AmazonBasics has always surprised me in that they provide a variety of products that are not only useful, but high quality and rivals and even beats the price of some other products. This umbrella is no exception and my expectations were high. Unsurprisingly, this is one of the best and most affordable umbrellas I’ve ever used.
-Design-
This is a no frills basic umbrella, so there isn’t much to talk about in terms of design. However, there are some small, subtle details that I appreciate Amazon added to it. For instance, the handle has a comfortable design and it is covered in soft touch plastic that adds a premium feel that you don’t find from a plastic handle. There isn’t much in the way of Amazon branding apart from the strap that holds the umbrella together when folded. It is also very compact, which makes it small enough to carry anywhere, such as in the car, in a bag, or in a backpack. But it is still large enough to cover 2 small people or, in my case, one big guy.
-Function-
The umbrella has a nice open/close button that works as advertised and opens the bag with a satisfying amount of force and closes the umbrella that makes it easy to fold. Granted, while this is a convenient addition, it does look like something that could potentially be a problem in the future. But for now, it is nice to use. The fabric used for the umbrella itself is great and water doesn’t leak and water flows nicely away. The construction itself is good and the frame feels really sturdy. I used it in the brief storm that we have right now in Los Angeles and it does resist the winds fairly well. However, it does feel like anything stronger than the winds that are outside right now will destroy it. Nevertheless, this is still great for this umbrella, especially given its price. Just don’t expect it to handle hurricane level winds.
-Conclusion-
I’ve used a couple of umbrellas that were in this price range that were flimsy and didn’t last more than a month. But this umbrella sets the new standard for cheap umbrellas that should be enough for most, if not all, people who don’t want to get wet in the rain. And with the wet season fast approaching, there has never been a perfect time to purchase an umbrella. Definitely a top pick for me and AmazonBasics once again delivers a great product.

It relies an internal mechanism in the shaft to keep tension on an elastic band to keep the umbrella open. However, if the internal mechanism of the band breaks then it is impossible to keep open.
Make sure that you have a better umbrella when you get caught in the rain.
