Sharpty Inverted, Windproof, Reverse Umbrella for Women with UV Protection, Upside Down with C-Shaped Handle

I bought this item years ago, I guess it was on 2019 and I am still using it with no problem in 2025! I loved the durability! It dries easily and it's actually wind-proof! I highly recommend!!!

I bought a reversible umbrella for myself and my sister liked what it offered so much she asked me to get it for her for Christmas.Benefits and Things of Note:- Love how many different options there are. I get bored with solid colors and if it is going to rain then my philosophy is that I should have as much excitement in the rain as I possibly can. The pictures on it are tasteful and add just a pop of color that add a bit of pizzazz.- Absolutely perfect for when you walk into a building. One of the best things about it is that all the water gets trapped inside the closed up umbrella. Meaning that when you walk into a building you aren't dripping water and don't need one of the plastic covers they offer you at the entrance.- Getting out of and into a car is made a lot simpler and easier during heavy rain moments. All you need to do is barely have your car door open to close up or open this umbrella, which is a nice change from regular umbrellas where you have to basically have to have the car door wide open to close them up.- Handle has a little more to grab onto than other umbrellas, which is nice when you have other things in your hands. Definitely allows you to have more in your umbrella holding hand if you need to.

Take it from me: I grew up in one of the rainiest places on Earth. We almost get scuba licenses with our driver's licenses, okay? The Pacific Northwest tests any umbrella to the hilt, and this lovely specimen holds up against the hardest pelt, persistent drizzle or monsoon bombardment of November with grace. It dealt with Midwest summer thunderstorms better than much bigger, fancier umbrellas and I'm still chuckling dry (mostly) on a windy, wet day in November. This storm reminded me to write my review. It's held up where other lesser umbrellas would have turned inside out or simply cowered in the closet. Not so my trusty inverted Parisian umbrella!The inverted umbrella design is long overdue for a wave of popularity, partly because functionality and form are not sacrificed. Having the inverted form allows for multiple layers, assuring you won't get wet nor will you spray everyone in a ten-foot radius by simply opening or shutting the thing. The handle is great if you need to get a firm grip or hang a small bag from it on your walk. Sometimes you just need your hands free, and the C grip is soft, supple, and durable.I drop a star from this for the inherent weakness of the metal tips on the tines. If one of those gets knocked off, it very easily disrupts the outer 'skin' of the umbrella. Tension declines, but trying to wrestle that tip back into place can be arduous and painstaking work without tearing or breaking something.

I cannot be in the sun and hats hurt my head. My daughter saw these amazing umbrellas and bought me one to use on outings to the park, amusement park, shopping, etc. I was really surprised by how well it worked! The umbrella has a little weight to it, but I got used to that after the first use. I found that I did not hold the umbrella by the "C" handle, as I felt the weight might snap the "C" handle off from the pole. (I had also read reviews that said the "C" handle broke off and for this reason took away a star). It felt most comfortable holding the umbrella pole just above the "C" handle. When in the ladies room, I could be hands free by putting my hand thru the "C" and carrying the umbrella on my wrist. This feature is great when shopping, looking at items, paying, etc. The velcro strap keeps the umbrella closed and easy to carry or store. I love the leaves on the interior - outside it makes me feel like I am under the trees. The opposite way the umbrella closes takes a little getting used to from a standard umbrella. But, after several openings and closings, you get the hang of it. Love this umbrella - rain or shine!

This umbrella makes me smile every time i use it. I moved somewhere that has lots of rain, and never had an umbrella because I found them annoying.. Not this one! it's closes/opens in a reverse style so it's easy use when getting out of the car or stepping out of a building. The handle design makes it easy to hang on things when not in use, and is fun to hold when in use. Plus the fact that the design is on the inside is just the best! I can glance up and enjoy the design myself, not everyone else around me.. any why else get a pretty design if it isn't for me? Makes me happy every time I open this umbrella.Also for note my car doesn't get all wet when I close it because it closes backwards! :)

I have two of these - one for each car. Inverted Umbrella - Genius! When the umbrella is closed, the rain drops stay inside, so the car [or store or home] doesn't get wet.

This umbrella is great to open up during the rain while getting out of the car and not letting you getting wet.

I had never seen one of these before until I ran into a friend with one at an event where it was pouring down rain. She demonstrated how handy it was so I ordered one the next day. I have used it a handful of times and absolutely love it ... it makes a big difference especially getting in and out of the car during a downpour. I have found it to be sturdy, easy to operate, and I love all the different designs you can choose from. What I don't like about it is the fact that it is so large I can't shove it under the seat when not in use; I don't love the handle, but haven't tried using it the way it was advertised to be used ... by sliding it on your wrist, and there is a small plastic ring that came lose from the extension pole ... but it does not seem to be affecting the operation of the umbrella. Since I bought my own I have also purchased one as a birthday gift, and already have three more in my cart as Christmas gifts.
