LONDON FOGMini Rain Umbrella, Manual Folding Umbrella, Windproof, Lightweight and Packable for Travel, Full 42 Inch Arc

Excellent

This brand has been around for decades and is known for rainy weather gear. I wanted a small lightweight umbrella I could leave in my work bag for the days I don't check the weather forecast before running out the door. Unfortunately, this umbrella is either defective or made from inferior materials. My assumption is the brand has sold/lent their name to a cheaper manufacturer. I wasn’t able to fully open it and the materials felt like it would immediately come apart in the smallest gust of wind. Pros: lightweight and small. Cons: cheaply made and nonfunctional.

Bought a few of these for a trip to London since they are fairly compact. Unfortunately, they are not quite “windproof.” It got pretty windy and they did not quite hold up. They flipped inside out several times and while we were mostly able to get them back right, one of them became damaged beyond repair. Otherwise, they were decent umbrellas.

If you want an umbrella and don’t mind waiting till it’s only snow falling then I recommend this product. At this point I’ve given up ever receiving it

Wanted to Luv it because needed a travel umbrella, and manual are lighter than automatic umbrellas, but didn't want a dinky sized one.This one is almost as heavy as an automatic so was a fail for that purpose. Seems sturdy enough, though have not used it yet. Will have to bite the bullet and pay double for a lighter travel one.

Purchased for my daughter to keep in her backpack for university and the first time she used it with barely any wind it turned inside out. It’s also quite hard to open up which you don’t want when you’re needing to open up in a hurry.
