Sport-Brella Premiere XL UPF 50+ Umbrella Shelter for Sun and Rain Protection

I bought this umbrella back in August 2020, and it’s still going strong in July 2025. Just wrapped another beach weekend with it—flawless, as usual. We bring it every single time. It’s been everywhere, used hundreds of times, and it’s held up like a champ. I added one of those umbrella hooks from Amazon that slides on the pole—great for hanging towels and gear. Setup? Stupid simple. Pull it out, twist the base into the sand, pop the top on. Just pay attention to the wind unless you want to reenact Mary Poppins across the shoreline. I switch between upright mode and what I call “tent mode” for windy days. Just tilt it, fill the sand pockets, and boom—rock solid. It shrugs off gusts like it’s no big deal. Yeah, the zipper windows corroded shut years ago—but I never used them anyway. A few threads around the support arms are loosening, but after six years of beach weekends, that’s a badge of honor. Still works perfectly.

I had one of the original Sportbrellas and I loved it. After many years of use it finally split the bed. I immediately ordered another one and I’m very impressed by the upgrades and changes they’ve made to it. It’s even better than the first one. See you at the beach!

We bought the Sport-Brella after seeing one being used at a soccer tournament. This is one of the best things I have ever purchased! The ability to have shade on the sidelines, at parks, and at the beach is amazing. We have used it on sunny days, as well as snowy and rainy days. It is easy to carry and isn't heavy. The flaps can be secured with ground stakes, and the umbrella can tilt. At a tournament this weekend, our Sport-Brella got so many compliments, I realized it was time to write a review!!

The good thing is that this umbrella has lots of tie downs. You can stake it down well, and a big rock, a log, or a cinder block will hold the pole in place. That weight helps overall, too. This is a non-starter at the beaches here, as the wind would carry it away before it was even set it up. But I actually use it around the campfire, set back a bit. It's light enough to pack into any camp that you're making multiple trips to set up. I sleep elsewhere, my van or a tent, but this is a nice fire reflector and dry in the drizzle. It would be easy to sleep in if you wanted to. This sets up really well between two trees, with its back to brush -- even in wind this works well, if It's tied down. If it isn't tied down in the wind, it will almost certainly blow, roll, and break. It's just a big umbrella.

This is great for the beach. It opens quickly and is sturdy. It is large enough to accommodate two to three people.

I recently purchased an XL Umbrella Shelter to provide some much-needed shade during hot soccer games, and it has been an absolute game-changer. Watching my kids play on sunny afternoons is far more comfortable now, thanks to this expansive canopy of coolness. The shelter's size is its biggest advantage, providing ample shade without blocking the view of other spectators. Setting it up is a breeze – it pops open with ease, and the sturdy base stays put even when the game gets intense and the cheering gets loud. It's also surprisingly lightweight, making it easy to carry from the car to the field. The fabric quality deserves praise; it's thick enough to block out the sun effectively but still breathable, which means sitting under the shelter doesn't feel stuffy or claustrophobic. The UV protection is also a significant plus, as I have peace of mind knowing that we're shielded from harmful rays. Another handy feature is the tilt mechanism that allows me to adjust the umbrella's angle as the sun moves across the sky, ensuring continuous shade without the need to relocate the entire setup. The inclusion of side flaps for extra sun protection is thoughtful and useful during the peak hours of sunshine. However, on particularly windy days, additional anchoring might be necessary to keep it grounded – a small concession for the overall benefits it provides. All in all, this XL Umbrella Shelter has been a fantastic investment for our soccer season. It's durable, user-friendly, and provides a haven from the heat, making those weekend games something to look forward to, regardless of the weather. A solid addition to any sports parent's sideline gear.

Honestly, my expectations weren’t high and I’ve been pleasantly surprised how much we’re enjoying this umbrella. The setup and take-down is unmatched, SO FAST. The corkscrew on the pole will go several turns into dirt/grass and provides a great anchor point, add four more quick stakes into the ground and this thing is firmly planted in the ground. At the park when everyone else’s portable shelters were going airborne during a large gust of wind, our umbrella didn’t budge. We always leave the vented windows about 50% unzipped for more wind resistance. This thing is going to work awesome on the beach. On park days we put a blanket inside for our kids to nap and set a camping loveseat in front to enjoy the shade.

Fantastic product. There’s so many ways you can set it up during the day considering the wind and sun, and it holds up through it all. The tie lines really help stabilize it, and the extra flaps provide just the right amount of extra shade. The fact that it has a screw on the bottom to go into the sand was such a huge help. Some of the best money I’ve spent on beach equipment.

I only tried to use it once in 12 knots of wind, it turned inside out and bent. Very disappointing and my return window was closed
