> 3 dayI received this umbrella in April but delayed writing a review until Ive actually used it. Its been really hot lately but its cool under this umbrella unlike the ones without UPF. Unfortunately 2 ribs have broken off & poked a hole in the material. I contacted Coolibar & they will send me a replacement. Its on back order until 8/15/13 but Ill wait - its worth waiting for.

> 3 dayI replaced my umbrella because I left mine for my mother to use in Costa Rica. I ordered this one so that it would be waiting for me when I returned.

> 3 dayGreat little umbrella for keeping the sun off. Not a light little thing. Strong sturdy feel and well made. Not as light as I thought it would be. But, it works great.

> 3 dayI have owned this sturdy umbrella for about a half a year now and have used it several times a day every day, rain and shine. I am extremely sun sensitive and it is a necessity for me. Even on UV 10 and 11 days I never burned or got sun itch. I have to complement the mechanism because for all times I have put it up and down it has always worked great. ( And easily.) If this one ever wears out I will definitely get another. I would recommend it to anyone as a great investment.

> 3 dayI’ve used this umbrella for a total of 60 days of travel in Europe and the Middle East. It has just started to show wear. It is very wind tolerant and offers tremendous protection from the sun’s u.v. rays, but a MAJOR side advantage when in the sun for any length of time, is it is considerably cooler under it! Makes walking around outdoor tourist sites imminently more enjoyable!

Greater than one weekI live in Texas and use this umbrella every single day. It really keeps the sun off and provides shade while talking my daily walk. I walk about two miles every day and just had too much sun on my head and face. This is instant shade. I love it.

10-06-2025This product has an unusually short handle, which makes it very awkward and uncomfortable to hold. You need to hold your arm in an 90° angle which begins to cramp after a while. Its also very difficult to close.

Shade-and cloudburst coverage-to go! Like all our sun umbrellas, this 42 Inch Sodalis Travel Umbrella keeps you noticeably cooler on hot, sunny days. It features a high-tech coating that maximizes your sun protection and easily sheds water.
