Pros

  • Very lightweight

Cons

  • Somewhat difficult to open and close
  • Poor resistance to heavy rain

The ShedRain Rainessentials umbrella promises not to weigh your purse down. This lightweight fully manual mini umbrella has a small handle, but a decent-sized canopy to keep you covered. In our test, it repelled a light shower, but showed poor resistance to a heavy downpour. Our consumer testers found it somewhat difficult to open and close. This ShedRain comes in three colors.
