Comments about REI Jumbo 54 Auto Umbrella:

As someone who spends a great deal of time waiting for public transportation and walking outdoors, I have been searching for an umbrella that can withstand gusts of wind without breaking or flipping upward. After reading the overwhelmingly positive reviews of the REI travel-sized umbrella, I decided to purchase this larger product mistakenly assuming that it was just a jumbo version of the travel-sized one. This umbrella is enormous (golf-size), which seemed ideal for more coverage, but within three minutes of using it in only moderate winds it flipped upward twice. Because this umbrella is so large, it was very difficult to control and took a great deal of struggle to return to its original position. I should also note that it takes two hands to completely close the umbrella after the button mechanism folds the spokes back down because the umbrella is so large.I am surprised and disappointed with the ineffectiveness of this product, particularly since it appears to be identical to the travel-size umbrella. Its description even boasts: "the REI Jumbo 54 umbrella is ready to take on wet and windy weather," "Vented canopy is engineered to resist extremely windy conditions," and "Steel-shaft-and-rib construction stands up to strong winds." I wonder if I am wrong in assuming that all of these descriptions imply it won't flip upside-down on a moderately windy day. I ended up returning it [...]and I've purchased the REI travel-size umbrella in hopes that the reviews hold up.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
