Vortex V2 54" Vented Jumbo Compact

I purchased this compact size umbrella for my wife along with another for me, referenced at end of this review. I was amazed when I opened this compact umbrella. Little did I know when I opened it, that the arc size on this was as described, "JUMBO" size. The steel frame with the cable enforced technology is amazingly strong. I can see why it is rated to withstand wind speeds up to 75 mph. The rubber grip feels great and provides for a firm hold. In fact, I find it a bit heavier than my umbrella, the "Stratus Collection 50" Arc Manual Stick Umbrella, style #7400174001". My spouse and I both admire this umbrella, but it belongs to her. She always keeps it in her vehicle.

I love these compact umbrellas, they perform great and fit in my truck and car door pocket perfectly. I’ve bought 4 so far and love them all

Excellent and sturdy. It's a little heavier than the dollar store ones because it is built to last.

I am in love with this umbrella. Super solid, and heavy, and I need all colors.

The Vortex V2 54” is great, but the older umbrella that I submitted a warranty on for a broken spine, I’ve yet to receive any form of communication and it’s been many many weeks. Not impressed if this is the way that warranty issues are handled.
