Pros

  • Lightweight
  • Very easy to open and close
  • Excellent water resistance

This lightweight fully manual umbrella is exceptionally easy to open and close, though some may find the thin hook-shaped handle is somewhat uncomfortable to hold. The ShedRain 1253's grip is vinyl-covered and soft, but makes the umbrella somewhat less compact than models with straight handle designs. The vinyl-coated canopy offers good coverage and will keep you dry, even in a heavy downpour. It's lightweight too, but only comes in one color and style.
