UPF 50+ UV Protection Travel Umbrella Ultra Light Weight

I bought this for a summer trip to Korea and it’s been a reliable travel companion. It’s a little heavier than I expected, but the trade-off is that it feels very sturdy and doesn’t bend or flip in the wind the way cheaper umbrellas do. The UPF 50+ rating gives extra peace of mind on sunny days, and it definitely helps keep me cooler when walking around. I also appreciate that it comes with its own case, which makes it easy to slip into a backpack or tote without getting everything else wet. Overall, a solid choice if you want an umbrella that works well for both sun and light rain.

Perfect UV umbrella. Works great during yard duty and days in the sun. Absolutely blocked all sun and kept me cool. Perfect size for my purse.

I was looking for a compact UV umbrella to replace one I bought abroad and loved but subsequently lost. This one is perfect. It is small, light, and could fit in a large front shorts pocket sticking out a bit.It is made for one person. So if you’re looking for an umbrella that covers more than just yourself, move on. I’ve used it daily for my walks in the islands and it is sturdy and provides UV shade from the sun, which cuts the heat you would feel without it. So at minimum it provides a couple degrees cooler temps under it, if not more.It is not for use in windy weather. It will flip inside out. So don’t plan on using it in windy locations/circumstances. One positive, though, when it flips inside out from wind or otherwise, you just press the open/close button and it collapses itself back to its “ready to close” position. This possibly takes the pressure off from needing to force flip it right side up over and over again, which is good.It would keep the rain off your head but that’s about it. But again, I bought it to keep me cool during my daily walks in hot sunny conditions. I use it on cloudy days as well, to keep the UV rays off me.In all, it’s perfect to use on sunny days for walks to cut the heat. It would help in a sudden downpour or steady light drizzle to keep your head dry. If you’re looking for an umbrella for the same reasons as me, this is the one. I will update my review if the umbrella breaks or deteriorates significantly.

This umbrella was very helpful while I was in the Philippines. It gave great protection from the sun during the hottest parts of the day and stayed open during stronger winds. The reason I will only be giving this product 4 stars is due to the fact that it can be difficult to close, requiring that you push hard on the top of the umbrella to activate the mechanism that holds it in place when it is wrapped up. Lastly, the silver color on the top of umbrella seems to have rubbed off on parts of it due to my heavy use. Its more evident on the cover for the umbrella that you use when you stow it away so be sure to use it when you are not actively using the umbrella.

I used this in the 110+ degree weather in Arizona and New Mexico. It felt like the heat was being reflected instead of absorbed as it would be when using a normal umbrella. It is small allowing for easy carry by hand or in a sling bag. The build seems good during the summer heat but, it might not be sturdy enough when it gets very windy and rains hard. I will be purchasing another though when they are back in stock.

Perfect umbrella to sheild the sun on a hot day!

DO NOT BUY THIS ITEMYou would expect a UV resistant umbrella to actually STOP the sun from punching through the material but no, this umbrella barely stops the sun from getting through and hitting you.What's this mean for you? It means you're gonna get hotter underneath and damage your skin when you thought you otherwise might have protection.And I personally own umbrellas that are perfectly capable of blocking out most if not all of the sun, and they are MUCH cooler underneath.DO NOT BOTHER with this umbrella. Do better research and find something else.

This umbrella is a lifesaver! I used it for my two weeks vacation in Europe and my bf twice got heatstroke during the vacation, while I was totally fine I think thanks to this umbrella and taking it everywhere! It doesn't mess up your hair like a sunhat would, and although it's a bit heavy compared to a regular umbrella, it's not heavy to the point of discomfort or anything. Wish it was more normalized to walk around with this thing 24/7 :)
