umenice UPF 50+ UV Protection Travel Umbrella Ultra Light Weight

Took this on a summer holiday for sun protection. It worked well for 2 days. On the third day it would not close. My husband had to forcibly close and it wouldn’t open again. Had to bring it all the way home just to return it.

This little umbrella creates a very cooling shade because of the reflective outer layer. I am using the pink/silver color.

I did not realize the print would be on the exterior of the umbrella. The print is dainty, pretty and feminine. I absutely love it!

although it doesn’t flip the umbrella upside down when there’s wind. it’s a bit more flimsy than i’ll like.

This is a review based on initial out of the box observation, indoors, of the product I received and have not yet had the opportunity to test outside. Its a perfect size for one person (maybe two). Im 56 and weigh 120lbs. I didnt want anything too big because if at an outdoor social gathering, I dont want to run the risk of poking anyone standing nearby. The spines dont stick straight out but curve down slightly when the canopy is fully open. Mechanically it works as described (meaning the push button to full open position and to collapse the canopy) though it does take a little muscle to push it closed (to slide the stem back down into its base handle). The weight of the umbrella seems good too, not too heavy. Weight was a consideration when I bought it. I have shown it to friends who also like its size and the protection from the sun it offers. I love the color (Silver/Pink).

I was looking for a compact UV umbrella to replace one I bought abroad and loved but subsequently lost. This one is perfect. It is small, light, and could fit in a large front shorts pocket sticking out a bit. It is made for one person. So if you’re looking for an umbrella that covers more than just yourself, move on. I’ve used it daily for my walks in the islands and it is sturdy and provides UV shade from the sun, which cuts the heat you would feel without it. So at minimum it provides a couple degrees cooler temps under it, if not more. It is not for use in windy weather. It will flip inside out. So don’t plan on using it in windy locations/circumstances. One positive, though, when it flips inside out from wind or otherwise, you just press the open/close button and it collapses itself back to its “ready to close” position. This possibly takes the pressure off from needing to force flip it right side up over and over again, which is good. It would keep the rain off your head but that’s about it. But again, I bought it to keep me cool during my daily walks in hot sunny conditions. I use it on cloudy days as well, to keep the UV rays off me. In all, it’s perfect to use on sunny days for walks to cut the heat. It would help in a sudden downpour or steady light drizzle to keep your head dry. If you’re looking for an umbrella for the same reasons as me, this is the one. I will update my review if the umbrella breaks or deteriorates significantly.

I like everything about this umbrella though it is a little hard for me to take down as my hands do not have much strength...but for the money it is extremely nice looking and there is just a hint of pink when up. It is very nicely made and is sturdy...great buy!

This works for sun protection. But if a strong gusto of wind blows you are in trouble.

I bought this for the summer vocation to protect my newborn daughter. I felt the difference immediately. Also help protect my daughter from harmful Sunday’s while keeping us a little cooler while I was wearing her. It also came in handy when I decided to rain on us. It kept us dry! Love the dark underneath and shiny to to help reflect the sun heat. Must have for anyone who is sensitive to the sun.
