Forest Ultra Compact Mini Umbrella

Duckhead umbrellas for each family member and the cars, too!

I love the fact these umbrellas are PFAS free, which does mean it takes longer for them to dry, but it is something important to me and I am supportive of. The colours are gorgeous and really lightweight to carry around.

While the colour and fabric material are nice, the functionality and comfort of the mini umbrella is very poor. Opening the umbrella takes a fair bit of effort, as does closing it, and especially wrapping the velcro around the canopy folds to fit it into its pouch (impossible without a lot of patience). The canopy spokes do not fit into the handle properly, so it never clicks fully shut. Also the handle is so uncomfortable - small and slippery and so terrible to hold when trying to hold on to the umbrella when it’s windy or your hands are cold and numb! Unfortunately, I cannot return the product as I have opened and used it, but honestly will not be using it as it is just so impractical, and not much smaller than some regular umbrellas!
