Greater than one weekThis is a quality material and opens a closes well. It has a funky plastic fish smell. Hopefully as I let it air out it will go away.

> 3 dayI’ve used this umbrella for a total of 60 days of travel in Europe and the Middle East. It has just started to show wear. It is very wind tolerant and offers tremendous protection from the sun’s u.v. rays, but a MAJOR side advantage when in the sun for any length of time, is it is considerably cooler under it! Makes walking around outdoor tourist sites imminently more enjoyable!

06-06-2025I am serious about my sun protection and use a lot of clothing with built-in SPF because I realize that sunscreen often makes me have a rash or just doesn’t work. I bought this to use while in the Bahamas. It is a nice looking umbrella but there are some design flaws that I think could be improved. One, once you open it, it does not fit back in its cover. Two, it needs a longer handle with a different way of holding it rather than just the knob. A curved handle would be more comfortable to use for longer stretches.. The entire handle is just a bit too short. Three, it does flip very easily with not much of a breeze. However, I still like to use it because it does keep me out of the sun. I do recommend it if you are like me and want every option for staying out of the sun but I would like to see some improvements to that design.

> 3 dayYou can really feel the difference under the umbrella during the sunny days. Unlike other umbrellas that can magnify the heat under the cover, with this one you can really feel that there is less heat and the UV protection is great. BUT this is NOT A WIND RESISTANT umbrella. Just a little gust of wind will flip this upside down. However, I bought this for the sun protection it offers so I am happy and bought another one when it went on sale.

> 3 dayI used it for 2 hot Houston summers already and just love it. It creates wonderful cool shade and protects against harmful rays. Thanks to it I still can walk after 10 am which I could not do before because of hot sun. I do not use it for a short walk though. For example, to a store, because it is rather large and rather heavy but for longer walks it is indispensable.

> 3 dayI live in Texas and use this umbrella every single day. It really keeps the sun off and provides shade while talking my daily walk. I walk about two miles every day and just had too much sun on my head and face. This is instant shade. I love it.

> 3 dayThis umbrella is a nice size and folds up to a compact size. Perfect for me since I get migraine headaches from bright sunlight and heat.

Greater than one weekI replaced my umbrella because I left mine for my mother to use in Costa Rica. I ordered this one so that it would be waiting for me when I returned.

> 3 dayAmazing quality umbrella, however not as Travel friendly as I’d hoped for. ESPECIALLY if you have limited space. It’s also VERY bulky & Heavy. Originally got this item to carry in my side bag when out and about, sad to say this will not be happening. I will only be using it for actual bad weather.. but still great quality!
