UV Protection Travel Umbrella

One of my favorite sun protection products. The umbrella is a bit heavier. I have had no issues w breezes, although a gust did flip the umbrella but there was no damage and you just had to turn it upright again.The umbrella does fold back into case, you just need to be mindful of the folds going in the same direction when strapping it. It’s really not that difficult. The umbrella pops open quite easily, press the button again and the umbrella does a quick half collapse of the spines…it does take a bit of strength to push the umbrella pole back into itself.The only thing that is a negative is that unless you push it back in fully reclined, you cannot just pop it open again. So there is a LOT of popping open, collapsing and pushing the pole back in itself when going in and out of stores. I wish I could just do a quick half close and then reopen. But it doesn’t do that.Took it to Florida. The silver fabric was fantastic for bouncing the heat off and keeping me cool. Most ppl were fine, a few ppl were looking at me weird, but I didn’t care, bc I was not over heating the way they were. It protected my skin too. The navy liner did not bounce light around on me underneath the umbrella. The temperatures were brutal at 98*F and super humid. This umbrella kept me sane when walking around as well as protecting my skin, but you still have to wear sunscreen to protect from UV from reflecting off of surfaces like concrete. I highly recommend for warm weather where you don't want to be cloaked in heat trapping clothing.

This is a great umbrella for sun protection. I love that it reflects the sun and the black interior creates better shade than a regular umbrella. The size is perfect. Of course it doesn't fold as easily as the standard umbrellas, but that is to be expected since it has 2 layers. It is a tad heavier than the standard umbrella, but not so much that your arms hurt or anything. LOL. I have only used it 3 times, but it feels sturdy. It does sometimes flip with the wind, but that is completely normal. It flips back easily without any damage to the umbrella.

Fantastic sun protection. Only complaint is that it cannot be unfurled in a half open position, each time the umbrella has to be fully closed to enable a press open.

I am currently using this umbrella on a Disney vacation. It does an amazing job of keeping the sun off your upper half. The difference in the temperature is definitely noticeable! Then when the daily rainstorm hits, I am all set. It is plenty large enough for one person, two if you really like each other. The wind was moving pretty good during one rain storm. It held up very well. It turned inside out once. But, was easy enough to flip back. It didn't break. It is heavier than a regular umbrella. But, you should expect that with the protective coating on it. WORTH IT!

A high-quality, lightweight, and practical product for rainy or very sunny days; the UV protection ensures skin care.

reflects and blocks sunlight but like all umbrellas that claim to not fold in wind, it does in fact fold in light breezes.an umbrella is only as good as the length of time it functions and works as intended so this might take a few months or a year to find out if it is indeed well made.UPDATE: It's definitely not wind-proof. Will fold backwards even in a slight breeze so you need to angle and support it appropriately. As far as UV protection, it seems to block all the sunlight because of its reflective silver coating and the black coating underneath that. You need to adjust the umbrella in your hand to effectively block the direct sunlight as you walk. It has kept me from being exposed to the sun. Even in the hottest midday sun, I have not come home looking burned at all. I wish everyone would use these. I live in a major city and I never see other people using these cancer preventative UV protection umbrellas, and I can't understand why they don't.2 Month Update: One of the plastic hooks broke apart today for absolutely no reason at all. I only used it a few times. Just read that others had the same issue I did. Contacted seller tonight (06/21/2021). I Will update again to let you know the outcome of that email and what the resolution is.Update: I emailed the company with a picture of the defect in their product. Waited a week and they emailed me back, kicking the can back at Amazon or offering me 15% off another purchase. I contacted Amazon and Amazon issued me a refund.Moreover, I read the same defective product issues from other verified purchasers as I experienced.No more G4FREE for me.

Living over a mile high in Albuquerque,NM the sun can be brutal for us UV sensitive souls, & this item works well for midday walks (& saves me from heading out at 5:30 AM to beat the heat). No more missed walks when the sun shakes off the covers before I do. Likely pays for itself many times over in terms of increased healthspan. Holds up adequately on windy spring days well-known to Aluquerquians.

Update: Unfortunately whatever they did to the quality of their product is not good. I had bought a replacement for my original one which I loved so much and had lasted me literally years of constant use. But it broke very quickly. I hardly even used it much because I preferred the original one more. When I had no choice but to use the newer one I found it frequently flipped inside out incredibly easily and when I opened it to get out of the car one day it just broke. 3 of the inner rods snapped, just from normal use! Hardly used at that! I'm honestly shocked and appalled at how far their quality has dropped. 😢 I don't know if I just got a bad one but it doesn't seem like it based on other recent reviews. The old version was 5 stars. The new version not so much. So I'm dropping it to 3 now.Original review:I live in Florida and I have Photodermatitus. So I am LITERALLY ALLERGIC TO THE SUN in the SUNSHINE STATE! Trust me when I say this Umbrella has taken some die hard abuse and survived! I take it everywhere and sometimes open and close it dozens of times a day.I am positive I've used it hundreds, if not thousands of times in the last 3 years since I bought it. And I've stuffed it in bags, in the car at my feet, on my work lunchbox, in backpacks, you name it, and even as it has worn it has still worked.I showed pictures of it now after all my abuse because I wanted to show how even with the holes now in the top, when open it still has pretty awesome coverage because of the double canopy. Like any umbrella in strong wind if you face the wrong way it may flip but in all my time with it that only happened once. I will say the Velcro to close the umbrella frayed over time so closing it can be a pain but that was expected since I use it constantly. The auto open and close button however is just fine still.The umbrella is also noticeably cooler underneath on a hot day. And I've used it in the rain just fine. A little small for Florida's sideways rain but my primary need was for sunlight anyway. Expect it to be a little heavier then your average umbrella because of it's durable protective material but I wouldn't give it up! I even use it in the theme parks!All in all I highly recommend this Umbrella and I'm sticking with this brand for my medical needs. I already bought the 62in for heavy rain days and have no regrets. If you have sensitive skin or a condition, do yourself a favor and get one of these!

Me encanta, su color, tamaño y lo fuerte que es. Lo utilizo mucho para el sol y en ocasiones por lluvia. Lo recomiendo.

Compré parai mamá y para mí unos hace más o menos 2 años y me gustó mucho su mecanismo que se siente fuerte aguantador y si hasta el día de hoy super bien. Ahora volví a comprar otros 2 para mí hermana. Los recomiendo ampliamente.Si cumple su función de protejer contra los rayos solares y contra el calor, y además por su malla y doble capa no se voltea con el aire y además se ven muy bonitos.

Ottimo articolo, vale in prezzo. È grande e pesa un pochino ma ottimo per ripararsi dal sole o pioggia

Muy buena protección solar, cuando lo abres estas completamente a la sombra no pasa la luz y no calinta mi mujer encantada mi hija igual

It has been just over a week since we started using this. So far, it's been fantastic! We love how sturdy it is. It's definitely heavier than regular umbrellas, but that's a plus for us. Also love how it opens and closes with the button - very useful for quick storage.We haven't found it as hard to wrap back in its cover as some others have mentioned. It's done very well in windy days! We feel cooler under it in sunny days for sure.BUT, we cannot say for sure it's protecting us from UV rays / keeping us cool. This is just what we've felt so far.It's been a solid purchase!
