Coolibar UPF 50+ 42 Inch Sodalis Travel Umbrella - Sun Protective

The umbrella functions but is a bit bulky. It almost looks home made to tell you the truth. BUT it does keep you cooler watching the baseball, soccar games and running meets, so I do not mind it’s look that much. Some might like the look. Quite industrial looking.

Has protected me from extremely sunny days without sunscreen! Just having a hard time keeping it up, as it tends to pop down

Well made and blocks the sun

This umbrella works very, very well. My skin is extremely sensitive to sun, especially on my face. I keep my Coolibar UPF 50+ umbrella in the trunk of my car so that it is always handy when I need to walk in direct sunlight, which is often. One small warning: the umbrella, when folded up, is a bit more bulky (but not heavier) than a regular rain umbrella. For me, that is now a small price to pay for the excellent protection that it provides. When I fold it up, I just toss it into a string bag or a small tote. I highly recommend this product.

Purchased two for a hiking trip. Sun protection is good, definitely cooler under the umbrella as well. However, of the ribs broke immediately and they turned inside out in the slightest breeze Plus the umbrella is bulky compared to the other auto open/close UV umbrellas that I got from Korea and were half the price. Dissappointing quality for the price.

Have had this umbrella for at least five years. It didnt feel sturdy, but it has lasted and is in good shape. I can tell the that it has better sun coverage when I have to use another type of umbrella. Its kind of heavy but folds small. Its such a good umbrella that I thought its only fair that I update my review.

My wife uses this all the time, as we live in a tropical country with blazing sun. My wife calls it her portable shade tree. I feel a definite and immediately noticeable difference between being under its shade and without it. I recommend the silver one hands down! She could have bought the black one but doesnt like the color. Also, she is used to the silver one and knows that she likes it.

Excellent! Like being under a big shady tree. You absolutely are protected from the sun. My mom takes meds and cant have direct sunlight. .this umbrella is perfect. Auto open & close... UPDATE: 3years later my umbrella still is amazing. Holds up to regular use and is still in excellent condition! Well made excellent product!!!

I love this umbrella. Works great in the rain and creates shade when Im at outdoor events. Im the kind of person who gets unfortunately burned despite a hat and sunblock so this is a must for me while living in sunny southern CA. Others have mentioned concerns about the weight and sturdiness of this umbrella. For me, this lives in my purse and only comes out during periods where Ill be in the sun for extended periods or when it rains. In the 2 months Ive had it it has stood up well so far, though Ive probably only used it on 10 occasions.
