[REVIEW] $150 Umbrella: The Davek Solo

[@user-uy9pd6dr5y]

After 5 years. Time to make a review on the durability 😊

[@James-lw3gi]

The creator replied to a comment 10 months ago saying it’s held up well. He still uses the same umbrella. He did mention he’d had to replace the leather strap.

[@CoryStreater]

Thanks for taking the time to do this review. I'm in Seattle shopping for an umbrella, and tired of crappy ones I have to throw away every year because they rust, break, or don't repel water very well. I think I'll give this one a shot!

[@thatchick8796]

Did u and how did it go?

[@aleeshaleemoswi5574]

A

[@aleeshaleemoswi5574]

Aaaaaaaa

[@MuiKaHo]

are you buying dollar umbrellas or something? i buy cheap walmart umbrella for like 10 bucks and it never rusted before...

[@Joomington]

Thumbs up just for the counting of the denier.

[@albeit1]

High quality things can last 5 times longer than the crappy ones. And deliver much better quality while you have them. Of course, if you are prone to losing your umbrellas, you may be better off with a cheaper one.

[@juanr7209]

Crappy Walmart from Walmart cost about 10$ 15x10=150 and if you’re willing to spend 160$ you’ll get 8 20$ umbrellas which can last you a good while.

[@albeit1]

@@juanr7209 exactly. Some things even get handed down to the next generation. And some break 3 days after you buy them. Considering only the purchase price is foolish. Which is also why classic designs hold their value more than the latest fads.

Good to know, thanks.

[@Astragoth2]

thank you for the review! Greetings from the Netherlands.

[@takuan650]

My Davek was total crap! It got bent in moderate winds and when I tried to reshape one of the ribs very carefully it snapped like twig. I'll stay away from their expensive garbage!

[@MuiKaHo]

if it got bent.. why didnt you just send it for warranty? it literally has life time warranty

[@lexville12]

How is the umbrella after 5 yearrs of making this video? Did it even last 2 years in the Singapore weather? thanks

[@Area73x]

Hi there! I’m still using the same umbrella. I’ve just used it yesterday. I had to replace the leather hand strap though, that didn’t survive Singapore’s weather.

[@UJ-nt5oo]

Follow up review?

[@wellfleetion]

Mine bent after my second time using it in 20 MPH wind. Returned it and ordered a Senz Deluxe. .

[@mascotgamerdk]

How was the Senz deluxe?

[@wellfleetion]

@@mascotgamerdk Like night and day in terms of the durability, which is why you get one of these to begin with. It's obvious to me they are unable to build the auto-opening ones like the manuals. I got the manual over the automatic.

[@jasonmulder5753]

An umbrella and all umbrella is water resistant.

[@nabeelahmad9266]

Why didn't you review it real life scenario like outside in the rain and wind?

[@Area73x]

Hi there. It doesn't always rain here in Singapore and I wanted to get the video out. But I have been using the umbrella till now and it is still in very good condition. I even joked around with my friends and calling it a "raining experience" because of its price premium. After more than 1 year, I just think it's a good umbrella and worthy of the investment. (I bought the umbrella with my money and not affiliated with Davek.)

[@hemzadeboucha5948]

super merci

[@jason84nz]

Thats one umbrella that you don't want to accidentally leave on the bus at $149.00

[@kookiiee]

You're better off buying Blunt umbrellas now

[@sowwanjing]

I love you!

[@nemracfiftyto6206]

How is it in the wind. ?

[@LauJunWen]

So far no issue with winds in Singapore. It has been raining a lot in the past few weeks here and I have no problems with it.

[@takuan650]

Mine got bent easily and then broke when I tried to carefully reshape it. It's expensive garbage!

[@woofinu]

Use that money to buy another plane or drone. A lot more fun :-)

[@TheLillianYoung]

Area73 - Thanks for your response. I deleted my post because I found it after running all over NYC (literally) looking frantically for it. It was last tracked at my workplace, which I assumed was my office. But it was down the hall from my office. Ugh. Anyway, I'll be extra careful now, and have reached out to Davek about the sensitivity of the loss alerts. For example, as I am writing this, I got a "out of range" alert and it's right by me.

[@LauJunWen]

That's great news! I'd expect a company like Davek who takes pride in their work to improve on their products!

[@prajnabala]

I will just lose it

[@s-clan5266]

May I suggest a garbage bag with head an arm holes cut out instead?

[@Orlanzepol123]

$150 is too much .

[@aleeshaleemoswi5574]

Aa

[@westhib]

I simply cannot hear/understand you.

[@Area73x]

Thanks, there's subtitles.

[@corpsetime]

You don't mention the fucking wind durability goddammit.

[@IamTheeEgg]

i cant understand a word this guy is saying.. hes talking gibberish..bla bla bla bla ...his voice is annoying...all i hear is $150 over and over again.,...i dont think so..ill continue to use my yard sale umbrella..

[@Area73x]

Noted on your input. I will enunciate better next time. Thank you for watching.
