Yes it is expensive. I'm not super convinced; however I have not yet had the opportunity to use it.
Still, the mast does not seem particularly strong: it jamb when the umbrella is deployed ... The retractable rod or telescopic handle and the release button is correct. To close, do not dream (as I am naive ...), whales will flatten on the stick but he will not return to its initial state, it will make the effort to bring the rod to the base. There are 8 ribs.
Then, the U-shaped bag is nice and classy nonetheless I blame him for not being wide enough. There is only a small gap of 5 cm to wear either on his arm, or two fingers. But in fact the handle is slightly curved so it fits comfortably on his belt for example.
The brand umbrella, printed on the string Velcro to tighten the canvas, is made with rhinestones or shiny material. But it is not seen that much.
It is light that umbrella and it's a good point. By cons they send you in a box ten times too big.
I would tell you more notice of this review to help you decide when I have bad weather.
