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

I purchased the original Sun Mountain umbrella for golfing many years ago and it was a game changer when used it with my push cart. I still use it to this day. I enjoy hiking in Utah, but it can be brutal in the summer. With a sun umbrella it can feel 15 or more degrees cooler under the umbrella. I had high hopes for this umbrella as something I could use around town and keep in my pack. Never took it hiking as it broke after the third use.

Its definitely cooler under the umbrella, and looks chic!

I used it at the Renaissance Festival in Arizona. It was more effective in keeping me cool than a regular umbrella.

it works for sunlight and rain. i got caught in the rain and it was perfect. in the sun, i feel the temperature difference when i use it. its not too difficult to open or close. it doesnt hold well against the summer wind...

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 absolutely loved this umbrella. It exceeded my expectations. I purchased it for a trip to disneyworld. It worked great until I lost it. I hope whoever found it enjoys it as much as I did. Highly recommend!!!

Its perfect for being out in the sun on a warm day. The open/close button is easy to use.

Had this for about a month now. It is holding very well, though the strap broke, the rest is still in good condition. The mechanism works great, I really like that I can open and close it with one hand, especially when Im out walking the dog and only have one hand. It does a good job of giving protection from the sun. Sometimes it feels a little cooler under its shade, but that might just be the breeze and Id like to think that this expensive umbrella can give me more than just shade. It is a little thick at the handle and when folded. Thicker than most compact umbrellas and heavier too (maybe thats why the strap broke). But we cant have it all, can we?

Great quality

I have been using this umbrella daily for a few weeks and so far it has worked well for rain and sun. The only reason for the four star review is that in order to close it I have to push the open/close button to contract it and then place it on the ground and to push it to full closure. I tried repeatedly but was unable to close it by pulling by hand and cut my finger on a sharp edge when I tried to close it any other way that described above. Be careful of the sharp edges or have bandages ready.
