Great product but false claim of close with button

This is a nice weight and well constucted umbrella. The description of using the down button to close it was not true. The down button does nothing. Still have to close it the old fashion way. This was a disappointment.

Weak construction

4 months ago

I've owned two of these umbrellas. The first worked fine for a few uses and then an internal component/cable broke due to the force of the opening spring and it would no longer stay open at all. The second one I purchased literally broke the first time I⁸ opened it. Very disappointing product.

Great buy!

I’ve used this a few times during travel. My only criticism is it doesn’t easily fit into the travel slots most backpacks have for an umbrella. It is heavy duty and so far it doesn’t bend in heavy rain/wind. Easily shields two people. Wish it came in other colors.

Excellent

Best umbrella that I ever had. At the same time it is the most expensive umbrella I’ve ever had. It is worth it though.

Large but with fragile structure

7 months ago

Umbrella opens well and one can learn to close it easily in short order. Do not do what I did and have successfully done with umbrellas in the past... to get rain off the umbrella before entering a home or building, DO NOT spin/rotate the umbrella. Open and close a couple of times only. The collapsible shaft and numerous other fragile components are too easily damaged. Will not close again. Too bad. 45 bucks gone...

Great umbrella, if only it didn’t RUST!

9 months ago

Was super excited when I bought this umbrella, nice and compact yet opens to a near full size umbrella. Unfortunately, all the hinges and pins Began to rust after the first use. By the second use, the rust got bad enough as to stain the fabric. Returned it soon after.

ShedRain 54"

9 months ago

This would be my second purchase of this umbrella. The only reason I purchased it again is because one of my lovely offspring took the first one. I've used this umbrella during hurricane type weather and it made it through. I don't believe any umbrella will not flip inside out during extremely high winds but this one flipped inside out and back without any damage! It's easy to carry, I can easily put it in a backpack. It's large enough to cover two people. Not only do I recommend it, I will purchase another one if this one goes missing!

broke after two uses

8 months ago

Broke after two uses just like my small vortex. Fails to collapse all the way and fails to stay open. Stays in the extended position, but not opened, loss of function.

Amazing umbrella

2 years ago

This umbrella never turns inside out. It is big enough to cover everything and not drip on your backside. Easy to handle. A bit heavy.

disappointed

I bought this a month ago. It worked on the first try and then never worked again. The touch open button stopped working and the item wouldn’t stay open. Exchanged for another Shed Rain product. Fingers crossed
