UV-Blocker Sun Umbrella UV Protection Compact - Auto Open/Close - Double Vented Canopy - Wind-resistant Sun Umbrella for Walking - 55+ UPF

Awesome!!! Works as described. It IS on the heavy side, but creates dense shade. It’s much cooler under the canopy!! Yay!! I’m ordering the beach umbrella next!!

I was one of the extras in The Chosen for the filming of the Feeding of the 5,000 (aka Feeding of the Fried Thousand 😜) I was on set (outside!) for two 10-12 hour days in late June = 🥵🥵🥵!!! Do you remember the level in Mario Bros where the sun ☀️ is trying to kill you? Yeah, we did the real life version those two days! We knew in advance that it would be 100 degrees with 50%+ humidity - and I don’t do well in the heat 😂 so I agonized about what items to bring to help me - especially a UV blocking umbrella. This one claims to make it several degrees cooler underneath - and it DOES! It was definitely my most important protection from the sun and heat. It was perfect for covering just me - if you want to share, you should get a larger size. It was very sturdy too - when the wind would gust, sooo many people’s umbrellas flipped outward and/or broke. The vents on this were perfect to let the wind through. Once I was accidentally holding sideways it so that it caught a direct blast of wind into the canopy which flipped it outward - but I immediately flipped it back and no damage had been done. The opening and closing mechanisms worked flawlessly for “Camera’s up! Umbrellas down!” too many times to count. In a perfect world, I wish it was a little more compact and lightweight when closed, but then I suppose it wouldn’t be as sturdy - which is more important in my opinion. Anyway! If you’re looking for an excellent UV umbrella that does what it says while also being small enough to travel with - congratulations! You found it!!! I also took an electric neck fan (the batteries lasted the entire day!), a wooden fan, a Frogg togg towel and a water mister. Most important was drinking plenty of water with electrolyte packets added.

It is medium weight and well made. It is very reflective with a vented top to let heat out. We will be using the umbrellas in Spain next month. Our use of them in hot weather and full sun definitely helped us to stay cooler.

Noticeably cooler under the umbrella. It really does block out completely. I have been using this on sunny summer days at my boys soccer games. 5 people cane up and asked me where i got it. So they also ordered themselves an umbrella. Well made with good stitching.

Good sun umbrella with strong UV protection. The 42” size is compact and works well. It comes with a cover, but NO shoulder strap, and since it’s thick, it doesn’t fit in a bag.I don’t like carrying it by hand. The 44” and 58” includes a strap, which would make this one much better. That’s why I give it 4.5 stars; otherwise, it’s great. Yes, I recommend this item. Well done!

Expensive but good. I bought the 44 inch one and to see how well it worked, I hung out a thermometer for a while then put it under the umbrella. The temperature dropped around 10 degrees in about 5 minutes. I stayed in roughly the same spot, in direct sunlight. After about 7 minutes it was too hot to stay outside regardless of being under the umbrella so I came back inside. It was around 6 pm in dry heat, in the country, no concrete or tar around. To open the umbrella up you press the button and it shoots open smoothly but with force. It pulls shut fairly easily. Give yourself plenty of space before opening it! And maybe hang on to the attached cord on the handle just in case it shoots out of your hand! The 44 inch one feels plenty large enough and comes with a bag with straps which is handy. Whether or not it’ll hold up in wind I have yet to see. It’s definitely heavier than a regular umbrella but then it’s made of different materials. I like it. Also, when I use the umbrella out near my hummingbird feeders, I no longer worry about an angry hummer piercing my nose.

Far superior to a standard portable umbrella.Keeps you 10 degrees cooler in the hot Atlanta sun. No fear of UV damage with this umbrella. A nice balance of protection and weight.

I used this to walk around our airport on a walking track with no shade. Winds were gusting to 26 mph so I was not surprised when the wind gusted and turned the umbrella inside out, but it popped back into shape and kept me comfortable during a 4 mile walk in 90+ degree weather. A little bulky, but it was easy to use and worked well.

Customer service from U-Blocker is nil. The person with whom I dealt was totally useless in that he did not want to help the customer. He was only interested in selling the product and nothing else. I could not recommend this company and product to anybody.

Practico tiro con arco de alto rendimiento, estoy constantemente debajo del sol y mi piel se ha visto afectada, he buscado muchas marcas de protección UV y me he dedicado a comparar proveedores y marcas, soy muy precavida al comprar, ya que valoro mucho la calidad, aunque sea un precio un poco elevado pero con valor garantizado, la dude un poco por algunas malas reseñas de calidad. Llego hace unos días y la calidad se ve muy buena, ya la usé debajo del sol y cubre efectivamente si se siente como baja el clima debajo de la sombrilla. La doble capa, con ventilación que tiene hace que refleje efectivamente la radiación solar, más que una sombrilla convencional. He probado varias de compañeros y definitivamente lo esencial es una sombrilla con doble capa y reflectividad porque si no, no protege bien. Esta fue la mejor sombrilla calidad-precio y además certificada, simplemente fascinante! Ahora queda probarla un año y ver su calidad a largo plazo, pero hasta ahorita estoy verdaderamente contenta

The umbrella was true to its description but with current weight restrictions on airlines, it is too heavy to be a practical travel item.

A little too heavy but protects effectively from the sun, better than a hat, can be stored in a bag and should be worn in the summer when you are outdoors under the sun.

Great umbrella. Very high quality.
