I was hoping for a reliable, compact umbrella for travel, but the ALFROTEY Mini Folding Travel Umbrella fell short of my expectations. While it's lightweight and easy to carry, the quality is quite poor. The structure feels very flimsy, and it struggled to hold up in even light wind and rain. I wouldn’t recommend this if you need a durable or sturdy umbrella.

Quality is great but I don't recommend for anyone above 15 year of age. The handle is small and length of umbrella is also for small. The area it expand to is ok but in heavy rain or rain with wind there is 100% chance to get wet till knee if u are above 5'5". I recommend it to women or children. Not for a office worker of student as they will get themselves soaked bcz of small size.

This was a great purchase, so much I'll be buying another for my spouse. For being such a small umbrella, it works better than expected. Firstly, when the button is clicked, it deploys in an instant. I love the mint green color, and the black interior makes it good in the sun as well. It is very sturdy and keeps the rain away like it should. I love being able to quickly close it with the button and have it set down in the passenger floorboard without getting rainwater everywhere in the car.

Nice umbrella, but it takes extra umph to latch it closed; the Velcro closure isn’t long enough to secure the umbrella without placing it back into the very tight case that came with it; and you’ll probably never be able to fit it back into the case once it’s out.With that said, it was able to hold up in Category One Hurricane Beryl, so well done!

These are double thickness umbrellas so there's little chance you'll get wet when using them. The only problem we had with them is one mentioned by other reviewers, that they can be diificult to close. One's closure mechanism was ruined when a preteen tried to force it closed the wrong way. The best way is to place the tip of the umbrella on the ground or floor and gently press the umbrella straight down until you hear the click. They look classic and sturdy and have held up well throughout the rainy months.

El color es bonito, el material se ve delgado (habrá que probarlo para ver si no se abre con el viento). Se abre fácilmente, aunque para cerrarlo si hay que usar un poco de fuerza e intentar varias veces. Le puse 4 porque considero que es muy pesado, yo lo quería para andar en la mochila, pero por el peso creo que la opción es dejarlo en el coche.

I have never had as hard a time closing an umbrella than this one. It opens fine but trying to close it is an entire ordeal and it’s very frustrating, especially if I’m in a rush to get somewhere. It feels pretty strong in the wind and I appreciate how compact it is, and the inside-out technology. However, if I had known how hard this item is to close I would have bought a different one.

I got this umbrella. Not expecting much in the way of quality. I was pleasantly surprised that this is pretty sturdy. As umbrellas go, the wand center is hollow of course for telescopic purposes. So like any other umbrella, if somebody were to step on it, like my sibling, it would bend and have difficulty retracting or extending. I was lucky enough that my husband is Handy and was able to bend ours back with relative ease and get everything straightened and working perfectly again. My toddler loves being able to push the button to extend and close this umbrella when it's raining. And I love how compact the body of it is. A downside is that it's nearly impossible to get it back in its cute little sleeve, but I don't know many people who end up putting it back in those anyway. So no lost there. Overall, it's a good size for a personal umbrella, or a personal plus a small person like a toddler. It's a decent value as it works perfectly well and the reflective strip is a nice safety touch.

This is a great travel umbrella for travelling light. It is smaller when opened than a normal compact umbrella and yes it doesn't really cope with strong winds, but it's so small and lightweight that it's easy to pack and is perfectly fine for those times you're on holidays and there's a bit of rain but you still want to get out and about. I was happy with it on a recent trip to Paris.

I did tons of research looking for the lightest, smallest, compact umbrella. When your backpacking you are looking for those features in a product especially the lightest. I weighed this as soon as I got it to see if they were telling a fib about the weight. Its true, it was 6.5 oz, IF you take the outer fabric case off. You wont need that anyway. The ball handle covers and conceals the pointy ends very well so those pointy ends dont poke holes in bags in your backpack. With the umbrella closed it fits in the palm of my hand from the tip of my finger to the end of my palm, just under 7 inches long. Truly the perfect backpacking umbrella, and for $10 its way better and lighter than the Heliox hiking umbrella for $80. It is a little hard to open it all the way but if you know that you have to push it up hard till it clicks that becomes a non issue after the first time you open it. The trade off for it being so light is completely worth it. Its not super sturdy but it is sturdy enough to use it for what it is supposed to be used for, so no jumping off cliffs and using it as a parachute! It is also a little small side when fully opened but again for me, thats a non issue ITS LIGHT, and it will cover my shoulders for those light rains. Heavy rains and wind I will pull out the Frog toggs.

I haven't gotten to use it much yet (which is a good thing, right?), but I tested it out at home and just love it. I bought it for my husband and I, and the first one I bought was a more normal-sized umbrella. This one is definitely LARGE! It can comfortably fit us both with some extra room to account for bags or that pesky sideways rain. I really love the bright colors and imagine it'll hold up well to both sun and rain! I can pop it open and back myself, the automatic folding is really handy, and I love the way it folds inside out so it tries not to get you wet! I appreciate that. The actual manual pulling the umbrella all the way back in to snap it in place is a bit difficult, but sliding it into its little carrying sleeve was easy. I hope the difficulty just means that the automatic open/close mechanism will last forever! ;) Overall very happy with this purchase & can't wait to put some miles on it. I'll report back if anything suspicious occurs!
