The Auto Open Inverted Umbrella is designed to not only protect you from the rain, but also from a rain-soaked umbrella. With a 48" arc, double-layer canopy and all-fiberglass construction, the umbrella closes in reversible fashion, keeping the wet side of the umbrella contained and away from you. This intelligent design also makes it easier to open and close from inside doorways and cars, so you stay dry from start to finish. It is also self-standing when closed, for additional convenience and storage options.
