sungrubbies UV Travel Sun Umbrella Lightweight UPF 50 Auto Open Close, Compact Silver Vent Wind Resistant Travel Friendly

So far so good

One of the best investments I made. I love that it is compact and can fit in your purse and even in the glove compartment. I definitely recommend this. The UV protection is true to its name. When I use it, especially in Arizona where the sun can really hurt your skin, I dont feel how bad the sun is and it protects my skin.

I have long used umbrellas for sun protection. This is the best one I have found so far. There are three main points. First, the top is silver in color and highly reflective. This is good because it does not transmit a lot of heat downward in the hot sun. Some umbrellas are black on top, and that makes no sense if heat is an issue. Second, the underside is black, and that is good. UV radiation reflects from all around just like normal visible light; it does not only come from above. The bright sand on the beach is sending lots of UV in your direction. So the underside should not reflect that UV radiation back down toward you. A blue color is the worst, since blue is very close to UV in the radiation spectrum, and a bright blue underside means that the reflective UV is hitting you. Black is the best since it reflects very little of anything. The third point is that the umbrella works well as a push button collapsible. One push and the umbrella is up and covering you, and another push and it is collapsed. Some other umbrellas do this as well, but this feature in a UV umbrella is nice. It collapses small so I can carry it in my motorcycle bag.

We just got back from Disney World for a week, and I am so glad I bought this umbrella. It gets brutally hot in Florida, and the rain is no joke! This baby kept me cooler in the HOT sun and was a champ in the torrential downpour. This was my best purchase for this family vacation. The one mistake I made is I only bought one. I should have gotten one for each of us.

Great at reflecting the heat and is portable and sturdy.

UV protection-Great Size-Great Turns inside out-ALWAYS. Unable to use in mildest breeze. Totally unacceptable. Otherwise, looking for replacement that can be used in real life….

This unbrella is incredibly difficult to open and close. I do not recommend it.

Protección solar

Overall an okay umbrella, it did its job but only after 1 1/2 year it broke.

Me gusto que es un tamaño que cabe dentro de la cartera.
