Greater than one weekThe umbrella is of excellent quality and gives good sun protection. On hot sunny days it feels a few degrees cooler under the umbrella. It provides good sun protection. The only reason I returned the umbrella was to buy the smaller size. I had hand surgery a few months ago and found the umbrella a bit heavy to carry. I love the smaller size because its more practical for me and provides enough coverage.

> 3 dayGreat product, easy to use, well made and with wonderful sun protection. Holds up well during windy days which are plentiful in the desert SW. Also since we have had much hotter than normal summer weather in the hotter than hell Valley of the Sun, without this umbrella I would be totally melting and unable to go outside at all. A must buy if you are unlocking enough to live in the desert SW especially between June through Aug. There is also a very high risk of skin cancer here because of the constant sun and it is medically necessary to protect your skin. This is better MUCH better than hats. Everyone should buy one.

> 3 dayI like this umbrella a lot. The size, features and sun protection are excellent. But within a few months, the internal closure mechanism failed, and the umbrella can no longer be closed. The supplier doesnt list any contact info for warranty replacement, so the 1-year warranty is worthless. Summary: nice umbrella for short-term use, but it doesnt hold up to real-world usage. Update: I did finally locate the contact info for this company and returned the broken umbrella. The return shipping only cost half as much as buying a new umbrella. Warranty service was excellent! I received a brand-new replacement umbrella within a few days. I am bumping up my rating from 2 to 4 stars for the superb warranty service.

> 3 dayI got this for my husband to use during autocross, which entails standing on asphalt for hours at a time with no shade. We live in Florida so the heat can be pretty extreme. This umbrella has been great! He says it makes a huge difference and really helps take the edge off the heat. Plus it protects from sunburns on the arms, face, head, and neck. The vents in the fabric keep the heat from getting trapped underneath, which was a problem with other umbrellas he has used in the past.

> 3 dayYou can take it everywhere with you in the car or for Travel. And the compact one is the perfect size for the purse, and you Wont get Hot. I recommend yo have both, Travel and compact. The only con with the compact is that is too hard for me To close it. I need a lot of effort for that. And the con of this Travel one, is the size because is not so compact to fit in the hand bag. If you have both , you can choose in every ocation. Both are helpfull and you stay cold under it.

> 3 daythis is a quality, sturdy umbrella. Have used it in sun and rain..tennis and cross country viewing with children. A tiny bit bulky but bought another light weight one which fell apart. Think this one is pure quality. Thank you. Worth the cost for sure.

> 3 dayDid a heat test on a 95° day. From underneath the UV Blocker temp was 105° the standard black Umbrella was 142° these temperatures were read after Umbrellas sat in sun for 15 minutes. Dropped 1 star because mechanism in handles need to be built out of something other than plastic. 2 Umbrellas broke after only a couple of months of use.

> 3 dayI’m a PE teacher and I can’t stand in the sun all day. Once the kids know what to do I can walk around with this, so I’m not frying all day outside with no shade. It totally block sun and is a great size but it is heavier than I thought. Still worth it though.

> 3 dayThe handle is too short and it hits my head all the time. The shade capacity of the umbrella is okay but not as good as some of my regular umbrellas. I love the cool factor and I am looking for a larger umbrella. When you have one tall enough it can even cover your legs, not just you head. It is so much cooler under it then in the sun.
