Pros

  • Very lightweight
  • Very easy to open and close
  • Very good water resistance

Cons

  • Fairly easy to invert
  • Fabric fairly weakly attached to spokes

The ShedRain Flatwear Hula is a very lightweight mini manual umbrella that's very easy to open and close. It proved plenty water resistant in GHRI tests, and provided good coverage, but was fairly easy to invert and it required relatively little force to pull the fabric from the spokes. Like the other models with a flat handle, it is somewhat uncomfortable to hold.
