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

I got this for my husband to use during autocross, which entails standing on asphalt for hours at a time with no shade. We live in Florida so the heat can be pretty extreme. This umbrella has been great! He says it makes a huge difference and really helps take the edge off the heat. Plus it protects from sunburns on the arms, face, head, and neck. The vents in the fabric keep the heat from getting trapped underneath, which was a problem with other umbrellas he has used in the past.

Currently I live in a place where we have sunny days all year round; hence, I carry this umbrella with me everywhere I go. I love it! It does its job, it keeps me protected from sun rays, and it looks great (I like pretty things). I like how it holds in the hand, but perhaps the weight could be a little less.

My last umbrella lasted my over 5 years. The reason I replaced it was the handle was starting to feel sticky and the silver color on the umbrella had faded. I decided to buy a new one. My new one lasted about 8 months and the button some how got stuck in a slanted position. I emailed the company and they instructed me on how to get a replacement. Since the umbrella was under a year old there was no problem getting a new one. This is the best umbrella I have ever owned. The only thing I would do different is get a bigger size.

Very well package, seemingly well constructed product. Has embroidered logo on both the case & the umbrella itself. The addition of a shoulder strap to the case is nice because it’s definitely got some weight to it for a “travel” umbrella. It weighs more than twice as much as my standard travel umbrellas, and is bulkier both length and width wise. I did not find it any harder to open and close than any other umbrellas I’ve had, both functions were smooth. As far as shade and sun protection - I tried it out in the Phoenix sun on a 110 degree day in July and it does help, but I would say that making it 15 degrees cooler underneath is an exaggeration. It did seem more effective at absorbing/reflecting the baking heat than my standard umbrella that I was using for comparison, but for the $50 price tag - I should hope so, not as much difference as I’d expected though. I hope it holds up well over time to justify the price tag, because there were more affordable options, but seemed like they may be less durable from reviews.

I was skeptical that the umbrella shielded the bearer from the sun such that it is cooler by 15 degrees under the umbrella. While I didn’t check with a thermometer, this certainly felt true. The umbrella blocks the sun very well and the only drawback is that it is so sturdily built it is almost too heavy and large to be a travel umbrella. I am planning on buying more.

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 is a well-made umbrella that is lightweight and easy to open and close. Here in Hawaii, where the UV index regularly passes 10, the sun is strong and hot. This umbrella not only is blocking UV, it also keeps me much cooler when walking around on a sunny day. Very satisfied with this purchase!

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.

My fair skinned mother adores the sunbrella. She uses it for daily walks in her neighborhood/park and at her 2 grandsons soccer games. She has used it in the sun, rain and it has held up to some hefty winds. The uv coating has started to wear thin at the folds. She asked for a new one She loves it so much. It held up for 6 years of very frequent, but gentle use. Highly recommend. It really does keep you 10 degrees cooler. Originally She got a few funny looks or funny comments, but most people were curious and wanted to know if it works. She should get a commission. :)

Worked great to keep us cooler during outside, Key Largo, wedding in early August.
