00:00Hey guys, I'm very excited to review for you today this really cute little travel umbrella
00:04from Vaudini. In this video, I'm going to be giving you a nice close look, showing you how
00:08it works, as well as getting into all of the different features and the downsides so you
00:11can know whether or not this will be right for you. First off, as you can see, it comes in this
00:14lovely little case that matches the black color that I chose. It also has this nice little strap.
00:20It's definitely very portable. Let me go ahead and open it up. Interestingly, it opens up like
00:26all the way. And it's kind of double-cased, so we've got this main case. But if you want to make
00:30it even more compact, you can go caseless and just keep this little fabric case. Now here's our
00:36umbrella. It is a compact 7 inches. Definitely great for putting into a small purse crossbody.
00:43I'm going traveling soon, so I got this specifically for that purpose and I've really liked it so far.
00:47Now I'm going to go ahead and open it up. So we've got the snap. So I'm just going to open it like so.
00:52So I'm just going to put my fingers right inside. Don't push the button that's inside. Just put your
00:57fingers next to it and hold it. And then push it up like so. Now as you'll see here, it's got this
01:02six-ribbed design. I have loved this for keeping the sun from beating down. It's great for rain.
01:09I will say the handle down here, it's a little bit trickier to hold. It's not very comfortable,
01:14this little ball right here. But it does the trick. And now let's talk about my main complaint,
01:18which is that unfortunately it's kind of a flimsier umbrella. I mean, it's compact. What do
01:22you really expect? But if it's a windy day like this, it's going to be going crazy. Like the six
01:27ribs do keep the nice structure, the shape for the most part. But with a lot of wind, it goes a lot
01:34crazier than a standard larger umbrella. But now let me close it. So I'm just going to push the button,
01:40bring it right back down. There we are. Wrap it up and then bring that lovely strap around and snap it
01:46again. A little bit finicky. I probably should have put it a bit higher up, but it does the trick.
01:50So honestly, my only real complaint can get a bit flimsy when it's a very windy day. It's kind of
01:56trickier to hold as well. Other than that, if you're looking for a great compact travel umbrella,
02:00I'm going somewhere where it's kind of unexpectedly rainy. So I love that I'll be able to have this just
02:06in my crossbody when I'm walking around the city, just in case I need it. It's pretty easy to open
02:11and close. Just hold on to it nice and tight if it gets windy and just be careful. Hope you love it just as
02:15much as I do.
