umenice UPF 50+ UV Protection Travel Umbrella Ultra Light Weight

This is a review based on initial out of the box observation, indoors, of the product I received and have not yet had the opportunity to test outside. Its a perfect size for one person (maybe two). Im 56 and weigh 120lbs. I didnt want anything too big because if at an outdoor social gathering, I dont want to run the risk of poking anyone standing nearby. The spines dont stick straight out but curve down slightly when the canopy is fully open. Mechanically it works as described (meaning the push button to full open position and to collapse the canopy) though it does take a little muscle to push it closed (to slide the stem back down into its base handle). The weight of the umbrella seems good too, not too heavy. Weight was a consideration when I bought it. I have shown it to friends who also like its size and the protection from the sun it offers. I love the color (Silver/Pink).

although it doesn’t flip the umbrella upside down when there’s wind. it’s a bit more flimsy than i’ll like.

It’s sturdy but a tad heavy for the price.

I have purchased so many parasols n they end up breaking n just don’t last. This one is pricey but have have it for sometime now n works great n best of all withstands crazy winds. Study for sure n most importantly protect my skin!

Works great for a lightweight beach umbrella for my baby. The color is nice underneath too, very calming. Only feedback - It is a little hard to slide back down to lock.

Excellent. Great at blocking the sun. I use every day, during my morning walks.

Ive used this Sunbrella once a week for a little over a year. Up until today it has worked perfectly. Today, as usual, I used it twice, but when I tried to close it the second time (its got a convenient close button), it would not close completely. The rod will not compress all the way in. While that might be an inconvenience, the umbrella will also not stay open, and neither the open nor the close functions work. Im really sad because this umbrella was perfect as I walked back and forth across my church campus protected from the sun. I examined the ribs and nothing looks bent or broken, so Im assuming there is something wrong with the rod. I will have to look through my files to see if there is a warranty.

I bought this for the summer vocation to protect my newborn daughter. I felt the difference immediately. Also help protect my daughter from harmful Sunday’s while keeping us a little cooler while I was wearing her. It also came in handy when I decided to rain on us. It kept us dry! Love the dark underneath and shiny to to help reflect the sun heat. Must have for anyone who is sensitive to the sun.

This umbrella does the job so well! When it is super hot at the beach and I sit under this umbrella, I freeze! It is cold under it! The wind blows hot outside the umbrella and super cool - under. Amazing!

Love the umbrella (parasol, actually) so much that we lost it. Unfortunately, it’s out of stock for the next few months, so we had to buy a replacement yesterday which looks less promising.
