  • Solid Everyday Umbrella That Feels a Step Above the Cheap Ones
Color: Black
I picked this up because my last travel umbrella finally gave out after one too many gusty downpours in Florida. The cheap ones always end up inverted or with broken ribs, so I wanted something with a vented canopy and a bit more quality without spending a fortune. My expectations were pretty basic: decent wind resistance, easy one-handed operation, and something compact enough to toss in my carry-on. I've been using it for the past week on a mix of quick errands around town and a short trip where I got caught in afternoon thunderstorms. The auto open/close button works smoothly—one press and it pops up fast, same for closing. The real wood handle with those finger notches is genuinely comfortable to grip, even when it's pouring and your hands are wet. It feels premium in a quiet way, not flashy. The vented double canopy does a good job in moderate wind. I walked through a couple of blustery showers and it didn't flip inside out like my old one always did. The canopy is a nice size for a folding model—keeps your shoulders mostly dry without being bulky when closed. It dries reasonably quick too, which is handy when you're hopping between air-conditioned stores and humid Florida air. That said, it's a little heavier and longer when collapsed than the super-minimal travel umbrellas out there. Fine for me since I usually throw it in a backpack or suitcase, but if you're trying to squeeze it into a tiny purse, you might notice. The closing mechanism takes a bit more push at the end to fully collapse and lock, nothing major but worth mentioning. Pros: Comfortable real wood handle with good grip Reliable auto open/close Vented canopy handles wind better than basic umbrellas Feels well-made and looks nicer than plastic-handle alternatives Decent value—better quality than the $15-20 options without jumping to luxury prices Cons: Slightly bulkier/heavier than ultra-compact models Closing fully requires a firm push Overall it met my expectations and then some on the feel and daily usability. It's not indestructible in hurricane-force winds, but for normal travel and city rain, it's a reliable step up. Definitely worth the price if you want something that doesn't feel disposable. ... show more

  • “Serious Umbrella”
Color: Dark Navy
In the words of my teenager, “this is a serious umbrella.” It’s very sturdy and is quality built. I haven’t had any trouble with it. No turning upside down in the wind or anything. Good protection.

  • Pretty good
Color: Olive Green
It’s ok. I mean for $28 it’s one of the best. It has British design but a cheaper feel. Looks expensive but feels like how much it costs.

  • The Best Travel Umbrella I've Used...
Color: Black
So when it comes to umbrellas, I always thought you had to make a choice: either a big golf umbrella for quality (but a lack of portability, plus it's expensive), or a smaller one for an on-the-go lifestyle (cheap, and cheaply made). So color me pleasantly shocked with this umbrella from Balios. For starters, when I opened the box, I was happy to see that it was a decent weight... you could tell it had a bit of a rugged feel that made me feel this thing, before trying, "felt" well-made. Then I saw the handle. Yes, the style is nice (though style doesn't really make me purchase an umbrella, per se), but the ergonomic grip was fabulous. My hand felt like it belonged there, and that it would be easier to hold should conditions be more blustery than an average rain shower. The first time I pushed the button, it opened effortlessly, and I was really surprised to see a vented canopy, like you'd see in much bigger (and much more expensive) umbrellas. I haven't seen too many like that in this size, and I have to say it was really impressive. But the real clincher for me happened this past Saturday. Sadly, we've had a TON of rain in the area where I live this year, with flooding at near-historic levels. It seems like every other day we're getting rain, and not just the wetness, but lots of wind, as well. We had a ridiculous soaker the other night, with a good 15-20 MPH wind. I don't care how well this thing feels like it's built... it's not going to stand up to the weather. Or so I thought. This umbrella not only kept the top third of my body dry (not a whole lot you can do with blowing rain), but it held its shape and didn't fly up like many I saw that evening. I was absolutely shocked. And it fits two people surprisingly well, though adding a third means that one of you is getting at least half-soaked. I seriously cannot recommend this umbrella enough, and I will absolutely be buying a few more to keep in our cars, as well as by the front door. It really is remarkable. ... show more

  • Stylish, sturdy and practical — perfect for the Caribbean!
This Balios folding umbrella exceeded my expectations. The design is elegant and masculine, with a classic British touch. The wooden handle is real wood, not cheap plastic pretending to be something else — it feels solid and premium in hand. The fabric looks high-quality, and the automatic open/close mechanism works smoothly, which is extremely convenient, especially when sudden rain catches you off guard. Living in the Caribbean, I know I’ll get great use out of this both for sun and rain. One small concern: the spring-loaded auto system feels a bit sophisticated, so I’m curious about its long-term durability. But with proper care, I believe it will hold up just fine. In short, this umbrella combines style, function, and value in one. I’m genuinely happy with the purchase and would definitely recommend. ... show more

  • So far so good.
Color: Black
The wooden handle and double canopy (to allow air to escape on a windy day) were the main reasons for this purchase. Leave it to the British to design a nice umbrella, but the Chinese to actually make it. (As in this case.) Initially, the standard colors of (yawn!) black, grey and green almost eliminated the Balios for me. But the more I looked around, the initially chosen sky lining (inner layer) of another model made room for a seemingly better build quality. (Which is putting a lot of trust into online descriptions.) Once received, the umbrella turned out slightly smaller and lighter than I anticipated. In fact, it’s nearly identical to a department store umbrella it replaced. The automatic open/close mechanism is fairly standard for this type of umbrella. Push a button and it opens fully (provided you took it out of the sleeve first). Push the same button again, and it folds the canopy without retracting the shaft. That still needs to be done by hand, but again that very much how most of them work. The springs in the Balios that are associated with the open/close are fairly stout and at least initially may surprise you with the force needed to actuate. To me it’s not a big deal. The canopy consists of two partially overlapping layers. This is not meant to be a liner as in some cases (i.e. for pictures inside the umbrella), the Balios is doing it to provide an opening for wind to pass thru while the overlapping layers make sure rain doesn’t get thru in normal use. The umbrella oozes build quality, and it remains to be seen if that translates into durability. The wood handle is well formed and stays in your hand despite the complete absence of any elastomer (“rubber”). The sculpted inside of the grip is fairly effective. The wood finish has a reasonable grip, too, and makes for a comfort grip in colder weather. The fabric of the canopies is claimed to be a tightly woven 300T and that seems to be about the tightest you’ll find anywhere. It also means that the fabric is fairly thin and once again it remains to be seen how it holds up. The handle doesn’t have a loop, but the sleeve does. I normally use the loop only for hanging the umbrella and this constellation is fine. However, at least in the past I typically didn’t keep the sleeve for that it didn’t seem useful. The Balios may change that. Btw., the metal finish at the handle is significantly darker than the pictures suggest. I think that’s a good thing, but it remains to be seen if this coating is as durable as I'd expect from a nickel plating (or especially stainless steel). ... show more
