NEW YORKER FX1

love it

It is a quality umbrella. haven't used it a whole bunch yet. but I am ready for the rain, pairing with my water resistant boots.

Well made!

I really like this umbrella a lot. Here is the link to the exact item I am reviewing here ~�LifeTek New Yorker 54 Inch Automatic Open Extra Large Full Size Golf Umbrella with Windproof Frame 210T Microfiber Fabric with Teflon Rain Repellant Technology (Red)This umbrella would easily protect two people from the rain it is so large. This umbrella appears to be extremely well made and is very nice looking too. This umbrella is made with a heavy duty fiberglass shaft so I don't have to worry about getting struck by lightening as I would with a metal shaft umbrella.The canopy of this umbrella is made from 210T micro-weave fabric that is coated with Teflon water repellent technology that repels water and dries fast so that is wonderful. The 210T signifies 210 threads per inch, which creates a denser fabric and should provide superior protection from both rain and sun. Overall this is a very solid umbrella made with care and quality manufacturing. I'd recommend it to any friends who want a large and high end umbrella.This is truly a fantastic umbrella. It is very large and I love that fact. It has a very smooth automatic spring assisted opening and closing mechanism and the red is a beautiful color. Also I love the fact that the cover that comes with it is actually usable and I can actually easily place the umbrella cover that came with it over the umbrella after I close it easily. That is very unusual as I have NEVER owned an umbrella that I could put the included cover back on it and use it over and over again as I can with this one.I am extremely pleased with this umbrella purchase. I review products that I have a direct interest in and actually use in my life. This product was provided to us at a discounted price in exchange for my unbiased and honest review. This was a great purchase!

Spring loaded makes the umbrella!

Sturdy, comfortable to hold for open or closed, sufficiently waterproof (very large drops will penetrate it very slightly, no problem in short durations but noticeable over time), and pretty lightweight for how strong it is. The "thunk" sound it makes when it opens is extremely satisfying. A solid purchase - just don't lose it!

Finally a sturdy umbrella that won’t flip inside out with a small wind gust. This is made very well.

Nice umbrella, fits two very comfortably while walking, more while standing. It was very windy the day I used it and didn't have any strucural problems, just somewhat hard to hang onto in real wind. Buy a nice umbrella and you'll always thank yourself you did when it rains.

Pricey, but excellent product!!!!

Umbrella looks like it is well made, although I have not used it yet.I am not happy that I get an email every other day asking me to review the umbrella. I knocked one star off for that.

Great product !!!! Loving the Teflon material.

Great umbrella and great service!

Really great umbrella. Looks nice. Substantial but not heavy to hold up.

Great umbrella!

Perfect sized umbrella.Not too big or small. Quality build and materials. Stood up to a week of storms here in the south.

Nice umbrella. Good value.

Umbrella is very easy to open and close at the push of a button.

This is a very sturdy umbrella I got it just in time for the summer downpours and it does a great job it's classy looking too

great umbrella. I use it for soccer games, to hide from the sun. quality is nice and handle is very durable.

Great product!

Loved this umbrella. Quality manufacture !

Enjoyed the ease of which it opened and closed__

This is a GREAT umbrella. By far the best one I've ever owned. A few things that make this umbrella superior: 1. The Teflon material repels the water and doesn't absorb it. Because of this, the umbrella dries very quickly. 2. The reinforced frame is so strong. The frame doesn't bend in strong wind and hasn't hesitated in the least to withstand turning inside out -- you know how you're using an umbrella and you're trying to keep the umbrella positioned toward the wind so it doesn't flip out -- this umbrella doesn't even feel like it's going to flip in the least. 3. Protective sleeve - I have never liked these long umbrellas, I always opt for the more compact ones. This one comes with a great sleeve that allows you to hang it up and keep it slim. Overall, this is a great umbrella! I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest review. All opinions and experiences gained from reviewing this product are my own. I personally rely on reviews when buying products and hope you find my review helpful.

This is a very well made product. I'm happy to have it when I need it.

Great umbrella.

This is a very well made, quality umbrella. However, it loses points for being too small. I have a collapsible umbrella that's larger than this. There's no reason they couldn't have made this a respectably sized golf umbrella. At the moment, their only properly sized umbrellas are vented - which many people don't like because they leak.LifeTek needs to offer a full sized non-vented umbrella as well.

This is a high-quality umbrella. I've never owned such a nice umbrella, frankly. After destroying and losing a landfill's worth of $4 Ikea golf umbrella, it was time for an upgrade.Here is a list of the things I like:It's plenty big to share.The button opens the canopy smoothly and with authority.It has enough length and sturdiness it to be a viable cane if you need one.It doesn't have prominent logos or branding (just one little embroidered 'Lifetek' tab on the cover)The handgrip is ergonomically shaped and comfortable to hold.I haven't tried it in a high wind, but I have a feeling it can handle it.... and best of all: YOU CAN SHAKE IT TRY IN A FEW SECONDSNow, there are some tradeoffs for some of these features:This is not going to fit in your purse.It's on the heavy side.If you're walking down a crowded street alone using this giant thing, you're going to be in an umbrella war. (The good news is that you will win this war due to your superior umbrella.)It's way too nice to leave in the umbrella rack next to the door of the deli.I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with the slip-on cover when I'm using the umbrella.I think this umbrella would make a good gift.I received this umbrella at a discount in exchange for my honest review. It's a good product, and I recommend it. If this review was helpful to you, please let me know by clicking below.

Great quality

Excellent coverage in heavy rain, sturdy, opens & closes with minimal effort

Great size

Nice weight to it, handle fits nicely in my hand

Darn! Rain every day this week--and I was soaked to the skin the other day--and now I have my new umbrella and it's dry. Humid, but dry. It is black and classy looking with a soft-grip handle and is 36 1/4 to 36 1/2 inches long, closed. The difference is because the end of the handle is angled. The tip, bubble-wrapped, almost 2 inches long with the slip case on and and 2.75 inches with it off, is covered with the same perforated plastic (I guess nowadays nothing is made of rubber!). Then there is a .75 inch metal ring holding everything together. The umbrella is in a fairly heavy plastic slip case to protect the nylon case inside. The nylon case is a slip case, not one of those that needs something to hold it onto the umbrella. Inside, And the bottom has a tab to make it easy to pull off. The velcro band around the umbrella is almost 1.25 inches wide. The jewel-like opening button is also protected by plastic. The only flaw I've seen is that there is some glue that ran onto the bottom of the handle, from, I guess, when the handle was glued on to the whatever goes inside the handle. The fancy button provides a quick opening, but closing needs to be done manually. The label indicates that it is coated with Teflon and there is a 2 year Peace of Mind Replacement Guarantee provided it is registered within 30 days. I'll be back in a minute. Since it's not raining for a change :), I'm going to go outside and test this with my hose. The water beaded up quickly and quickly ran off. It also provides nice shade against the 90 plus temps here. I taped the hose's shower function on the umbrella, but may or may not attach it, since this was my first time to video anything on this phone. And it was impressive. I have no hesitation in giving this 5 stars. It was my absolute pleasure to get this at a discount in exchange for an honest, unbiased review. And I hope you appreciate the blood (mosquitoes) and sweat that went into this review. I hope it rains soon, now that I am prepared :) I've tried to add photo several times, with no luck, so hopefully these will work. If there are duplicates, please excuse me.

Who doesn't need an umbrella in Southwest Florida?! This is like a mandatory thing to have in your car at all times. I have never had a Teflon Umbrella before I didn't know how awesome they were. First I have to tell you that I wasn't expecting this thing to be so big, I knew from the description it was 54 inches, I guess I was expecting something that started off small and got bigger; but I was pleasantly surprised when I received this that it was huge like a golf umbrella. It has a fancy little cover case that it comes in too.I used this for the first time yesterday, of course it was raining, and my kids and I were heading into church from the parking lot; this umbrella was large enough for myself and two kids to huddle underneath. As we were walking in I thought to myself 'oh no, this is going to get water all over the place'... wrong! That is when I was like 'Wow, it's the Teflon!' Seriously, the rain water just dripped off and didn't make it all soggy and wet. I just shook the access off and no water puddles. It was like stain resistant/wet guard on a bridal dress. The rain just slipped off.Sorry that there is no picture of me standing in the rain taking a selfie with this awesome umbrella. But Trust me, it is wonderful umbrella.(I did receive this at a discount for an honest review)

Huge umbrella, huge and awesome.It feels very sturdy without being super heavy, easily covers 2 people and holds up very well in strong winds. It is well designed, good attention to detail and has a ton of small nice features.Whenever I use this umbrella it feels like it should have a cane sword in it or something like that, maybe that is just me, but it feels good in the hand.I will update this in a few months to let you guys know how the shoes hold up to weekly use (I live in Honolulu, where it rains daily and can be pretty windy, and I go through umbrellas regularly we will see how this one does).

Handle is very comfortable and works well. Used in big rain storm and did not fold.

The Umbrella works great; it is extra-large so unless the rain is coming sideways you will stay dry. The fabric feels great and the water beads up nicely on it. It feels very sturdy and the wind does pull it a bit but it does not bend or break so far. This is going in my car as our primary umbrella because of its size and will cover the kids as the run around my ankles. Rest assured this is a quality piece.I do want to and have to state that I received this product at a discount. However, this review is original and written/typed by myself. I was not influenced by any party, nor was I given any script or specific direction to follow. The review is based entirely on the performance of the product, and how it works for myself.

highest quality umbrella that I've ever owned.

good fits 2 people.

nice, mature umbrella

Yowza! This umbrella is amazing! Super duper coverage area. This thing might keep my car from getting wet. It is completely sturdy. The handle is hard rubber and solid feeling, not wobbly like some umbrellas. The canvas umbrella has a really durable feel. It comes with a sleeve that is easy to slide the umbrella into (I hate it when the umbrella gets caught in the sleeve and you have to fight to put it away). It's pretty tall. I don't know what I was expecting for such a large umbrella. It's big but not cumbersome.My daughter go to college in the Bay area where it is rainy and wet a lot throughout the fall and winter. It's nice that this umbrella will provide enough coverage to keep her and her backpack (hence laptop) dry when trekking from her car to her class and all around campus. Her campus also has lots of trees with lots of pine needles, now she will be safe from flying tree parts too. This umbrella can definitely fend off the elements be it rain, hail or tree parts! Whoop whoop.

My son loves it

I was looking for an umbrella , and I found this one. Very good material. It will keep my from the rain fro years.

I got what I paid for, cheaper ones broke after one season. This one is still going strong.

This is an excellant umbrella, and for the quality , you can't beat the price!!!

Purchased as a birthday present for a friend. He's a large man, and the regular umbrellas were were like child sized to him. The LifeTek New Yorker is perfect in size and quality!! It was a great buy!

Never had a good umbrella. I would buy the simplest and cheapest umbrella. Since I now drop of my kids for school, I wanted to get something better. This umbrella is badass. The materials and build rock.

Strong and durable!

Sturdy, water repellent and BIG enough for two people - love it!

Really awesome umbrella, very durable and lightweight. The grip on the handle is great too!

Very solid feel - love the handle. Big enough to cover long strides without the back of your feet getting wet. Definitely worth the money.

It's an umbrella.It's decent sized.It keeps the rain off me.It's reasonably well built.

Havent used this in the rain yet, but I love it! The color is as shown, not 'red.' The handle is super comfortable, the coverage area is BIG.It feels like a quality product.

Premium umbrella and a great company. My original umbrella failed due to a manufacturing defect. LifeTek sent a hassle-free replacement with only one email from me describing the situation. I was very impressed.

Very nice, Great for two

I have been using this now during several high-wind days with heavy rains. The products has performed well. I think I forgot to mention that the handle isn't as tall as other umbrellas. When fully extended it remains fairly close to you. This feature is what most likely helps it keep from getting wind caught up under it. Its close enough over you it keeps rain out. I've been in some horrible gusts yesterday and today but through it all this umbrella has survived. I am actually quite impressed. Its become my front seat passenger. Its siting with me at work right now too. I plan on using it if its still raining when I leave. This appears to be well made. It hasn't been too windy to test it out to the fullest but from the look and feel it appears sturdy.I love that its a one button operation to open and close. Never seen one function for closing too. My daughter chose the yellow color. It's a nice shade: bright and cheery.I received this umbrella at a promotional price to test out and review. Will update if it breaks or withstands the high winds and heavy rain here.

Heavy duty...The handle has an excellent feel in the hand..The substantial ribs are noticeable and give the umbrella a solid feelInteresting.... the velcro strap that on most umbrellas is 1/2 inch, is about an inch wide on this umbrella.... again..more substantial...I expect to have this umbrella for years to come

I held off writing a review hoping I would be able to report on how it operated in a good rain storm. That hasn't happened. What I can say though is that this umbrella is big and solid. When I had it out in a mild to moderate rain it held up well. It responded to the light wind the way most umbrellas would but with less distortion and bounced back to its original shape more easily. It sheds water much better than most umbrellas and, for its size, gives you better protection than average. In the end, I think this is well worth the money.

I love this umbrella because of the stylish look and the durability and also when resistant always wanted a New Yorker

Excellent all around umbrella. lookEXcellent all around umbrella. Looking forward to using it.

Umbrella arrived yesterday. Its an awesome size but the button that opens it is flimsy. It is not the same quality as the,umbrella itself

We're able to use the umbrella for my wife, infant and myself.

Perfect umbrella. It covers me and everything I carry with me, like my backpack and duffel bag. It is lightweight and it works. I previously had a 'Totes Men's Blue Line Golf-Size Vented Canopy Compact Umbrella' and one of the supports holding the canopy in place snapped which made having the umbrella impractical. So far this umbrella has worked and nothing has broken, only time will tell how well this umbrella will hold out.

Compact and easy to use.

Nice umbrella, but after using it only a few times it now fails to stay closed at all which is a big inconvenience.

like it

Finally a sturdy umbrella that won�t flip inside out with a small wind gust. This is made very well.

Great umbrella!

Great. Well constructed using quality materials. The only complaint I have is the cheesey button for the auto release. It isn't going to last and it looks like it belongs on a toy not a $50 umbrella.

Great umbrella with a premium feel. I used it the other day for the first time and it is defiantly the best umbrella I've ever had. The handle also is very comfortable.

Really great umbrella. Very, very sturdy, holds up against the wind quite well and is a nice size. In the past I've bought far cheaper umbrellas with lousy results. I'm happy that the slightly higher purchase price was worth it.

I am a daily commuter. I am 5'7'. I needed a large, though not too large, umbrella for me and my bag/laptop on stormy/windy days that looked professional and sleek and did the job. I read reviews, purchased this LifeTek New Yorker, and never looked back. It is really well made, with sturdy umbrella material, it features a great looking and comfortable handle, it has a strong feel, a robust stick top, and a really neat push button that opens the umbrella in a controlled way - not too quickly, not too slow. I suppose it is a bit masculine looking, but in no way over the board.I had it for a year and it never had issues under any rain or wind; Never did it reverse, protected me and my bags, and one would never tell I had used it other than a little wear at the stick top as it is used to rest the umbrella on the ground. I left it somewhere on a trip and bought a second one immediately. Other commuters at work have commented on its looks and have asked where to buy one.Big thumbs up

Packaging was excellent, however the shipping was late. It may be due to ups but I'm not totally sure. I used this umbrella today , and I have to say if it is raining hard , u would want this umbrella with you. It is slightly big, but for me this is totally fine. It very durable , the feel of it seems sturdy and won't break. The push button opens the umbrella with ease. It would be a great feature if the umbrella closed as well with the button . Great buy and happy with my purchase.

I would definitely buy this again it is a very large is sturdy umbrella

Great!

Used it for the first time a couple of days ago and its perfect!

Nice umbrella, fits two very comfortably while walking, more while standing. It was very windy the day I used it and didn't have any strucural problems, just somewhat hard to hang onto in real wind. Buy a nice umbrella and you'll always thank yourself you did when it rains.

My son loved it!

Everything I was hoping it would be.

I have no complaints with this umbrella. Seems to be well made and the couple times I've used it I noticed how well it sheds water and how quickly it dries. Recommended.

very durable, water resistant, great quality, somewhat big to carry around when not in use, a little heavy, but worth it for the durability and qualityWorth the money; best umbrella I have ever used

Tremendous umbrella, I feel sorry seeing people walk by with flimsy, lower quality umbrellas while I'm using this one.

I received it right before it started raining. It worked great.

Sturdy, comfortable to hold for open or closed, sufficiently waterproof (very large drops will penetrate it very slightly, no problem in short durations but noticeable over time), and pretty lightweight for how strong it is. The 'thunk' sound it makes when it opens is extremely satisfying. A solid purchase - just don't lose it!

Exactly what I expected

We love our new umbrella. One thing I really like is that my 8 year old daughter can open and close this one with ease. It is also a nice size for multiple people to be under. I did receive this at a reduced cost of my opinion, but will buy another one of these when I need another one.

Quality, beautiful, outstanding product...Thank you

Super sturdy, especially in a driving wind storm. Would recommend highly!

well designed and easy to use with gloves on, smooth opening and overall sturdy... a good choice if you need a very large umbrella... do not recommend for shorter people to use on crowded sidewalks

Perfectly fine umbrella, But - not big enough to cover both you and your girlfriend. If you really want LARGE, this really isnt very big.

Very well constructed & today I got to use it for rain. Proved to be sturdy and great size so I can shelter groceries or clamp to my daughter's wheel chair and we all stay dry. Would buy again.

Feels like a $50 umbrella. Great quality and mechanics

Great quality!

Pricy.

Great

Wonderful protection for two. Just walkin in the rain'''

WELL MADE AND SUPER EASY TO USE. JUST PRESS THE BUTTON AND WHAM- YOU READY TO CONQUER THE RAIN.

Received this a week ago and have used it a few times already. Love it.

Very nice product, attractive and strong. Had a problem with the latch, wrote customer service on a Sunday morning, they wrote back within the hour and resolved my issue.

Love this umbrella. Has a lil weight to it but that ensures it stays intact against high winds that would normally shred a cheaper umbrella. Love Lifetek!
