CUBYUV Sun Umbrella Compact Folding Travel Umbrella Auto Open and Close for Windproof, Rainproof & 99.9% UV Protection Parasol with Black Anti-UV Coating

I just got this and only tested it for a short time, but I felt noticeably cooler sitting in the sun using this umbrella. It was the first time in my life that I bought this type of umbrella and I had no idea it would work. I couldn't believe it, but it's true, it works. :)I also compared it with a regular and a different lightweight umbrella. Normal and light umbrellas filter the sun, block the sun but not the heat. The sun continues to warm you. However, this is definitely cooler than a regular umbrella. Because it keeps the sun's rays and prevents the heat from passing through.Perfect design, umbrella quality, umbrella opening feeling, being resistant to the sun, working great in the rain, strong and sturdy irons. Good thing I bought it.

Nice quality. Looks lovely pattern is on the inside so user sees it. It is a little bit stiff to close, but opens very quickly. Won't turn inside out .

Excellent quality, sturdy and does the job brilliantlyI bought it for my husband, who burns easily, and he is delighted. Now he doesn’t need to wear the hat all the time which he finds uncomfortable when it’s very hot.The umbrella has a much better coverage area

This is a fairly sturdy umbrella...it has turned inside out a few times in strong winds but I'm yet to find a brolly that is totally gale proof! It turns back to shape without any problem and I have received a few compliments about its unusual look. It's more like a summer brolly for the beach 😁, but I like it.

I mostly needed an umbrella for the rain but I thought it a good idea to buy one which could be used as a parasol. I have just come back from a very hot holiday and this umbrella was my saviour. It really kept the UV rays off me and was my very own piece of shade everywhere I went. Haven’t used it in the rain yet but I have every faith in it.It’s a really nice quality, not particularly lightweight and you do need a bit of ‘force’ to collapse it back down but I think this all demonstrates its sturdiness. I’m sure if I can manage that as a weak seventy something then anyone can! It does have a curious fishy smell on arrival but that has faded now. You can buy umbrellas for a couple of quid but I’d recommend this one for a few quid more.

Parasol looks lovely well insulated against the sun. Press button to open but a bit of a heave ho to close. Seriously needs some welly.

Nice and light

The media could not be loaded. And so could the angle of the video but it shows enough lol.Let's get into it: When i first opened the packaging the umbrella handle was rather dirty; in the picture you can see it from one angle as i can only upload one video but it's dirty all the way round. This first put me off even wanting to use it but I tried it anyway. I had gotten 2 different ones to compare the quality. This one had a good weight to it and felt like the sturdy umbrella i typically use during rainy seasons so i liked that. The main thing i Didn't like was that it was a bit fiddley when it came to putting it up and down. There is a button on the handle with and Up and Down arrow but the button only seems to help the umbrella open and does nothing to help it pull down. When trying to close it, I struggled to find the clip that keeps it pulled down. This was quite bothersome as it was not easy to pull it down, the umbrella had a lot of force, so holding it down while trying to find the clip was just really annoying. Maybe it's okay for people with a bit more patience but it's just not for me. This being said, i didn't even try to use it outside cause i didn't feel like trying to open and close it again so apologies for not being able to speak on the ability to shield in the sun but yeah. I wouldn't necessarily reccomend it until closing it is way easier. In terms of weight, i don't find it heavy at all, i find it to be the same weight as any good sturdy umbrella that can stand a strong breeze. Another thing i like is that it actually closes like a normal umbrella, unlike the other one i got which i will link below or u can find on my profile to see my review.Maibar Folding Compact UmbrellaVery likely I'm going to send it back
