that hasn’t really been tested very severely yet, because I haven’t been out much in bad weather - in fact I haven’t been out much at all, because at 78 with diabetes, I have heeded the government’s advice to stay indoors, & have remained healthy.The Ergonomad was a bit heavier than I had been used to, but that is a small price to pay for sturdiness & longevity - IF I don`t lose it (!), but this model has a retaining strap which you can attach to your wrist.The only improvement I can think of is that perhaps some means of indicating a bit more clearly which direction to roll the umbrella when refurling it. I keep ending up with the umbrella rolled up, but unable to fasten it because the fastenings are rolled up as well! The umbrella opens automatically: is it really impossible to devise a means of closing it too? Not that I can think of a way, but then that’s not my job. One more suggestion: I would appreciate the option of buying replacement covers, as I usually manage to lose mine - nearly as often as I lose the whole thing! Alternatively, provide somewhere to store the cover when the umbrella is in use. However, maybe they wouldn’t sell many umbrellas if they solved the losing it problem. I bet 3/4 of their sales are replacements.P.S Oh, & It`s great at keeping the rain off one, too!

Sturdy and effective
This umbrella is light and compact and fits perfectly in the side pocket of my rucksack.The dual layer "vented canopy" is a great feature which works well (so far) in making the umbrella stable and effective on a windy day.The handle is a little short (but if it were longer it might be too long to stay in a bag side pocket) and it needs a little force to close but overall it seems like a well made and reliable product and very good value for money.

Headcap already broken after 3 uses
The media could not be loaded. This is my second umbrella. 1st one was a black one that was very good but I lost it.I wanted the yellow one but couldn't find it so I bought the same in green color.3 uses only and I notice my head cap is already broken and stitches are detaching!I am very worried of the quality of this new umbrella.
