UV-Blocker Sun Umbrella UV Protection Compact - Auto Open/Close - Double Vented Canopy - Windproof Sun Umbrella for Walking - 55+ UPF - 42"/44"/58"

I was one of the extras in The Chosen for the filming of the Feeding of the 5,000 (aka Feeding of the Fried Thousand 😜) I was on set (outside!) for two 10-12 hour days in late June = 🥵🥵🥵!!! Do you remember the level in Mario Bros where the sun ☀️ is trying to kill you? Yeah, we did the real life version those two days!We knew in advance that it would be 100 degrees with 50%+ humidity - and I don’t do well in the heat 😂 so I agonized about what items to bring to help me - especially a UV blocking umbrella. This one claims to make it several degrees cooler underneath - and it DOES! It was definitely my most important protection from the sun and heat. It was perfect for covering just me - if you want to share, you should get a larger size. It was very sturdy too - when the wind would gust, sooo many people’s umbrellas flipped outward and/or broke. The vents on this were perfect to let the wind through. Once I was accidentally holding sideways it so that it caught a direct blast of wind into the canopy which flipped it outward - but I immediately flipped it back and no damage had been done.The opening and closing mechanisms worked flawlessly for “Camera’s up! Umbrellas down!” too many times to count.In a perfect world, I wish it was a little more compact and lightweight when closed, but then I suppose it wouldn’t be as sturdy - which is more important in my opinion.Anyway! If you’re looking for an excellent UV umbrella that does what it says while also being small enough to travel with - congratulations! You found it!!!I also took an electric neck fan (the batteries lasted the entire day!), a wooden fan, a Frogg togg towel and a water mister. Most important was drinking plenty of water with electrolyte packets added.

I got this umbrella to go tubing with in Arizona when it was 112 degrees and it totally blocked out the sun & kept me cool all day. Very durable and easy to handle

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.

Purchased this for my mother. She loves this thing. A little nevervous to put it down being so expensive. She says it works as intended. I think it looks a little Astronutical..... if she loves it I'm happy too. It's light weight easy to hold. Easy to operate and open. High quality. You will be happy with this.

Perfect, it did exactly what it was suppose to kept me cool in the california heat, kept me from becoming sunburnt. Would recommend.

Great quality and feels so cool under the umbrellas. I love it.
