What we liked
- + Eight reinforced fiberglass ribs are designed to flip inside out under pressure instead of breaking
- + Folds to 11.3 inches and weighs under 1 lb, small enough for a backpack pocket or carry-on
- + Auto open with a slip-resistant ergonomic handle, and a high-density water-resistant canopy that dries quickly
Trade-offs
- - Closing takes two steps: the button retracts the canopy, then the shaft is pushed down by hand until it clicks
- - Built to invert in strong gusts rather than resist them, so it has to be flipped back after a hard blow
