G4Free UPF 50+ UV Protection Large Travel Umbrella 42/46 Inch Auto Open Close Windproof Sun Blocking Umbrella

Given that I am a skin cancer survivor, I decided to invest in a sun umbrella. Purchased this and used it for the first time. It seems solid enough. Not too huge (like a golf umbrella), but not too small either. I didn't find it heavy to hold either. All in all, I am quite satisfied with it.Oh, they say it is "large" in their description. Sure, it is not small. But it is not "large" like a golf umbrella. I just think of as a good mid-sized umbrella. Frankly, if it was large like a golf umbrella, it might be too heavy to hold for long periods when one wants to keep off the sun. So the size of the umbrella is the right size, I think.I do like the fact that that is silver facing up and black on the interior. Seems to me that this is a good way to block out the sun.

Absolutely love the peacock feather design.. both of us! I'm 70 and my daughter is 32! Purrfect for watching outdoor sports

Nice umbrella. Easy to open and easy to close. Easy to carry. The only Improvement I would make and why I take one star off is that the handle is too small given the weight of the 46 inch umbrella. The handle really needs to be an inch or two longer in order to give it better counterbalance. The strap to close the umbrella should also be longer. It’s difficult to wrap it all the way around. It does do a good job of blocking the sun.

I had low expectations. It couldn't be a huge difference... LET ME TELL YOU!!!!!! THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE!!! I walked through outdoor expos with no shade, triple digits, and i felt immediate difference! It cools down, and protects you from the sun. It is on the heavier side but not where your arm would get sore from holding it. I held it for a good 3 hours and didn't mind it at all. The quality is well made and it's easy to open or close. Just don't push the button again when it's open already as it will close it lol!! Size is perfect and I was able to provide shade for my friends when they stood next to me. My friends are now considering buying one too when they felt the shade!!

I love most that this provides max sun protection - 50+! It’s a great color, fits easily in my purse or bag-no bulk, opens and closes securely and easily, it’s quality is superb, and for the money it provides protection that saves me money on skin procedures and aging repair products. Nice case too!

It surprised me when it first opened, but it works perfectly, as advertised.

Don’t waste your money buying this umbrella. I purchased 7 of them. The first one I bought worked great for at least a few months. Then the other 6 I bought to gift them and kept one. I come to find out that all of them have stopped working within first or few uses. The one I kept for me last, stopped working the first time I used it. I can’t close it or open it back up. It’s useless.Don’t waste your money on this one.

I originally ordered this for my trip to orlando and carry around in disney world and universal (just in general when the sun is out). I was wanting an umbrella specifically meant to block out sun since in the past I've just used a normal rain umbrella (black) for the sun which wasn't so useful since I'd feel hot under the umbrella (im guessing because it was black) and since there were strong winds my umbrella would fold so I would just be hot and fighting my umbrella to fold back. However, this umbrella was a game changer. The umbrella blocked out the sun completely and provided a cool shade, it wasn't like my regular umbrella where I'd still feel hot under it. Also, during my trip some days were very windy, however my umbrella did not fold ONCE. The umbrella was easy to close and open and put it back in its pouch. I couldn't go a day without this umbrella and not to mention it came in handy when it would suddenly pour rain. Other reviews mention how its heavier than a normal umbrella but I got used to it really quick so it felt normal, plus I'd like to think that the weight helped when it was super windy. I would for sure suggest this umbrella if you'd like to get more coverage than just wearing a cap and be more protected since sun screen isn't 100%.
