The light up umbrella works well. It has an easy change AAA battery not some weird short lived button cell that you never have a replacement for. The handle fits the little ones hand well and she knows how to turn the light on and off. Glad that I got it not only for Halloween but for those dark mornings we are into now.
Living in Louisiana, we get so much rain. This is the best umbrella I’ve ever used and holds up so well during wind!
Works wonders!, I just wish it had an extra support at the bottom to avoid scratches.
I absolutely LOVE this umbrella! My first one was black with a pink interior, and when I lost it, I was genuinely sad. Yes, sad over an umbrella! That's how much I loved it.
Two years ago, I purchased another one at Target. It was just sitting there on the rack with no other umbrellas around; this time black-on-black, and I'm just as happy. I do miss the pink interior, but black-on-black goes with all my outfits still.
The reverse-closing design is brilliant, especially when getting on and off the bus/train on a rainy day in San Francisco. It's practical, stylish, and super thoughtfully designed. We are about to get alot of rain this fall. I'm prepared for it.
I highly recommend this product!
It seems to work okay, it just feels so cheap and plasticky… so I don’t know how long it will last. I guess it’s good for the price point though. I’d recommend this umbrella if you don’t care about good quality or craftsmanship. If you do care about those things, just invest in a Davek umbrella.
I purchased this for a trip to Europe to use in the intense sun. Very glad to have and use rather than wearing a hat (which makes me hotter). In addition it is light weight and did not add significant weight to my carry on bag.
I have two Shed Rain Umbrellas, and I am happy with their performance, structure, and overall appearance. It would be great if you could create new patterns, like small polka dots, matte IN fashion patterns, etc. It is a very useful item, but it has to match the outfits too ;)
Absolutely love the umbrella. Very smooth when you open and close it. I do wish that the strap to secure it was a different color besides clear so it would be easier to spot it. The only thing I dislike is the fact that for the next week it’s not going to rain so I won’t be able to show off my new pretty umbrella.
Even though its small when closed,,when open its covers myself and someone else,,I liked this so much I purchased 2 of them,,one for home,,the other I'm leaving at my place of worship,,just in case a spot showers happens,,but more than likely I'll purchase the bigger one's as back up.
My second (or third..or 4th...or 6th) Shed.Rain. It is as excellent as advertised. I live in Chicago, and this umbrella stands up to the ripping wind along Michigan Avenue and Lake Shore Drive. Expensive, but worth every penny. Hardest part is not leaving it on the L! (also keep smaller version in my luggage!)
Less than a year later, 2 of the 3 large umbrellas I purchased either will not close completely, or won’t stay open. They were barely used and never subjected to strong winds. Meanwhile, the cheap Calloway golf umbrella I purchased from Costco years ago still functions perfectly. So disappointing!
I bought this umbrella as a birthday gift to myself and I was not disappointed. It is very sturdy and surely does withstand strong winds. Unfortunately, I took into church one Sunday in July 2026 and mistakenly forgot it in the restroom at the church. I tried effortlessly to retrieve my beautiful umbrella I paid so much for, but some devil at the church decided to steal my umbrella. Satan does go to church!! I cannot afford to replace it right now, maybe one day I will.
This umbrella seems to be a very well built umbrella but there are two things I think shedrain could add to make this line of umbrella better. First off add some reflective paneling on the top for individuals who commute in the nighttime, also it would be nice to see this umbrella come in a larger size that can comfortably accommodate 2 people maybe an addtional foot or foot and a half in diameter.They say this can accommodate 3 people but I can attest it doesn't work out the best for even 2 people. Another thing this umbrella is heavy duty so it weighs more than the average umbrella so if you're a person who commutes alot this might not be best suited for you.
Protected me against the sun rays while at soccer games, walking from car to the stores and / or gardening
Have an earlier Shedrain umbrella still working well with a fair amount of use. This one is just as comparable but a bit larger handle end
Love this umbrella, great design and durability, slight learning curve on opening and closing, lots of compliments and huge size.
Given that this is a compact umbrella, I was surprised by its weight. It's still a great umbrella, and I'm sure it will last me for years to come.
