WindPro^® Auto Open & Close Umbrella

I love this umbrella! A button on the lower handle opens it and shuts it, a good feature if one is carrying packages & bags. It's apparently wind-resistant, but I've not used it in the wind yet. Most of all, it's stylish and good-looking! I use it when I wear a red trench raincoat and get lots of compliments. The white dots on black on the umbrella, and the red coat are perfect. Throw in some black boots, too. Oh yes, and it's made right here in rainy Portland, Oregon, USA!

This is my third try on this umbrella. I think the rainbow polka dots are super cute. However, I used my first umbrella twice and the handle broke. I ordered a new umbrella and returned the broken one. The second umbrella broke the first time I used it. A couple of the rods broke when I closed it. Because it’s so cute and because Nordstrom has such a great return policy, I decided to try it a third time. I live in Los Angeles, so I don’t get much rain. I have used the third umbrella once with no problem. I’ll see how long it lasts. I’m very thankful for Nordstrom’s very lenient return policy. I would be so much more disappointed if it had been difficult to return/replace the broken umbrellas.
