This umbrella can be used for rain protection or to protect against the sun’s UV rays. I plan to use mine a lot during football and soccer season when I might have rainy weather to contend with or need to protect myself from the hot sun.

Such a large umbrella in a compact size. Could easily fit in a bag or backpack. Colorful outside with heat reflecting underside. Fabric seems sturdy. Opening and closing is a bit jerky and it takes a bit to hook the plastic catch. Nice carry bag is included.

Really beautiful umbrella, I get lots of compliments on it! Please note that it is not wind proof though. It isnt the sturdiest umbrella but it is super compact and works great for PNW weather.

very beautiful umbrella. i absolutely love. comes in a small to size pouch or sleeve. not overly wide in size overall diameter and the center rod, that is also the handle of the umbrella, is not comfortable in length. far too short for my liking, when i hold it. but it is definitely perfect for my ten year old daughter. so thank you. i absolutely love this umbrella almost as much as my daughter did.

I needed an umbrella I can leave in the car for those spur of the moment downpours. This is perfect, love the color/design and its super cute. Definite conversation starter!

This is a very compact umbrella (10 inches folded up) and is a perfect shelter from the rain or the sun. Made from nylon, its a little flimsy and won’t hold up to a gale wind. It collapses into a small enough package to keep under a seat in a car or cubby hole in the car for emergencies. The canopy is 40 inches when open.

Its not the most sturdy umbrella nor does it have a huge canopy. It isnt very automatic either. However, thats the sacrifice for something cheap & compact. With that in mind, this is a good little backup or travel/portable umbrella. Its not fancy, but it works for the basic purpose of an umbrella. I dont really care for the sunflower look, but I dont care too much about aesthetics. Thats low on the priority list for an umbrella. Most importantly, this works as an umbrella.

I love how the umbrella opens to look like a large sunflower. Also I was able to fully open it, and then close it and get it back into the storage sheath that it comes with. Sometimes you can never get the umbrella back in the bag, but this one works. The mechanism opens smoothly and locks into place, and then releases to fold the umbrella. Even my 10 year old could work it without help. It folds up and takes up very little space when not in use. I think it will also be fun as a parasol in the summer.

Crummy! Broke the third time we used it and none of the day were windy. Plus, now there are no options to return it. Blech!

Super beautiful umbrella!! Unfortunately when i was unboxing it i slit straight through the outer sheath holder. Luckily i didnt puncture the umbrella itself! the umbrella isnt automatic. i got spoiled with a push button opener, so I was confused with how to open this one at first. ROFL - you just push it open. The sunflower is GORGEOUS!!
