I finally got to use my new umbrella the other day and it was exactly what I wanted. Something compact, light and easy to open/close. The button on the handle shoots it open and retracts it back. The rain wasn't pouring and the wind was relatively light, so once I use it in heavier rain and stronger winds I will update my review.

The wind was blowing relatively strong the other day -- but no rain -- so I used this as a shield while walking from my office to the car and it held up great! I'm sure I looked ridiculous holding it open and horizontally in front of me lol but it did what I wanted.
