Arcon Lovely Umbrella Lovely umbrella, which is a little bigger than most but will fit easily into a shopping bag in case you are caught out in the rain.

Mark E London Good brolly Lovely handle shape, best ever. The hood seems plasticy and flimsy, I hope it holds up like my last compact M&S brolly (20 yrs). I like the automatic rise and fall.

AuntieB85 Umbrella Nice brolly, the rubber handle isn’t slippy in the wet and is comfortable to hold. Could have been priced a little lower though!

Kat_faith Fit for purpose! Good, sturdy umbrella with helpful up/down mechanism. I’m yet to see if it’s wind proof, so time will tell.

Marksman50 Good value and handy brolly. Good value. Opens and shuts easily. Used in the wind. Blew out but folded back with no problem. But just as easy to lose as all the others I’ve lost!!

Miss Twydall As good as one it replaced bought to replace simmilar old one which lasted years. So far its fine.

Abdullah AlNaeb Something very useful Very nice, convenient as well as easy to carry and use.

Hi Ball Glasses Umbrella Great umbrella last one lasted 5 yrs until accidental break

Silverman Wow ! Very impressive I have just road-tested this on a very wet and windy day, and it passed with flying colours. It keeps you dry and doesn't collapse in a strong gust of wind. More expensive than I usually pay but worth the extra for a reliable umbrella. Very easy to use.

Mrs C Steddon Review not Possible It is impossible to comment on a product without receipt. As this was intended as a present for someone, I would not be in a position to form an opinion on it. Should have been delivered by 19 December. M&S have now confirmed replacement is being organised.
