G4Free 46/54/62/68/72/80 Inch UV Protection Windproof Sun and Umbrella Golf Umbrella Auto Open Double Canopy Ventilated Plus Size for Men and Women

This umbrella was a replacement for a lovely golf umbrella I had that sadly got stolen. I searched for a windproof one as it really annoys me when umbrellas blow inside out when it's windy & rainy. I also wanted one that could be used as a sunshade as my skin is extra sensitive after suffering 2nd degree burns and post chemotherapy.I also chose this one because I loved the mint/greeny-blue colour (actually called Lake Blue) on the inside and the good reflective silver on the outside. The inside colour is a happy colour for me so cheers me up on dark rainy days!I must say, when it arrived I was surprised how big it was - it's huge! You could easily fit 2 or 3 people underneath it!It's been well and truly tested in the rain and is marvelous - kept me very dry. It has a flap - like a little extra umbrella at the top to make it windproof & I was worried rain might leak through but thankfully it was completely water-tight.I haven't really tested it properly in the strong wind yet - so will come back to this after that event has occurred.The 2nd photo only shows about ¼ of the umbrella, just to give you an idea of size. I had it on that side of me because that was the direction the wind was blowing the rain from. Sorry it doesn't show it all, it's all I've got at the moment. If I can add some more pictures later I will... 😊When folded up I used it as a walking stick, but at 5'5" it was very tall for me - I think it would be a good size walking stick for a 6' person!As a sunshade it was perfect too and gave very good coverage. It would be ideal as a sunshade on the beach or when out for a picnic.I purchased it just before a music festival weekend I went to. I clamped it onto a hired mobility scooter to keep both the rain and the sun off me. Although it gave me good coverage it was a bit big for that in a crowded place.The part of the handle that you hold is soft grip which is great on the hands but not so good for a small clamp. My daughter walked beside me when I was in the motability scooter and it was big enough for her to be able to hold it over both of us.In crowded places, when there's just one underneath, the umbrella is so big it's a bit of a liability - I was constantly aware that someone might get caught by it. I think if I were a tall person, or not in a mobility scooter, that wouldn't have bothered me so much as it would be above most people's heads! It's perfect when there's not crowds though - and people certainly see you coming!It comes complete with a silver case that has a strap so you can carry it over your shoulder when not in use, which is really handy.I'm very pleased with this umbrella and hope it lasts me a long time. ☔️☂️⛱️🌂

I have a serious sun allergy and bought this for a recent holiday – I’m 5’8” and was entirely covered by the shade from this huge brolly. I used an old metal clamp and clamped it onto my sun lounger and despite a significant wind coming onto the garden it stayed up, didn’t bend, snap or tear and provided full body shade (and I’m certainly not anyone’s definition of slim). I found that there was a significantly lower temperature when under it’s protection and I will not go out in the sun without it now.

Umbrella has joints that prevent it from breaking when it pops in high winds. I work out side and use this umbrella constantly for sun, rain and wind protection. I've had 2 years regular use of the 68'' umbrella. POarts that need to be improved are the velcro fasteners & the wire used in the frame work holing the rods in place at the top...that broke today. Repairing with lock wire and ordering another today. 9/10 as reliable product for work and play.

This is absolutely perfect in this summer's weather for our trip to the beach. We will be able to keep the whole family dry as well as all our belongings. It has a great carry handle on the case and folds away really easily.

Great size for rain and sun.It did have the odd smell that has been mentioned when I put it in my trolley but when opened up for rain immediately after I haven’t noticed the smell so perhaps just needs airing ? Bought the 80”, perfect size

I used this twice and it and blew inside out and the wires holding stays snapped.Not even a very windy dayShame i had it a month it looked so nice before it broke.My old Bromley is still perfect that i have had for 5 years.I want a replacement. Please.Regards B Hall

Excellent quality and wanted to write a review to say that neither my partner or I can detect any awful odour as reported by many people. Super umbrella in every way.

I bought the 72" (light blue) umbrella. Used it, it's really good. A day at the beach is no longer a painful second day applying Aloe.I saw the 80", thought one for the garden too. It arrived. It's exactly the same size as the 72". But it's a manual opening one. The 72" is a button open. Advice, buy a 72" and save yourself a bit of money.Pics. 72" on the left. 80" on the right. Hans Zimmer - Time, on the TV.This was written on the 80" review. But also auto filled on the 72".The 72" would have been given 5*.
