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

I guess someone liked my first one of these so much that they stole it. So I bought another. It is just what I want. It folds up pretty small and opens easily. I live in a place where skin cancer is a real danger so I use this a lot. I recommend it!

My husband uses this umbrella while riding on a scooter. While at outdoor art shows or car shows, he often had to find some source of shade to get relief from the sun. He definitely feels cooler and enjoys the portable shade. He gave the umbrella 4 stars because the handle is small and round. He would prefer a larger handle/differently shaped handle that would be easier to grip since he uses for several hours sometimes.

This is probably my worst Amazon purchase of all time and here’s why: the handle is not even 18 inches long. This means you need to hold your arm up high to keep it off your head and so you can see in front of you. There’s no resting it on your shoulder or anywhere. You have little to no leverage which makes it very hard on your wrist. Yes, the fabric does block the light but due to its very small size, it needs to be repositioned constantly. It has a very long Velcro strap that flops around in your face. When opening and closing, it’s like firing a gun. Super loud POP- And last but not least, when folded up it is very bulky and in no way lightweight. This product is not good for travel, the elderly, children, or anyone that will be in the sun for any length of time. I do not like this product and find the poor design to be a big waste of money

I purchased this about 11 months ago and havent used it that much as this is Southern California. Today it broke. I contacted the company and they will replace it as it has been less than one year. It is a good size, great for sun protection, and I like the automatic spring which opens the umbrella. It does take two hands to close it however.

This umbrella is very well made. It was well worth the price. I push a button to open & close it. When it was 95 degrees here, walking on sidewalk was miserable & I decided to try this. I wasnt sure about carrying an umbrella in the sun. But its this silver gray reflective color & high quality, so if anyone looks at me, they actually want one. Prior to this purchase, Id bought a cheaper one & could literally not close the thing. I highly recommend & I purchased this product, wasnt a gift.

Omg my husband and I opened this and I t stinks to high Heaven! How bizarre they would use a fabric that has this stench. Can’t imagine sitting next to anyone holding it and smelling like dead fish. Sent back.

Great umbrella for the price. Feels like it Cuts down at least 20° right away when you go under it. I cannot live without it on these hot days! I love how it is light weight too. It automatically opens and closes. So much easier than the next size up. Which I use to but not every day. Thank you!

I just returned from a trip to which I was exposed to 87 degree to 105 degree temperatures and sun. The UV umbrella provided a much needed respite from the intense sun and heat. It is sturdy and indeed it is opaque and also has a dark lining to absorb reflected sunrays. It takes a little muscle to close. It is definitely heavier than a traditional rain umbrella, but I expected that from the specs. The sun blocking fabric is thicker than the nylon used in a typical rain umbrella. It definitely kept me cooler and made the heat bearable. Good purchase.

The Cooling Sun Blocking Umbrella is working perfect for me. I use the little velcro strap to keep the wind from messing with my umbrella and the other thing that works (to keep wind from inverting the umbrella) is to always have the top of the umbrella facing whichever way the wind is blowing, hope this makes sense.

I like everything about this product. My dermatologist warned me to stay out of the sun since I have had many spots removed. Since I teach in Texas and take the students outside daily, I decided to upgrade from my regular umbrella and get something better. I call it my SUNBRELLA. Positives: blocks out TONS of light, one button to open and close, folds up small, big when opened, keeps you cooler, quality fabric. Negatives: the wind flips it inside out. I recommend this particular sunbrella to anyone who needs protection from the sun or wants to stay cooler from heat.
