FDJASGYSilver Coating Layer Fabric Blocking UV 99.9% Sun Umbrella Compact Folding Travel Umbrella Automatic Windproof Umbrellas For Men and Women (Pink)

I purchased this for a long day trip at a local zoo. I have very fair skin and can't have much contact with the sun. I got it on time and it seems like a pretty sturdy little parasol. I used it all day today, complete with multiple openings and closings as there are multiple indoor buildings. The parasol held strong through the whole day. Very happy with this product as sunscreen doesn't work for me, not even the strong ones. I am pleased to inform that there is no sunburn and it was actually pretty cool under it today, like having portable shade throughout the day without any sun at all showing through the fabric.

Normally my wife keeps it in her car. However, during football or soccer season she keeps it in her purse. It comes in handy when the sun is out or it's raining. It's decently made compared to other UV umbrellas we've tried. You press the button to extend and/or retract the umbrella. This will reduce breaking it.

I have used various kinds of umbrellas in direct Florida sunlight while volunteering outdoors, even umbrellas that claim UV protection. This is the first umbrella that I have used where I have noticed that I am cooler underneath it. It is also the first umbrella I have used with a reflective surface, and apparently that makes all the difference.Drawback: Difficult to Close. I have been able to close regular umbrellas with one hand using the mechanism along the shaft. This umbrella requires two hands to close, using one hand to actually press down on the top to get it to click close. Or a wall. Pressing the top against a wall helps to close as well.In Wind: First of all, it's a sun protection umbrella, not a wind umbrella. It doesn't claim to be good in the wind. Plus, most umbrellas are notorious for going belly up under strong wind conditions... even ones that claim to be specially designed to withstand strong wind conditions. If you are concerned about its wind stamina, it might not be the one for you. But if you want to protect yourself from the sun, I recommend.

This umbrella was cute but so cheaply made. The material began to tear on the inside and then it got black marks on the inside. Handle is wobbly and now one of the metal pieces is broken on the inside so now it does not open fully. Will be throwing it away after only having it about 3 months or so. I was using it for the heat this summer. Also you still feel the burning from the heat even while standing in the shade with the umbrella.

Went to a funeral in Middle of summer, really hot. A friend had a similar umbrella and I knew I needed one. Good quality and great for those hot days when you are needing some shade

This blocks out the sun perfectly! I get skin cancer so I take this everywhere I go. Good quality.

This umbrella really blocks the sun! Last year I sat in the hot sun through several softball games with a regular umbrella. It did practically nothing to keep the heat off, which came right through. This year, with this umbrella, it's like night and day for blocking the sun's heat. Instant coolness and relief when I have it over me versus when I don't. I love it!

Used the umbrella once in June, when purchased. Tried to use again in August and it was dysfunctional. Useless. Would not fully open or stay opened. Too late to return.
