Can't open it half the time

As mentioned by a few other reviewers, it takes some serious effort to get it to open. If it suddenly starts pouring, I'd be soaked by the time I get it open. It's too small when opened and too big when closed. I was half soaked when it was raining not even that heavily, and it can't fit into any of my bags including backpacks. The color is quite off as well though that is a subjective matter. I'd rather get a even cheaper one from Walmart.
