ProspoUPF 50+ UV Block Sun Protection Umbrella Large Compact Folding Travel Umbrella 46 Inch Auto Open Close for Women Men

I’m so happy with this umbrella love the color.

I bought this umbrella after having some skin cancer removed from my nose and needing more protection. It is well made, gives plenty of coverage and I'm happy with the purchase.

its uv protect

This umbrella is cheap and tried it once for sun protection. It can't handle a small breeze. Will be returning

This umbrella is a great travel umbrella, especially if you want to use it to create some shade. The material that makes up the canopy is pretty thick and a nice silver on the outside. The texture reminds me of raincoat material.I cannot comment on how well this umbrella blocks out UV rays, but unlike other umbrellas, you can see that very little light filters through the canopy (see pic). The thicker reflective material lends credence to the idea that it is blocking out some rays.The ribs and pole for the umbrella look relatively durable. The construction is almost an exact copy of similar umbrellas made by more well-known automatic umbrella brands like Totes. The button to open and close the canopy also operates exactly the same as my Totes umbrella and even has the same markings. I hope that means that this umbrella will last a while, since my Totes is still going strong too.The umbrella comes with a sleeve. Usually I just toss these sleeves because after the first time you open the umbrella, it is almost impossible to fit it back into the sleeve. This sleeve though does a simple thing to make all the difference in a world - there is a Velcro flap to make it easy to insert the umbrella. Gamechanger.This umbrella is a well-built, attractive umbrella with a few relatively unique features, particularly the great sleeve and the interesting raincoat-like material of the canopy. Recommended.

It opens and closes with the button fine but the sun protection material silver on the top side seems to be too bulky to get the material to fold in to pull the closing strip. Must be as attended as the cover is wide so the fabric just keeps it from being as compact as you might be used to.Star Rating System (What do my star ratings mean?):1 STAR - Completely unusable, would request a refund2 STAR - Meets minimum viable product requirements, wouldn't purchase it again3 STAR - It does what it should, but in a non-spectacular way, I may recommend it, but definitely with reservations4 STAR - I like it. It is solid quality and delivers as advertised, I would purchase it again and recommend it to a friend5 STAR - I love it. It meets or exceeds all of my expectations and is high quality, I would purchase it again and would openly promote it to friendsAs an Amazon Vine Member, I give honest reviews, whether or not it is a good one or a bad one. I'm a person who immediately checks reviews on everything, and I understand how important an honest and thoughtful review is.

So this umbrella has like reflective silver shiny outside. It's to divert UV rays. It's kinda thin and I'm not sure how windproof it's going to be. I can't quite figure out if I am supposed to use use it to stay out of the sun or if it's really going to work in the rain. Says it's waterproof so we shall see. I believe everyone will be able to see me coming. I expected the silver but not the shiny part. It opens and closes very easy and is compact but I couldn't get it to wrap tight enough to go back in the cover but I never was good at packing. I don't sit out at sporting events so I'm not sure how much the UV protection will benefit me because I got it for an umbrella for the RAIN, lol.

Works well for both auto opening and closing. Folding is a bit tricky because of how thick the fabric is, but that sort of comes with the territory. That is to say, if good sun blocking is wanted, the fabric has to be a certain thickness to block the sun well. The sheath is nice, apparently made of the same fabric.Probably the worst part for me is that the smell is rather bothersome. Not sure if it's a UV repellent coating or something, but for me that's what is stopping it from being full 5 stars.
