A smaller design often comes at the expense of a canopy that’s too thin or isn’t water resistant, or terrible against wind. The EEZ-Y Windproof Travel Umbrella is none of those things. It’s built to be strong against wind and rain, while staying strong with a unique blend of materials and small enough to travel with. It’s one of the best umbrellas to grace our list.
Why We Like It – EEZ-Y Windproof Travel Umbrella
Built to protect against wind and rain, you can make use of this strong umbrella anywhere thanks to its compact design, double canopy and water resistance. If you need an umbrella that provides greater visibility that can be used in any weather, definitely take a look at our Bodyguard umbrella inverted windproof reflective review.
- Windproof double canopy construction
- Unique, sturdy frame system
- Has an automatic open and close button
- Have to fight the auto open button sometimes
- Lacks UV protection
Performance
The EEZ-Y Windproof Umbrella uses a vented double canopy to prevent high winds from sending your umbrella flying or collapsing inward. Strong winds aren’t blocked by the small umbrella but rather redirected between the two canopies. Its frame system helped strengthen it through 9 reinforced fiberglass ribs and high quality stainless steel. It isn’t just wind resistant, but water resistant as well, with a 210T super water repellent fabric for ultimate rain protection. However, it does not have UV protection, but the Sharpty Inverted Umbrella does!
Design
As compact umbrellas go, the EEZ-Y Windproof Travel Umbrella is fairly small. It’s small enough to fit in your bag, making it a great rain mate or as a compact travel umbrella. It comes with an ergonomic handle that’s slip-resistant, which is connected to a metal shaft. That metal shaft then reaches to its reinforced fiberglass ribs. It’s easy to open and close, just with a simple press of the button. Every so often you’ll have to fight the button, but otherwise works as intended. For a much larger umbrella, we recommend the G4Free Ultimate Golf Umbrella.
Value
For an umbrella w/ great water and wind resistance, we couldn’t believe its $20 price tag, plus lifetime guarantee. It performed well above the rest of the umbrellas on our list with ease. As far as we’re concerned, the EEZ-Y Windproof Travel Umbrella is one of the best travel umbrellas around. For that, we’re marking it with excellent value. If its performance isn’t enough, then perhaps you would be satisfied with the Repel Windproof Umbrella.
EEZ-Y Windproof Travel Umbrella Wrap Up
The EEZ-Y Windproof Travel Umbrella doesn’t offer any substantial reasons to ignore it. Even its lack of UV protection is substituted with a dark-colored canopy that at least provides shade against the hottest of the sun’s rays. Its sturdy frame keeps it from breaking, as its double canopy works to ignore the wind. And when you don’t need it, use the automatic button.
