Holds up through wind, rain & swimming in the lake. It resists dirt and sweat stains. Would definitely buy again!

Just received both umbrellas in perfect shape.  They appear quite sturdy and well-made in a compact size.  The size makes it easy to keep it in my briefbag for quick access.  The lifetime guarantee is big plus especially given the very reasonable price.  No rain in the forecast here, but will have a chance to use it in other cities and will update when I do. Holding off on the final star pending usage.

An update:

This umbrella really lives up to the claims! Truly repels water and is sturdy in strong wind gusts!  Purchased a third one for the car (first is in my briefcase, gave the other away).

Very nice colors & large enough for 2 to sit under.  Love the screw in anchoring system.  Can't wait to use it - its been raining ever since we received it !!  :(

Very water-tight, light-weight, durable. Room for layering clothing underneath. Even in puddles that are deeper than the rubber boots are high, this rain suit, over the boots, keeps the water out. My only complaint is the hood is not adjustable/doesn't have drawstrings, so on a windy day, it keeps blowing back.

I swim daily, and this suit holds up even in highly chlorinated water.  The fit is perfect, and keeps its shape.  I recommend washing the suit after each use in a product like Woolite to prolong the life of the material.

It has lasted 2 years outside, summer & winter and I am going to try for one more summer. I have had to chase it down a few times too during heavy winds and it's still in good shape. Good value and great product!

Update: Today is 1/13/16 and have been using this now during several high-wind days with heavy rains. The products has performed well. I think I forgot to mention that the handle isn't as tall as other umbrellas. When fully extended it remains fairly close to you. This feature is what most likely helps it keep from getting wind caught up under it. Its close enough over you it keeps rain out. I've been in some horrible gusts yesterday and today but through it all this umbrella has survived. I am actually quite impressed. Its become my front seat passenger. Its siting with me at work right now too. I plan on using it if its still raining when I leave. I am changing my 4 star review to 5 stars. Original review is below:

I am on the Oregon coast so we get a lot of wind and rain here. I needed an umbrella that would be compact and windproof. This appears to be well made. It hasn't been too windy to test it out to the fullest but from the look and feel it appears sturdy.

I love that its a one button operation to open and close. Never seen one function for closing too. My daughter chose the yellow color. It's a nice shade: bright and cheery.

I received this umbrella at a promotional price to test out and review. Will update if it breaks or withstands the high winds and heavy rain here.

3/3/2016 UPDATE: So yesterday we had a high wind warning with gusts up to 40 MPH (I swear that part of the forecast was an understatement) and lots of rain. It was miserable. I have to walk a ways to pick my daughter up from school so I took the umbrella with me as I left my car. I did have it turn inside out a few times on my way to and from the school but it never actually broke. I just turned away from the wind and let the wind actually flip the umbrella back downward. This wind never technically broke the umbrella and I did get wet in those few brief moments of fixing the umbrella but I was the ONLY person foolish enough to actually have an umbrella in those high winds we had yesterday. I wouldn't have let my daughter hold it for sure... the wind was strong enough to sweep her away. So my thoughts are still positive with this umbrella. It will bend to horrible wind gusts but can rebound from it without the umbrella permanently breaking. Still loving it. Its a good umbrella.

Decent Gazebo for the price! Very strong and sturdy; We experienced real high winds in New York 2-3 times since the summer began; Gazebo is still standing, didn't need to bolt it down or support with sand bags; My only issue is that the fabric droops when water settles on top; should have been built with a water resistant fabric or some way to have the water not pool on top; so I just go out and use a broom to push the water off when it pools to one section/ side!!

Haven't tested it in strong winds, but so far it holds up really well after a few pouring rains. Love how it's comfortably large enough for 2 adults but still easily fits any bag when folded. Ingenious design!

I bought this cover beginning of the year when I moved to Oregon and since it rained a lot I wanted a good sturdy one that wouldn't fall apart within the fist few months. So far this cover has held up to wind, lots of rain, didn't fade in the summer and still works great. As far as sizing goes my 1900CC Yamaha Raider fits perfectly under this cover and it's a pretty big bike. Would definitely buy again although I doubt I'll need to for several years at least.

Great product, we bought 2 last year to give us some privacy around our small pool.  It was up from the end of June until
the end of September through all types of rain & wind.  It did not blow down, nor did it tear.  We are so impressed that
we will be purchasing a 3rd one for more privacy while swimming. We even decorated for pool party we had.

This is a great umbrella and it really holds up against crazy winds. I love the case too! It keeps my purse dry when I need to put it away quickly. As for the size, I have a small/medium size tote bag for work. It fits nicely inside while still leaving room for my wallet and other items.

I paired this up with a Rite in the Rain spiral notebook. The cover is rugged and stands up to abuse. I work outdoors and it is constantly exposed to water, sand, wind, I've even dropped it a few times and i has not ripped or torn. The zipper is quality and has yet to seize on me or not close. I recommend this cover.

It is sturdy and has withstood the heavy rain and wind. I would order it again.

I wore this during our recent hurricane weather. Held up wonderfully. I also wore it over the weekend for a diabetes walk in pouring down, torrential rain. VERY pleased with the quality.

I bought this after becoming way too tan at the beach. I needed to hide from the sun for a while and my previous parasol from Coolibar had gotten destroyed by the wind. I decided to avoid the travel size this time around because more joints/hinges means less sturdy. I'm pleased with this one - its held up in gusts of wind, works for rain (though I don't intentionally use it for that), and has a large diameter. The carrying case is great to prevent the silver surface from getting scratched/damaged. I also don't feel hot when using it - perhaps the vents allow the hot air to escape. My tan is fading and the umbrella (parasol) is holding up.
