This is the first time I am making a purchase from this company, I was a bit nervous because I have standards when it comes to buying umbrellas. I did not know if it was sturdy enough and if it can surpass the high winds here in NY that comes from the ocean. However, I am very happy with the purchase<br /><br />The package arrived on time and it was tightly packed.<br /><br />It is not like the light weight umbrellas, this has some weight which means that it will be very strong and will last me and other people who did buy this umbrella a long time. I like the option that it can automatically open and close, which I find really cool. But you still need to lock it in after the umbrella closes which I hope in the future will close automatically too.<br /><br />I went out in the rain with this umbrella, but it wasn't crazy rain (there wasn't enough wind) so I cannot say how well will this survive if I went out in the hurricane like weather. I will update if this breaks in heavy rain!<br /><br />UPDATE: New York had some heavy snow on January 23 2015. I went out for a walk and took this umbrella with me. It served as a great shield to prevent the snowfall into my eyes. There was some heavy winds, but the umbrella survived and it did not break. I am so happy that I bought this umbrella with me into the snowfall. It has helped a lot.<br /><br />Overall, I extremely satisfied with this purchase, and I highly recommend this product.<br /><br />Disclaimer: I got this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
