The Perfect Umbrella from GRIP2 Umbrellas

** Complimentary Sample Received for Review **I do a lot of traveling and I spend a lot of times outdoors. With all of the things that I am fortunate to do, having a good umbrella to help block wind, rain and sun…is a must! Umbrellas in the past have been flimsy, hard-to-operate, heavy-to-hold and well, most just didn’t do the job!

Well today, I get to introduce you to the GRIP2 Umbrellas and let me tell you, it’s like no other umbrella out in the marketplace. These umbrellas are really large and give you great coverage from the sun, sleet, rain, snow and/or wind! You can comfortably hold them in one hand and operation is the easiest that I have ever seen on an umbrella!

* Two ergonomic grips
* 62″ arc length
* Fiberglass shaft & ribs
* Vented canopy
* 190T waterproof nylon
* Auto open
* Grip assist close
* Rubberized soft-feel grips

My Thoughts: When the umbrella arrived for my review I was immediately impressed with it’s size! I have never had a large umbrella like this and had always wanted one. You can easily fit 2 large adults underneath it which makes it perfect for hubby & I to use together.

Next, I suffer with carpal tunnel syndrome so I don’t have the dexterity in my wrist and hands like I used to. Thanks to the automatic opening and the grip assist close, I can easily open and shut this umbrella with a simple click! Love that feature!!!

It’s a semi-weighty umbrella and due to it’s large size, I thought it would be heavy to lug around and/or carry. However, I was pleasantly wrong about that! It is large and you will need to store it in your car’s trunk or in the backseat area, but it’s well worth having this umbrella handy for when you need it.

When you are holding it above your head in an open position, there is a really nice balance to it. I didn’t find it cumbersome to hold at all. In addition, we were outside using it on a 70 degree sunshine filled day and it did a great job at shading the sun. It was also very breezy that day (8 mph winds) and the umbrella didn’t flip inside out at all. Yay! That is a huge plus since we get a lot of storms here on the east coast that involve wind.

This is one quality, well-built umbrella and as soon as you remove it from the box you can tell that it’s different from all of the rest! It is available in solid black, navy, black & white and navy & white colors. What a fabulous product!
