UPF 50+ UV Protection Travel Umbrella 42/46 Inch Windproof Silver Coating Sun Blocking Umbrella

The umbrella provides excellent protection from all types of light. Its reflective fabric does a great job of reducing heat from the sun, and the vented openings at the top allow airflow to pass through, improving stability and comfort. While it is somewhat heavy, the weight is reasonable considering how large it opens. The silver reflective finish looks great and performs exactly as intended.

This is a great umbrella for sun protection. I love that it reflects the sun and the black interior creates better shade than a regular umbrella. The size is perfect. Of course it doesn't fold as easily as the standard umbrellas, but that is to be expected since it has 2 layers. It is a tad heavier than the standard umbrella, but not so much that your arms hurt or anything. LOL. I have only used it 3 times, but it feels sturdy. It does sometimes flip with the wind, but that is completely normal. It flips back easily without any damage to the umbrella.

OK, so this Umbrella prevented my wife from getting migraines in the Southern Peru climate. She used to live in Arequipa where the UV index is horrendous, but extended life in USA has her now sensitive to the sun at that altitude. This dropped the temperature by 2 to 3 degrees and kept the UV at bay. The only issue is it is very difficult for some women to close, that's why 4 stars. Also the height could be a bit taller for walking down congested South American cities. Regardless, she loves it. Wonder if you could conceal your thermal signature with it?

I am currently using this umbrella on a Disney vacation. It does an amazing job of keeping the sun off your upper half. The difference in the temperature is definitely noticeable! Then when the daily rainstorm hits, I am all set. It is plenty large enough for one person, two if you really like each other. The wind was moving pretty good during one rain storm. It held up very well. It turned inside out once. But, was easy enough to flip back. It didn't break. It is heavier than a regular umbrella. But, you should expect that with the protective coating on it. WORTH IT!

I bought four of these umbrellas for my adult kids. They were vacationing together in the July heat and I knew they would be sightseeing outdoors. The umbrellas were perfect! They cut the heat by blocking the sun and provide UV protection. It's amazing the difference standing under this umbrella. My teacher daughter now uses the umbrella on the playground at school and has other teachers asking to borrow it! Buy your own!! This umbrella is large and really is adequate for two people. It is collapsable which makes it convenient for travel and for leaving in the back of your car. Feels sturdy after a summer of use.

reflects and blocks sunlight but like all umbrellas that claim to not fold in wind, it does in fact fold in light breezes. an umbrella is only as good as the length of time it functions and works as intended so this might take a few months or a year to find out if it is indeed well made. UPDATE: It's definitely not wind-proof. Will fold backwards even in a slight breeze so you need to angle and support it appropriately. As far as UV protection, it seems to block all the sunlight because of its reflective silver coating and the black coating underneath that. You need to adjust the umbrella in your hand to effectively block the direct sunlight as you walk. It has kept me from being exposed to the sun. Even in the hottest midday sun, I have not come home looking burned at all. I wish everyone would use these. I live in a major city and I never see other people using these cancer preventative UV protection umbrellas, and I can't understand why they don't. 2 Month Update: One of the plastic hooks broke apart today for absolutely no reason at all. I only used it a few times. Just read that others had the same issue I did. Contacted seller tonight (06/21/2021). I Will update again to let you know the outcome of that email and what the resolution is. Update: I emailed the company with a picture of the defect in their product. Waited a week and they emailed me back, kicking the can back at Amazon or offering me 15% off another purchase. I contacted Amazon and Amazon issued me a refund. Moreover, I read the same defective product issues from other verified purchasers as I experienced. No more G4FREE for me.

I live in NYC so I have lost them twice but always buy again. The open switch works perfectly. The materials on the exterior and interior high performance. The mechanisms work perfectly. I use it for sun protection and rain. People come up to me all the time asking where I got it. Also the price is the best around. I used to get them from Coolibar but more expensive. Their quality is good as well but the price higher. IT shows what it looks like all closed with strap around it with a cover but, LOL it will never close to such a tight fit again, that cover will never go on it again, LOL but you can close it and still get the strap around it to keep it closed.

One of my favorite sun protection products. The umbrella is a bit heavier. I have had no issues w breezes, although a gust did flip the umbrella but there was no damage and you just had to turn it upright again. The umbrella does fold back into case, you just need to be mindful of the folds going in the same direction when strapping it. It’s really not that difficult. The umbrella pops open quite easily, press the button again and the umbrella does a quick half collapse of the spines…it does take a bit of strength to push the umbrella pole back into itself. The only thing that is a negative is that unless you push it back in fully reclined, you cannot just pop it open again. So there is a LOT of popping open, collapsing and pushing the pole back in itself when going in and out of stores. I wish I could just do a quick half close and then reopen. But it doesn’t do that. Took it to Florida. The silver fabric was fantastic for bouncing the heat off and keeping me cool. Most ppl were fine, a few ppl were looking at me weird, but I didn’t care, bc I was not over heating the way they were. It protected my skin too. The navy liner did not bounce light around on me underneath the umbrella. The temperatures were brutal at 98*F and super humid. This umbrella kept me sane when walking around as well as protecting my skin, but you still have to wear sunscreen to protect from UV from reflecting off of surfaces like concrete. I highly recommend for warm weather where you don't want to be cloaked in heat trapping clothing.

Este paraguas es simplemente sobresaliente, la fabricación, diseño y materiales son de primera calidad. Las varillas interiores y la del mango son mucho más resistentes que las de cualquier paraguas de cualquier tienda departamental y la redondez de las varillas internas es muy buena porque en otros paraguas de baja calidad esas varillas a veces tienen filo y más de una playera y chamarra la rasgaron o la rompieron. La doble capa de materiales es sumamente buena y definitivamente si se siente una excelente protección cuando estás expuesto al sol. En mi caso tengo que voy al mercado entre las 11 y las 13 horas cuando el sol ya alcanza entre 25 y 27 grados celsius y la radiación solar es de 11 puntos o más, este paraguas hace descender la temperatura muy notablemente y tu cuerpo te lo agradece mucho. El único detalle que si es importante considerar es que para niños o adultos mayores el paraguas puede ser pesado y si cuesta trabajo cerrarlo después de que se pliega automáticamente porque el resorte interno de la varilla del mango es duro y hay que hacer fuerza para achicarlo y meterlo a su funda. Para una persona normal el paraguas es sobresaliente pero hay que decir que hay que aplicar fuerza para cerrarlo. Muy recomendable para comprar y muchísimo muy superior a lo que encuentras en los mercados y en las tiendas departamentales aún siendo de prestigio. Ah, finalmente la resistencia al viento de primavera el paraguas se mantiene en perfecto estado sin voltearse.

Muy buena protección solar, cuando lo abres estas completamente a la sombra no pasa la luz y no calinta mi mujer encantada mi hija igual

Diagnose Sjögren Syndrom, daher bekomme ich ganz schnell heftigen Sonnenbrand trotz LSF 50+. Da das einen Schub auslösen könnte, muss ich direkte Sonne um jeden Preis vermeiden. Der Schirm hält was er verspricht. Er ist natürlich etwas schwerer als ein herkömmlicher Regenschirm, hat er doch eine ordentliche Beschichtung drauf. Ich habe das schwarze Modell mit Silberbeschichtung gewählt, weil der am zuverlässigsten die UV Strahlung abschirmen soll und ich habe das Gefühl, das tut er auch. Durch den Abstand/Spalt im Schirm entsteht keine sich stauende warme Luft, die kann gut nach oben wegziehen. Das Öffnen per Knopfdruck ist gewaltig, also immer schön Abstand halten zu Personen und Dingen. Das Zusammenklappen bekomme ich mit etwas Kraftaufwand ganz gut hin, bin aber auch kein zierliches Fräulein. Für die kann es etwas schwieriger werden oder sie lassen sich helfen.

I took this umbrella to Bali and it was really useful in keeping me cooler. It worked much better than just having a sun hat.
