Sport-Brella Premiere vs AmazonBasics Automatic Travel Umbrella with Wind Vent

Thankfully, the second one they sent me was packed properly in the box and was A-Okay.. Now both of these sun shades open up the same way

When I got it, I was pleasantly surprised at it's size. It was compact but wasn't too small. Now, with that being said, this is not a large umbrella. If it was raining hard, it wouldn't have protected me much

You need and tensor hassle to lug around and hard to set up the sport. Brella is the perfect alternative. It's lightweight carries easily sets up inst...

Since the closing isn't automatic and you have to anchor it manually, there has been times that I tried to just open the umbrella back to use again going back outside, but was unable to do so until I closed it completely and locked it down, then pushed the button to automatically snap it open again. It requires that snap of the button release to lock in the open position to be useful in the rain. It is a nice size for storing next to the drivers seat between the door and the seat.

This replaced my old worn-out sports umbrella. Really like the new auger pole and twist handles. Bought the 9 ft which gives more room, but miss the cozy 8 ft. Bought the blue, but miss the orange that is no longer available

I wanted a compact umbrella while carrying things from/to my house. At 38 inches, the canopy is sized and weighted for protection without being cumbersome. My headline says "semi-automatic" because the button does not fully reverse the opening action. Initially, the button will extend the shaft and expand the canopy

Ended up holding upside down and letting gravity assist in opening. Other than that it is very well made.

I've had this for a little over a year, and it works well enough with rain and wind. My biggest complaint is that the velcro has basically stopped working to hold it closed. That's not a big deal except that I carry it in my bag, and the velcro often comes loose and lets the umbrella fabric spread out inside the bag. Better-quality velcro or another half-inch of it would have helped a lot

This product keeps the sun and rain off of you. I use mine for ball games and it is so easy to put up! I also like how light weight it is and so easy to carry!

Best Feature: May be silly, but my favorite thing about this umbrella so far is that the umbrella is easy to wrap up into a compact size and fits perfectly back in the sleeve after use. Con: In my opinion, the curved handle makes holding it more difficult than a normal handle. That's the only thing I prefer about my old Tote umbrella over this Amazon Basic Umbrella. Overall, good umbrella for the price

It anchors down nicely, can take pretty good winds if anchored down properly. Window vents are helpful on super hot days, it’s also nice they zip close for when it rains. I like how the umbrella lays on its side on the ground, for using it in a crowd it’s nice not blocking the view for others.

We both really appreciated how well this umbrella performed! It kept both of us nice and dry and at the same time while we literally seen other umbrella's flip inside out from the wind this umbrella took the beating. We opened and closed this umbrella several dozen times over the course of a week and it never failed us once. Another nice feature is how light weight and portable it is, it folds back up easily and tucks into a small purse or bag with no problem. I heard complaints that this was a Bear to get back in it's case, and it is, but we never had to use the case again after we took it out, it really didn't give it much smaller of a profile, so we just chucked the bag

So let me show ya after using this for so long, a lot of the rivets have fallen off or are no longer usable. So, like this one you can see is pretty w...

I had to put a little effort in getting it back down. The spring is that strong, hopefully it holds up through use.

I wish I would have realized how much larger and heavier this one is compared to my last one. I will be keeping it. Just make sure that you really want one this big and heavy.

The only problem with this product is it weight. Most portable umbrellas are light but not this one. Good price, great color, keeps me dry. Wish it was lighter to carry
