Shibumi Shade 3.0 Version | Wind-Powered Beach Tent Shade Canopy | Sets Up in 3 Mins | 150 Sq. Ft. of Shade for up to 8 People | Includes Wind Assist | UPF 50+ Sun Protection

Very much worth it! Day one was a light breezy and the Shibumi did great on the beach. Was easy to put up and only had to adjust for a shift in this wind once. Was super quiet. Day two was WINDY and it provided the perfect shade again. Not super quiet in stronger winds but the ocean waves drowned out the flappy noise. Lots of people commented on it as they walked by, some taking pictures of the label. Much better shade than the old beach umbrella we have always used. It is nice and tall so we can stand up, it stays put and provides shade for my family and our gear. Yes, it is pricey but worth it!

I've done my homework and looked and scouted all the options out there. This one is well worth the investment. Lightweight and smallest compact size for the biggest shade area. Easy to assemble if solo and with 2 people. It's durable and the design is conducive for a windy day. Only 3 points of contact. Pole can go directly into sand (when beach rules allow) OR poles can go in a bucket of sand if beach rules prohibit for eco safety of the environment. I purchased this in the large size and returned since I needed only for myself and got the small one and used multiple times this summer. But now, because I absolutely love the durability and craftsmanship of this superior product, I might get the large one again, as I am traveling to the Caribbean in January with family and friends and I know how Lightweight it is, it will fit perfectly in my under 50 lbs suitcase. When I saw someone with this in the Caribbean, I had to ask them what and where they purchased. So glad I asked the. I really don't like to bother strangers but in this case, I'm glad I politely asked them the details, because I'm so happy with my purchase!!!

Have had this for 3 summers now and would absolutely recommend. I was initially hesitant based on the price, but this is lightweight and is BY FAR the easiest shade to set up. Over the years I've used umbrellas, party tents, tailgating canopies and none are as easy as this. It relies on wind, so don't expect to use this somewhere other than the beach, like at a kids soccer game, for example, unless you have constant wind. Haven't had any issues with it staying up while at the beach, as there's always plenty of wind. If the wind shifts you'll need to move the poles on one side so that it faces the wind. There's a lot of leeway even if you don't, but making adjustments takes all of 10 seconds and very little effort. Also, it does make noise, like a flying flag, so did the umbrellas, tents and canopies I've used in the past. This isn't any worse. It stores easily, is lightweight, easy to haul around, and can be set up and put away with very little effort. The part that takes the longest is putting sand in the bag. It is expensive, but if you go to the beach often, this is well worth the price for the convenience it provides.

I live at the beach, and yes all along the SE coast of NC you will see these everywhere and everyone always has a comment to say about the “sea of blue Shibumi’s” however it’s a MUST have if you’re a beach lover! I could never justify spending the amount for the regular size shade and even was hesitant to spend the amount for the mini, but I was tired of baking in the sun and using bulky cheap umbrellas that don’t last a season or lugging out my heavy chair with a pop up shade so I finally broke down and bought this mini. The mini is perfect for 2 adults or even 2 adults and a kid, plus your beach bag/cooler etc. It’s the easiest and fastest shade to set up and take down and so it’s so light and compact! It’s not big or bulky and the shade in bag fits into my beach bag easily! Now it is a bit shorter in height than the larger shade so in my opinion it works best with “low to ground” beach chairs or if you’re a person who just sits on a towel. I’ve only had mine for one summer, but I know it will more than pay for itself in the long run bc a friend of mine has the large shade and has used it regularly for the past 3 summers and it still looks and functions like the day it was purchased. I highly recommend investing in the Shibumi shade in whichever size works best for your situation if you’re a regular beach goer. Also, as far as stability goes I have not had one issue with it not staying up in the wind, whether it’s just a light breeze or a big windy day, it’s worked great!

Our new sun shade is a total game-changer for beach lovers at our beachfront rental! Guests (and us!) are raving about how easy it is to set up, light to carry, provides shade all day with quick and easy adjustments, and a breeze to store when not in use. Plus, it dries super fast! It's definitely a new favorite amenity for our guest. We love the design, especially the use of a natural resource making it more eco-friendly than other shade types we have used. This shade has been in use since about Memorial Day Weekend of 2025 and we have been pretty much fully booked since, so it has seen a lot of day after day use at the coast. Since this shade is being used almost daily over the past 2 months, we would like to note the quality of the shade's construction along with it's durability through extended use. I will be sure to pop back on to provide any updates if needed.

I was concerned about it being too loud, and it can be sort of loud on a windy day, meaning you can’t hear the ocean as much as you’d probably want to, but honestly all the pros are worth it. Plus, I can still hear the person I’m sitting next too so it’s fine. The other issue we had was if it’s not windy enough, which just happened to be a few hours, it oddly enough wasn’t windy enough so everyone with a shibumi on the beach had a hard time keeping their shade up and it’d just float down and sit on our bodies. HOWEVER here are the pros which make it so worth the investment - it’s sooo easy to set up, very light and small so it easily fits in your bag, provides a nice amount of shade and did I mention how easy it is to set up? We got the small size, which works for just two people.

I just love it, it’s not noisy at all for me… however it does really fall when there is no wind and you have to movie it around as the wind changes throughout the day… Still debating whether the portability outweighs the gamble of having or not having wind.
