RUMBRELLA Black Hook Handle Umbrella Windproof UPF 50+, j Stick UV Umbrellas Auto Open 54IN

I originally purchased this umbrella to go along with a cosplay but also wanted to be sturdy. It was important for me that the umbrella have the J-styled hook/handle and also a tip at the top. Regardless of my original reasons for buying this umbrella, I have to say that this is hands down the best umbrella I've purchased. It is sturdy and spacious so I can actually get someone else under the umbrella with me (or if I'm carrying a lot of things know that they'll be protected under the umbrella). The umbrella is visually stunning as well, with its distinct shape and attributes. I sometimes feel like spinning the umbrella just for fun. I also feel it can easily go along with most outfits, whether casual or formal. (Or in one case, in a costume). The best part of the umbrella is the shoulder sling and also the only part where I might have a complaint. The shoulder sling makes this umbrella incredibly portable, easy to hang up, etc. It can be bundled up and stored in a bag, purse, satchel, etc. easily when you're using the umbrella. Getting the umbrella back in the shoulder sling is best done when the umbrella is not wet (so as to make sure it won't get any mildew smell). Make sure the shoulder sling is completely open, the umbrella is completely wrapped up, and you should have no trouble slipping it in. If you try to force it in then you run the risk of the tip tearing the shoulder sling. Now, what do you do if your shoulder sling rips because you were walking and the sling got caught on something and instead of stopping, you kept trying to walk with stupid confidence? Well, you'd be upset about the shoulder sling breaking, but be glad the the rest of the umbrella is still usable. The J-styled hook/handle still makes it super easy to hang. But it is a bit harder to carry around when not using without the shoulder sling. So I ended up reordering this. The whole thing primarily for the shoulder sling and gifted the other umbrella to a friend who was fine without having the shoulder sling. (She actually used it as a stage prop in one of her theater shows). I am glad I repurchased it as I can use the umbrella to its fullest. Other things to note is that the umbrella does have some weight to it. It's not a burden to carry but neither is it lightweight like a collapsible, purse-sized umbrella might be. I've had too many smaller umbrellas break, umbrellas from box stores just not be sturdy enough, and generally stopped carrying an umbrella because of it. This umbrella changed that for me! Final thoughts. Get this umbrella if you want something extremely reliable, but know that if the shoulder sling breaks it can still be usable. It just depends on your preference. Also, get this umbrella for things like costumes and stage productions! I think it can look quite great as a prop while also being functional.

Have yet to test in violent weather, but it's been working in the rain so far. Has a smooth opening and closing action and a rubber point so you don't hurt anyone if you poke them. Also, I really appreciate that the button is embedded nicely on the back side of the hook instead of being that gaudy gem that vintage and imitation umbrellas use. The overall aesthetic of the umbrella is sleek and professional. If there's a chance you will be sharing the umbrella this is the perfect size for two people without being too large for just one person. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a functional umbrella that looks great too.

I don't get to excited over umbrella's but this one is perfect in every way. It opens and closes easily, the materials and craftsmanship are excellent. It is a great size and the color is a perfect shade of red. I would buy it again!

Has a wide width which protects both me and the large bag I usually carry daily. Comes with a protective sleeve and the color is bright and stands out in a crowd.

Sturdy and big umbrella what can early cover my backpack. It’s a bit heavy and the handle is thick, which I wish it’s slightly slimmer so that it’s easier to hold.

It's quality and works good8

If it’s raining get this! If it’s sunny get this! If it’s sunny but might rain later get this! If you don’t give a crap about actual weather and you just want a sturdy, sleek, umbrella with the most comfortable crook handle with the smoothest mechanical action next to Dwayne Johnson, and a style that says “fortune 500 club” get this!

Nice umbrella! Made of good quality! Would buy again! Highly recommend.
