Good umbrella - don’t know if it’s worth $100+

Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2020

This is a good umbrella. It feels very sturdy. The big thing here is the cost of the umbrella. Is it so much better than the next one because of the price tag. I will say that I love the handle. It has a heavy feel to it and looks really top notch. I also like the waterproof fabric of the umbrella. Water beads up into tight little balls allowing the water to dry up quicker. The opening and closing mechanism works well but it doesn’t blow your hair back. I would’ve expected a much better mechanism for the money. Other than that the umbrella is fine. I did get a compliment on the subway from someone who saw it and recognized “the quality.”

Absolutely first class

Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2023

I feel somewhat presumptuous in writing this review because I have yet to do a rain-test with it, however after receiving the item, noticing the classy box it comes inside of, and handling it, and then opening it, it really comes across as a fully faithful artifact representation of its description from both the website and their description in amazon, it is quite pricey I understand that fully, but really davek is putting out an excellent product for those who equate the expenditure of monies with value in purchase, davek is not ripping off their customers or even gouging them in any way. So I recommend this umbrella very highly, it will last many years.

Awesome quality, but a couple of design flaws with the handle

Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2020

Earlier this year, I vowed to never find myself wrestling with a crappy umbrella ever again, so I donated or threw out all of my crappy ones and began my search for quality options. Of course, I quickly found my way to Davek, and over the past several months, I have purchased 12 of these in different sizes and styles to tuck away in my family's dozen go-to umbrella spots (cars, work bags, backpacks, coat rack, etc.). For reference, I bought one of the Elite cane umbrellas, a couple of Duets, a couple of Solos, three Travelers, and four Minis.

What I love about them: Each part of these umbrellas is indisputably high quality - fabric, open/close mechanisms, shaft, handle, strap, all of it. Apart from the Minis, which are manual, the umbrellas spring open with a strong, satisfying snap, and they are sturdy and solid. My son and I enjoy taking rain walks, and a couple of weekends ago we got caught in a stormy gale - driving winds, pouring rain, crashing thunder. The umbrellas were amazing! In a storm like that, it's less about staying dry than it is about keeping the rain and wind out of your face, so our legs were drenched from horizontal rain but the umbrellas did great, particularly with regard to holding up to the wind. Couldn't be happier with their quality and performance.

What I don't love about them: There are three things I've found that are not great, two of which have to do with the handle. On the Duet, Solo, and Traveler, the handle is beautiful, but it is round and small, similar to the size/shape of an egg. This might seem like an ergonomic design that fits nicely into the palm, but for an umbrella, you really need a longer handle that provides some leverage to allow you to push against wind...like the handle of a knife or a fishing rod, for instance. Imagine trying to chop vegetables or cast a line with a knife or rod that has an egg-shaped handle. It just doesn't work well. What happens is that your thumb and forefinger end up not holding the handle at all, but rather clinging tightly to the shaft, and it causes fatigue in the hand muscles during longer walks.

Now imagine that the egg-shaped handle has a hard-plastic tab sticking out the bottom of it, requiring you to spin it so that the tab is perfectly positioned in the small gap between the end of your pinky and bottom of your palm to avoid it digging into your palm - and there you have issue number two with the handle. This little tab holds the leather strap, and it is a source of annoyance and frustration.

(I should mention that I am a woman - albeit a 5'9 woman with hands on the longer side - but I thought it worth noting that this perspective regarding the handle isn't coming from a person with XL hands.)

The last issue has to do with the difficulty we've had in collapsing the shaft on our Traveler umbrellas. None of the other sizes have this issue, but with all of Traveler umbrellas, it is REALLY hard to push the umbrella shaft fully closed/collapsed. It’s like the spring is too tight (?) or something. It take a lot of effort - usually resulting in me putting the end of the umbrella on the ground and using my body weight to push it closed. I actually bought one of the traveler sizes specifically for my younger (10yo) son, but it is too hard for him to manage. He has no trouble with the Solo or Duet. Just the Traveler. Not a deal killer for us, but I thought it worth mentioning as this might be a real issue for some.

So….all in all, I LOVE our umbrellas. The Elite is amazing and perfect - 5 stars. The Solo, Duet, and Travelers get 4 stars due to the handle issues. The Minis I would give 5 stars; they are a LOT more streamlined and lack some of the more technical stuff (opening mechanism, etc.), but for what they are designed to do/be, they are awesome.

This was a long read for those of you who are still with me here, but I hope the insights are helpful.

100 bucks and with holes in 3 months of seldom use!

Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2011

i bought this umbrella with the belief that due to its price it would be a great product. i got disappointed. first thing i noticed is that it comes in a nice custom box, so far so good. first good impression. then i open the box and i find this nice little umbrella. it has a nice design. good. then i see the first ugly thing. its got a leather strap. omg i say, what did i buy? (im vegan) so im horrified now. i didnt really expect a piece of skin dangling from an umbrella. well, i will cut it from the umbrella and go to the taylor, maybe he can put some fabric as a strap. dunno if its fair trade or environmentally friendly. now, the features. its got a button in the handle to open it. problem is you have to push the umbrella after pushing the button. i dont know if it supposed to work like that but i would expect pushing the button and umbrella opening without further help. plus you push the umbrella from an unconfortable piece of metal inside that feels like it might bruise you or make a cut on your skin. the handle, although it looks nice -like the handle of a laser saber- is not that confortable either. the size of the umbrella is small, but seller did put the measurements up in the description, so i guess its my bad for not measuring if it would be a good size for me. and finally, i seldom used it for 3 months and it has holes on it already. apparently the nylon rips on top of the junctures of the holders joints due to frictioin after opening and closing. i mean i spent a hundred bucks in an umbrella and after 3 months of seldom use it already is trash. wow. for a hundred bucks they should have taken care of issues like that. i mean i can buy a 15 bucks umbrella that i can return also after a few months of use. i just dont like the hassle of finding one day that the umbrella is no good when i want to use it and its raining. so i dont recommend you buy this product.

This item was one of two in the same delivery . The Solo had not got the same tags on as the other and in fact had no tags at all and was packaged differently and was clearly used in some way before being despatched.
As for the standard - they aren’t as well made as I had hoped .
