umenice UPF 50+ UV Protection Travel Umbrella Ultra Light Weight

Update - As of May 2020, this little umbrella is still working great. I did purchase a white one from another brand which was a bit larger, but the mechanism did not work as smoothly as this one, so am going for the white in this brand for a summerier look. Also, I find I prefer the smaller footprint of this one, it fits better in bags, purses, etc. FYI - original purchase was March 2018. Excellent sun protection and a hardy umbrella. I wear a hat. A face shield, or use this umbrella every day. Ive opened and shut it at least a 100 times so far, shoved it in my briefcase, tossed it in the back seat when in a hurry, and caught it on a rose bush I was picking up and it is still working fine. Ive only used it once for rain, but it worked just fine.

I purchased 2 for a soccer tournament we traveled to where there would be no shade. Compact, works well and feels sturdy. It provides good protection from the sun and rain. So far, so good. Easy to fold into a suitcase or tote bag. I use it regularly at the pickle ball courts It fits perfectly into my equipment bag!

I love it, went out to walk at 90 degrees, used umbrella at beginning and throughout walk and walk was tolerable.

Too heavy for traveling

The stem part wobbles like its loose. Hope it doesnt break. The protection is perfect as a matter of a fact better then I expected. Just feels too wobbly.

This umbrella blocks the heat of direct sunlight very well. I bought it for an outdoor music festival, and it is large enough to cover you, but small enough to be unobtrusive.

This works for sun protection. But if a strong gusto of wind blows you are in trouble.

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

This umbrella does everything as described. My only wish is for it be large / wide enough to cover all of my arms.

Both sun and rain protection… The umbrella is sturdy, definitely cooler in the sun, a nice size when collapsed, auto-open is handy, and the underneath color is a fun touch! Would buy again!
