Great umbrella. Purchased for my child to keep in their
backpack. Already been put to good use. Perfect size. Good quality. Not flimsy.

Big difference and Premium Quality. We have always purchased the cheap compact umbrellas in the past. They’re ok at best and tear up quickly. Lifetek umbrellas are premium quality and workmanship. You will notice immediately that these are high umbrellas. Purchased one and was so impressed I ordered another one.
