The weather in summer is inherently volatile, especially this summer, it will rain from time to time. So I don’t care too much about the weather forecast, just bring an umbrella with you. There is no high requirement for an umbrella, it is easy to carry and the umbrella surface is large enough. Because I am a Mi fan again, I will check if there is a suitable umbrella at Mijia grocery store.
I found NINETYGO Oversized folding umbrella at a good price, so I bought one.
This portable umbrella can be used in both rain and sunny days. Tookfun will experience the specific use effect.
Appearance Gallery
White packaging, Xiaomi’s consistent style. Simple, clean and highly recognizable.
On the side of the box, the characteristics of the umbrella are highlighted. 115cm large umbrella surface, high water resistance, UV protection, dual use in sunny/rainy days.
Take out the umbrella. The umbrella is also wrapped with a layer of plastic packaging to prevent the goods from being scratched during transportation.
Remove the plastic bag. An umbrella cover is included for easy storage. The umbrella is placed in the umbrella cover.
Remove the umbrella cover to see the umbrella body.
The entire umbrella is 30 cm long after being folded. The length is moderate and easy to carry.
The straps of the umbrella are fixed with buttons. It feels better than Velcro. However, although the buttons are made of metal, the texture looks a little thin.
The umbrella handle is a bit short, probably to improve portability. But it does not affect the grip.
The runner is made of PC, which is strong and wear-resistant. The umbrella I bought is not fully automatic and needs to be opened manually. But unlike traditional umbrellas, there is no button in the runner. Push directly upwards to open the umbrella. When stowed, the umbrella can be folded by pulling down directly. It is easy to open and close.
Push the runner to open the umbrella. This is a triple folding umbrella, and the pushing process is smooth, without unnecessary friction. The buckle will automatically jam when it reaches the top.
After opening this umbrella, I saw this bottom spring. I really like this design. This is also different from traditional umbrellas. It is not a big protrusion and will not hurt your hands easily.
After the entire umbrella is opened. The narrowest part is 105cm, and the rib is 115cm. There is no problem for two people.
Since it is a Mijia product, there will always be some selling points. The selling point of this umbrella should be the rib. The shaft of the umbrella is made of aluminum alloy, which is light and strong. Can be three-stage telescopic.
With the umbrella cover, the weight of the entire umbrella is about 300 grams. This weight is relatively light in this size umbrella.
The other eight ribs are made of stainless steel, which has high strength and is not easy to deform. The ferrule is made of nylon + glass fiber, which is tough and resistant to folding.
And the end of the rib adopts a hidden design. In this way, it is not easy prick others and reduce certain safety risks.
The canopy is made of Fonewr grade four water repellent material, 210T high density, and has the sun protection ability of UPF40+. I cannot directly show the effect of these values. I can only observe from the appearance. The canopy looks very thin, almost translucent.
Feeling of using
When I got this umbrella, it happened to be rainy, so I went out to experience it. The logo of NINETYGO is really everywhere. From this perspective, the fabric of canopy is really thin.
Personally, this hidden tip is a bit ugly. But safety is still the first consideration.
Although the canopy is light and thin, its waterproofness is good. Of course, this is also the most basic function of an umbrella.
Gently shake the umbrella, the water drops on the canopy can easily be shaken off. However, some small droplets will remain. But the overall effect is still good.
It is officially advertised that this umbrella can withstand level 6 wind. The wind on the day I went out was not strong, so I couldn’t test the wind resistance. I personally feel that if it is really windy weather of 7 or 8, most people would not choose to travel with an umbrella. So this can satisfy daily use.
Weight, 30cm length. When going out, ordinary backpacks or handbags can be loaded.
Conclusion
Let me talk about the advantages first.
Lightweight and easy to carry. It is easy to open and close. The size of the canopy is also suitable, enough for 1 to 2 people. The water droplets on the canopy are easy to shake off.
Talk about the disadvantages.
The links of the rib are somewhat soft in design, and the canopy will shake with people’s actions when it is opened. Does not affect the use but affects the overall image. Umbrella fabric is a bit soft, and it is a bit troublesome to put it in the storage bag.
In general, this is a folding umbrella that can meet daily use. Lightweight and portable, canopy is big enough. Buying a handful to deal with the changing weather is not a bad idea. After all, there is sun protection function, one umbrella is multi-purpose.
