5.0 out of 5 starsD. Herald: Best Umbrella I've Owned
Here on my campus, it seems to always be very windy, probably due to the flat land surrounding it. If you carry a $5 umbrella with you on a rainy day, you'll find yourself tilting it this way and that way, just to make sure the wind doesn't caught inside of it. With the ShedRain umbrella, this effect completely disappeared. The ShedRain doesn't seem to have any trouble dealing with wind. Plus, the automatic open/close feature on the umbrella really makes life a bit simpler.

Overall, if you're in need of a good umbrella, this product is the way to go.

5.0 out of 5 starsN. Lanzatella: Great Umbrella
This is a very nice mini umbrella, and does auto open AND close. It has a very thick sturdy shaft, and is made with semi-flexible spars that bend in the wind and prevent the umbrella from becoming a sail. It also has a vent hole on top, so in all it is quite stable in high winds. It is not the lightest umbrella ever, due to its sturdy construction, but it is light and small enough to carry around all the time in a backpack or briefcase no problem. I'm quite satisfied with this product. My only complaint would be that the button is kind of hard to push for auto-close, so if you have a weak grip you might want to try an umbrella with a more sensitive mechanism. On the other hand, this does effectively prevent accidental closures.

4.0 out of 5 stars K. Schaab: Good umbrella for Seattle weather
This umbrella is good for the weather here in Seattle. The rain does not seep through as quickly with this umbrella as with others in the same form factor. One thing that I did have a problem with is that this umbrella does not seem to do any better with handling the wind than an umbrella that is not vented. The Totes titanium that I have has the same amount of resistance to turning inside out as this umbrella. I think it is due to the fiberglass being less strong than the titanium, that or the vent is a gimic and is not useful at all. Either way this is a decent umbrella, I doubt there is an umbrella as compact that would not turn inside out when encountering strong gusts of wind.

3.0 out of 5 starsJ. Soderholm: Bigger then i thought
Is is a functional umbrella, but I had hoped that it should have been small. Also, the wind thing is no as efficient as i had hoped. The umbrella will turn it self, however less then usually.

2.0 out of 5 stars M. Osman: Not a windpro
I live in the DC area and do a fair bit of walking, so a good portable umbrellas is a must. This umbrella is pitched as a WindPro, however, it does not perform any better than a typical umbrella. In fact it turnsover with relative ease in the wind.

The only redeeming quality of this umbrellas is that the materials used and the construction feel solid. I wouldn't have been disappointed if this product wasn't marketed as a WindPro!

1.0 out of 5 starsT.I. Kim: What a unpleasant purchase...!!!!!!!!
I just got broken umbrella from this seller.

It can not stay in unfolded position.

Ugly Umbrella.
