sungrubbies UV Travel Sun Umbrella Lightweight UPF 50 Auto Open Close, Compact Silver Vent Wind Resistant Travel Friendly

I bought this a few years ago so that I could be protected from the sun while having to walk a lot and wait at bus stops a lot in the city. I love that it just pops open with a one-handed push and collapses with a second push. My only critique is that, once you push together the ends of the collapsed umbrella, it still does not fit in the carrying case. Otherwise, I love it so much that I got 2 more so I can have one each for my work locker, my car, and home. It protects well from the rain too, so this is an all-purpose umbrella that I never want to be without. By the way, THANK YOU for understanding that light colors reflect the sun and dark colors absorb. Ive seen so many products that I would love to get if only they had the light color on top and the dark color on the bottom.

This sun umbrella does a great job of keeping off the sun and help to keep you cooler, too, since the sun isnt beating down on your head and shoulders. The only negative I would make is in the design of the umbrella itself. When you try to close it down, unless youre really careful, the ribs of the umbrella tend to dig into your hand. I actually one of the ribs break the skin on the back of my hand one time while trying to close it. Getting it all the way closed into the locked position takes some care and effort.

I had purchased it in Sept. 2022. In March 2023, one of the supporting aluminum ribs snapped and broke off. It prevented the opening and closing of the umbrella. Upon contacting the Seller SunGrubbies, I got an immediate response via Amazon link asking me to send the Order Number and my shipping address. I immediately supplied the information, but all of a sudden, the Seller went on radio silence! I followed up twice more but got absolutely no response for a while, but did get back to me to take care care of the situation to my complete satisfaction. Mater of fact, the replacement item got damaged in shipping, so they send me replacement item for that again. Its a company that I am very glad to say that they stood behind their promise of lifetime warranty. I will be more than happy to buy their item again.

I’m from Oregon where we are no strangers to rain, however the down pouring at Disneyworld is FL is something else. The auto retraction of this umbrella made it easy for quick coverage when the rain came. Not too heavy to keep in your backpack, however it’s not compact if you’re looking for something small. The size is big enough for only one person, I had a hard time trying to fit my boyfriend under it with me. Provided good shade too walking around in the sun, especially for being a red head. It’s not very wind resistant tho, luckily only blew inside out once and easily went back to normal.

The wrist strap broke off almost instantly, but the umbrella itself works well. The open/close button on the handle works well. The sun protection absolutely makes a difference.

I tried researching to find a UV umbrella that was decently durable and came across this one with the best reviews. I purchased exclusively for afternoon soccer games and it has saved me from some pretty hot days! Im Irish and very pale so living in florida provides me with a subtly pink complexion all year round which of course is not desirable. Ive been needing a UV umbrella for a while and finally decided it was time since my son started soccer this year. Its not huge but not small and the perfect size for sitting on the sidelines next to and in front of several people. It doesnt hit anyone next to me and provides me with the shade I need to protect my skin. I will say that the last game there was a few wind gusts and everyone called me Mary Poppins because the umbrella blew inside out a couple times but did not break or malfunction and I was able to pop it back the correct way. I have not used it while raining so I cant attest to its ability there but I would only use this to block sun. Overall a great and necessary buy.

I weighed the umbrella and I got 14 1/2 ounces rather than 13 ounces. I got it for a Disney vacation, but I think Im going to take my regular umbrella instead since it is lighter in weight. Id rather get a little sun, then lug a heavier umbrella. It just seems so much heavier than what Im use to. I do appreciate the free returns, but Ill probably just keep it for walks in the Michigan summers.

I admit that I am new to sun umbrellas, and I am wondering what took me so long. This Sun Grubbies umbrella does a fantastic job of keeping you cooler in the hot sun. We used this in the Chinese desert Northwest. So, the sun was intense. This sun umbrella combines a reflective top and black interior to block UV and visible light. This makes it noticeably cooler under the umbrella. To make life easier, it is an auto open/close. You can then quickly open and close. It was also light enough to carry for longer periods of time. This is a fantastic sun umbrella, and great for travel.

Great golf umbrella.

Good for when walking outdoors, esp. in Florida. Not a time goes by that I am not stopped and asked where I bought it. Def. recommend.
