UV-Blocker Travel Sun Protection UV Umbrella Auto Open Double Vented Canopy Windproof Sun Umbrella UV Protection 55+ UPF

Thought I was going to love this sun umbrella. Appeared to be sturdy. Was a bit smaller than I expected but would have been OK. The handle was so short though, to keep it off the top of my head I had to hold my hand up to the top of my chest. I wanted to use it at the ball park when we have to sit on the bleachers with no shade. I can’t hold my hand up like that for hours at a time so I sent it back. My regular folding umbrella has a handle long enough that I can rest my hands in my lap and hold it. I need a sun umbrella like that. Returned it but considering the larger one to see if the handle is longer on it.

Kept me from burning in the sun.

Thank you for your response to my email concerning the defective UV-Blocker Travel umbrella I had received. I really appreciated it. The replacement arrived and operates perfectly. I look forward to relying on it for the strong sun protection I need. I just was able to recommend the umbrella to a couple at an Oakland As ballgame! Over the 6 years that I used my first UV-Blocker I was asked about it many times and always commented how much I liked it

this UV-Blocker Umbrella arrived right on time for summer - i had a skin cancer taken off the top of my head a number of years ago; my hair is quite thin; and i know i am supposed to avoid the sun . . . so what is a body to do when its time to walk the dog? I am so glad i ordered this space-age looking (silver) parasol to protect me from those harmful rays. It is my summer security blanket, and i am grateful to have it. It does not pay to take chances with your skin, especially when you can walk cooler - yes! it feels cooler walking beneath it - and you know you are protected from the sun. Great product - glad i stumbled upon it at Amazon!

Excellent quality product. Rather heavy to carry for any length of time. I took it for a two week trip to Spain and only used it a couple of times. I did like the fact that this one folds up to a reasonable size for travel. I havent tried it in the rain yet but it does the sun blocking nicely.

Used it for a trip to Egypt. It was great!

This is an amazing product. I ordered it for vacation - we went to Orlando and hit all the theme parks. It was super hot. I used my UV umbrella at every park and it really helps to cut out the heat & sun. I have a very light complexion & I burn easily. I didnt burn at all using this umbrella. Some of the park rangers at Animal Kingdom remarked that this is the right kind of umbrella for hot climates & I was the first person they had every seen with one. I highly recommend this jewel. I am still using it now as I live in South Texas. I am still amazed at how well it works.

I love the weight and feel of this. Weight indicates quality to me. And it comes with a carrying case with a strap that can be worn like a backpack. It is comfortable to hold and I felt absolutely protected vs. not having it. I tend to undo the velcro starts and hold the frame from the inside, keeping it ready to open at a moments notice. A word of caution: Most people walking wont have umbrellas, and this is a pretty wide one. Be careful not to poke anyone. In terms of people staring because you have an umbrella on a sunny day? Are we in grade school? So what?! Check out my pic of the indoors use. It protects me from a glaring sun while working at home too.

I really love this UV blocker and, in a way, it’s difficult to describe what it does in simplistic terms on paper. In bright high-UV sunlight, the UV blocker blocks out the radiant heat/UV rays. With an inexpensive sun shade, while it blocks out some of the bright light, you can still feel the radiant heat on your skin as UV rays can still penetrate the material. Conversely, the UV blocker is akin to standing under a shady overhang while the intense sun’s UV rays beats down from above. You no longer feel that radiant heat on your skin while under the UV blocker and, while the UV blocker is a bit heavier than a $10.00 sun shade, it does do what it was designed for.

Great product, easy to use, well made and with wonderful sun protection. Holds up well during windy days which are plentiful in the desert SW. Also since we have had much hotter than normal summer weather in the hotter than hell Valley of the Sun, without this umbrella I would be totally melting and unable to go outside at all. A must buy if you are unlocking enough to live in the desert SW especially between June through Aug. There is also a very high risk of skin cancer here because of the constant sun and it is medically necessary to protect your skin. This is better MUCH better than hats. Everyone should buy one.
