UV-Blocker Compact Sun Protection UV Umbrella Auto Open Auto Close Double Vented Canopy Windproof Sun Umbrella UV Protection 55+ UPF

I live in Dubai and walking my dog in the morning can be unbearable for the both of us during the summer. However, compared to the standard umbrella that I was using prior to this, I feel the difference. I no longer feel the heat penetrating through the top of the umbrella as I did before. And it feels somewhat cooler. Also good piece of mind that it protects against UVA & UVB rays... something standard umbrellas would not offer. Of course this is a lot more expensive but if you have the above concerns like I do, then you will be happy with this purchase. Well worth it!

I had one too many heat strokes and heat exhaustion episodes when I worked the southern border, and again after I was transferred to Florida. My time in the sun has now been decreased to about ten minutes before I end up in the hospital. This umbrella allows me to get in and out of a grocery store, mall or other building without getting sick or risking my life. My friends have been coming around to borrow it when they are heading for an outside event or an outing with their kids or grandkids at a neighborhood park or an amusement park with visiting friends or relatives. It really does lower the temperature about ten degrees, makes your time outside much more comfortable, and, in my case, much safer. I now keep this compact umbrella in my purse and a larger one in my car. I do recommend this product to friends and family and would definitely purchase it again!

Bought this for a trip to Peru. The sun is fierce there at high altitudes and gets so hot. Tour guides are notorious for giving long talks in the sun about points of interest and history, etc. This kept me well shaded and cooler. Fellow travelers kept asking to stand under it with me and as it is big enough for two I let them. I bought the compact size. Small enough to fit in my medium size Ameribag, but thicker in diameter than say a Totes type of umbrella. Still easy to hold in one hand. Use two hands to close after pushing the button to collapse it, one at each end then push together every time. I only took time to pull the “pleats” into place is when I was ready to stow it, only takes a minute and is easy to do. A gust of wind blew it inside out, but a quick push into the wind pushed it right back, no problem. It kept me cool and shaded, my head of thin hair did not sweat nor did I have messed up hair from taking my hat off, nor that ugly line that hats make in my hair because of this umbrella. My boyfriend was against me buying this cause he said it’d be strange looking, but it was great, perfect, and received a lot of positive attention every where I went, and he was under with me in the end more than anyone else!

Definitely keeps you much cooler. Used a Disney World a made temperatures tolerable.

I have very fair skin and live in Hawaii so I normally not only wear sunscreen every day but also carry around a compact umbrella - useful for both sun and rain. I finally decided to splurge though and get myself something with real UV protection and Ive been very happy with this product. The double layer and UV coating make the umbrella slightly heavier and bulkier than your average compact but the shade you get out of it is well worth the extra effort. It is several degrees cooler in its shade, not to mention that Im in no danger of getting sunburned. The vents also do a pretty good job allowing you to hold the umbrella steady even when its a little gusty although there are limits, of course.

I have two sizes of this umbrella compact and golf, I LOVE them. You could feel how much it shields the sun from your body, you dont feel the burning heat on your skin. You could also see how dark of a shadow the umbrella makes compared to others.

I cant stand that.

Saved my skin while in Hawaii! It was recently my first time there so I had no idea the sun was so piercing - I felt like one minute without sunscreen would cause me to start burning. Luckily I carried this umbrella wherever I go so I didnt always have to slather on sunscreen. It comes with a little case which I promptly discarded (because lets be honest, who is going to take the time and squeeze it back in?). It also has a bit of a weird smell at first but it goes away in a few days.

The product details said it is 9.5 ounces, but the product is actually 15 ounces. Besides, it said it will bring the temperature down by 15 degrees, but it actually cant. I think it is only a few degrees.

This UV-Blocker Umbrella really helps bring down the temperature and blocks exposure to the sun. I used to use a dark denim umbrella for sun protection, but this silver material is superior. I noticed that I was still getting sun damage, even though dark denim does not allow much sunlight through the fabric. This silver material is even better. No sun can penetrate at all. I highly recommend!
