Coolibar UPF 50+ 48 Inch Calotta Fashion Umbrella - Sun Protective (One Size- Silver/Green)

Doesnt help as much as Id like on 100-deg.+ days (needs a fan & A/C unit, probably), but then, Id like a pristine planet heading into an ice age, too. Still, when the sun is ferocious, this umbrella does help me to feel slightly cooler (by a couple of degrees, maybe? -- not *10*, as one reviewer claimed). Maybe one of the best features is just how cool it *appears* to other people. On a beastly hot day, others will covet what they imagine to be your oasis of coolness. Everyone wants to know where I got it.

I love this umbrella. Its sturdy and makes walking in the intense heat and sun much more bearable. I highly recommend it.

Ive had this umbrella for three years but have only used it a few times. Currently I am taking an antibiotic that causes sun sensitivity so I am using my Coolibar umbrella regularly for the past several days. The slide mechanism used to open and close it just snapped off. Now the only way to keep it closed is by holding it down while tightening the Velcro closure straps. For an otherwise nice umbrella, that essential piece is cheaply made and should be made of metal.

I bought this umbrella before heading to Mobile to participate in a State Tennis tournament. Mobile in June, is not known for cool temperatures during that time. So I bought this to keep cool and stay out of the sun. My teammates and I all took turns using the umbrella which worked great! It not only kept the sun out of our eyes, but it was definitely cooler with the reflective shade it provided. It also works well on rainy days!

My favorite umbrella, winter AND summer. I use it as a sun umbrella to protect my skin and that and sunscreen have helped me from getting aging skin.

It is a lifesaver. No need for a hat or shawl. Just take it everywhere. All you need for sunrotection.

I play 2-3 rounds per week under California sun and definitely need protection from it. This is very well made, keep me cool and most of all I like the size-not too bulky-and light-weight. Only problem so far is, the plastic tips got loose and I have to put them back in every time unfolding it. Its been used 2 weeks and I dont know how many more will loose. Maybe simple glue will take care of the issue. Ill call the seller to see if its o.k.

Handle is falling a part

This umbrella is amazing. I live in North County, San Diego, CA where the Sun raises literally burn your skin. I use this on my 2 mile walks, twice a day, at work and it does exactly what its supposed to. It blocks the raises so well, all I feel is the nice breeze. The color is definitely duck tape looking, but it makes sense for its reflecting qualities. It has also been very windy here lately and the umbrella does not budge. When looking inside to see how it holds, the design is very sturdy, Im very impressed

I REALLY wanted to be impressed and love this thing.
