"Probably the most I've spent on an umbrella but the quality is worth it."

Another added: "This is really well priced for what it is. I always seem to have my hands full while out with the kids, the automatic open/shut function makes it less of a hassle.

"I have had a few standard umbrellas that have caught my skin while shutting it, this eliminates that possibility!

"I love that it has a carry bag that soaks up the water and prevents my handbag from getting wet! Really great item!"
