Folding umbrella fairly standard size, mas significantly heavier than other models I've owned. Although in a backpack, probably in a bulky purse. Exudes strength, but I have not had to suffer tornado, will not come back to talk about if it happens: p The opening system is very stylish, support (strong, the button is hard enough) it opens and unfolds it. Further support closes, but without fold. The mechanism is armed when folded by hand, umbrella. The pressure is strong enough exercise. Note that I saw the same mechanism on other umbrellas, less well made, this is not an "original" system. It works this well said.
Edit: As promised, a return of the first uses situation: heavy rain, wind. Well .... I'm thrilled! The umbrella is actually quite light in hand, and is resistant to wind. Its shape allows it not to do "veil", as the two layers of fabrics that allow air to pass and avoid the great reversal. My best umbrella "always" clearly!
