SunTek 46" UV Protection Silver Coated Vented Canopy Umbrella with Auto Open Telescopic Fiberglass Shaft. Folding Portable Sun Tech

I bought it for Carribbean and Florida sun trip but ended up using it in one of those Florida hurricane band rainstorms. Was very pleasantly surprised at how well it held up with the wind. It did flip inside out once but given the wind it was fair, and aiming it back into the wind it popped back into place undamaged. Great not to have to take two items can use for rain or sun. It is a bit ugly wish they would make pretty print but it’s a good quality.

We bought two of these sun protection umbrellas for going to my grandson’s baseball games, and then we bought two more. They’ve been invaluable! They protect you from harmful sun rays, you feel much cooler under them than under the sun’s heat, and you’re also able to see the games without the sun in your eyes. The whole family loves using them! They’re well made, and invaluable with how much more pleasant they’ve made watching the ball games in the sun.

I'm fair skinned and have suffered many sunburns, but still love to walk in the afternoon. Most of the walking path I use is under trees, but there are gaps where it's very sunny. I'd been using a standard black umbrella, which worked ok. Then I came across this umbrella and figured I had nothing to lose. I was astonished at how much better this is vs a regular umbrella. It actually lowers the temperature! It pops open quickly when I need it and is very easy to close. I loved it so much that I ordered one for my sister who lives in Florida!!

I was happy with this purchase. It did feel cooler under the umbrella and has lasted me longer than other umbrellas purchased. However the silver is starting to wear off now.

I walk long distances almost every day in the relentless heat and sun. Despite layers of 50 SPF sunscreen I could see quite a tan building and damage to my skin. I started carrying a regular umbrella which helped keep the sun off my face, but made me feel even hotter. Some Japanese friends came to visit and told me that in Japan there are umbrellas with a silver coating that keep the sun off and don't absorb the heat. I checked Amazon right away and found a large array of silver coated umbrellas. The first one I ordered was a golf umbrella and much too big to carry. Very disappointing, but I ordered this one next and it is almost exactly what I was hoping to get. Excellent quality, keeps the heat from building, and I feel much better when my walk is finished than I did before this umbrella. It isn't a miracle exactly, but it is a brilliant idea. The quality of this umbrella is excellent for the price. It's a little heavier than I would like, but everything else is perfect for me. One of my favorite Amazon purchases.

This umbrella works incredibly at blocking he sun. I live in the south and it gets hot….. with this umbrella there’s like an instant 5-10 degrees cooler effect. It’s great in the rain and has a sort of design that the wind goes through without inverting the umbrella. Great design.

I have used this umbrella for years now, probably about 5 years, on a daily basis. I am very sensitive to the sun, I use this rain or shine. It is now starting to wear through the fabric bit at the folding points, I will get a new one after this summer before the rain, but after 5 years or so I've gotten my money's worth out of it!

The sun blocking is amazing. It’s cool underneath it which is great but the handle is quit short. I use it at the baseball field. I’m doing to get the larger one which my friend d bought and it has a longer handle.

Great Umbrella. Has a very strong rib and canopy is double layed offering effective protection from the sun.

Works well in the Dubai desert heat. Strong too, worth the value.

This is a lovely robust little umbrella with good shade abilities and I love the venting for strong winds. It is just that it is too big for a handbag (I keep it in my tote bag).

Excelente calidad, llevo varios meses usándolo y en efecto no le pasa nada cuando hay mucho viento, es bastantemente amplio para cubrir a dos personas, también se siente una sombra mucho más fresca que los paraguas convencionales. Lo único malo que le veo es que no es muy portátil por su tamaño, no es para meterlo a la mochila y mucho menos a la bolsa.

Good product
