Over the years, I can’t recount how many umbrellas I have accumulated (which have mostly ended up in a forgotten cranny, or embarrassingly tattered). But I’ve found my solution! Gotta say this really clever invention has given me one less thing to worry about in my life. I’m all about simplifying, and this umbrella is keeping it simple for me.
Looking back at my other umbrellas it dawned on me the faults that have been hiding in plain sight - they’re either ginormously big and don’t fit nicely anywhere, or they’re too cheaply made.
Here’s what stands out about Umbrella by Drive Auto Products in my opinion:
1. High quality construction with a metal frame, for example the central pole that is not going to bend like plastic or break like an old car antenna.
2. Artistic handle pattern of carbon fiber. Left a great impression of value out of the box.
3. Shoots open by pushing the handle button. I can could see how this be gimmicky, but it actually opens in a very strong motion and does save me the hassle of fidgeting to open.
4. Universal color works for me. It’s one shade lighter than black. (really dark grey)
5. When you yank it backwards for example to simulate wind blowing it out of form, it springs into an “inside out” form. I’m sure this is to prevent the wire frame from breaking or fabric tearing from wind. You then can just push it back into regular shape from inside out.
6. Of course lastly the obvious greatness of this umbrella is the car holster! I have found the perfect location to keep it in my car. It’s behind the backseat center console armrest. Perfectly inconspicuous, clean, and available. It was easy to pull the holder tight and I like that nothing wiggles or makes noise when driving.
If you are also tired of misplacing your umbrella and want to buy one that will be with you at all times, I recommend this Umbrella to put things on Auto Pilot. It is well-designed, durable, reliable, and comfortable to use.
To bring this review full circle I am trying to brainstorm faults and areas of improvement, and honestly not coming up with much. I would say out of the box it looked slightly confusing being that I like things simple and all. After realizing that I just had to remove 1 of the 2 mountings straps that were not needed for me to mount behind headrest, it was very straightforward.
