SY COMPACTTravel Umbrella - Lightweight Portable Mini Compact Umbrellas-Factory Outlet Shop

I bought this umbrella for a trip in 2022 that was dry so I did not need the umbrella. Fast forward 11 months and I take it on my next backpacking trip in an Ireland. On the third use It was blown inside out and 2 of the metal ribs were broken by a huge gust of wind that probably was in excess of 70mph.. Since the umbrella was described as wind proof I contacted the seller and inquired about a replacement under their warranty. The seller responded quickly and immediately shipped a replacement that arrived in 3 days. Excellent service. The umbrella is big enough to keep me dry and packs very small, fitting easily into a side pocket of my pack. It even has a soft carry bag with drawstring closure. Nice!

The umbrella is perfect for carrying in your car's glove compartment, backpack, handbag, or purse. It's just the right size to protect you from the sun or rain. Lightweight yet well-made, it comes with a stylish black velvet bag, making it easy to carry anywhere. A must-have item for today's unpredictable weather.

A little flimsy but it’s holding up and keeping me dry. Works as intended. Easy to use and hold.

It is super compact, perfect for your car door. I live in Florida, where it rains a lot during the rainy season, and the umbrella has worked well many times.

The positives: It was lightweight, has a full sized arch (38”), is compact when folded (7 1/2”), and was inexpensive. In fact, those were really the only factors I was looking for when I ordered the umbrella.However, the umbrella has other features that were disappointing.1) It is very difficult to push the umbrella open far enough to “catch” the little piece that will keep it open. I think there may be two problems. One, the catch is too small and two, it requires a lot of strength to push it far enough to catch. And I have to give it a little twist in order for it to catch. It usually takes several tries before I can successfully open the umbrella.2) The umbrella closes over the spokes and they all have to be perfectly aligned in order for the shaft to stay closed (telescoped) in order to hang it. Again, it’s a difficult process that usually takes me several tries.Also disappointing, but entirely my own fault- I failed to select a color, so I received black instead of the purple I wanted to order. Not their fault. I need another umbrella and am probably not going to order the one I got from Sy Compact again even though it has all the features I want- lightweight, full size arch, compact when folded and inexpensive. It’s just too hard to use.

This compact umbrella is perfect for travel. I fly a lot and an umbrella is always part of my backpack. I need something small that takes up minimal room and weight. This little umbrella is very easy to use, very compact, and is perfect because it comes with its own travel bag. The travel bag slides on nicely and has a nice texture to it very soft. Because the way the umbrella opens and closes it is easy to shake the excess water off of and dries quickly. Highly recommend this little umbrella.

I loved my umbrella! It worked great even while it was windy it still held up. Loved how cute it was and was definitely cost efficient. Was so easy to use and was very lightweight. I would definitely recommend it for everyone to buy and use. Very nice!

Fairly difficult to open. Doesn't have the button to spring it open and also somewhat difficult to latch in place. It is pretty, however.

Absolute waste of money. I bought this based on all the positive reviews. Wish I’d just read the one star reviews as they’re more accurate. This umbrella is so difficult to open that you’d be drenched by the time you finally got it open.

The umbrella is very good size, ideal for carrying in backpack pocket. a little bit flimsier than I expected, I hope it goes well in wind, as I am not sure how flexible it is. Ok so far.
