My oldest son starts middle school this year and will be riding a bus so I knew he was going to need a good sturdy umbrella for rainy days. This comes in a cardboard cylinder container and has a storage sleeve to place the umbrella in when not in use. Although since I have ordered this it hasn't rained yet so therefore I can't say how well it works quite yet and how fast it dries. This is super easy to open and close unlike some umbrellas out there. My 12 year old son was able to open and close this with no problems. Just with a click of a button it automatically opens with ease. To close this you just push down from the top and click the button to automatically close it. The colors of this could go either way for boy or girl if you was to get it for your child. I have not used an umbrella myself since I was a child because I had a bad experience with one, but this one seems really sturdy from what I can and I love the ease of it that I would probably even use this on a rainy day. The umbrella is easy to pull out and place in the sleeve it comes with. Easy to hold and I really like the double vented canopy. I'm so ready to test this out in rainy, windy weather.
