CubyUV Sun Umbrella Compact Folding Umbrella lightweight Portable Manual Travel Umbrella for Rainproof & 99% UV Protection with Black Anti-UV Coating

Compact and functional, will work well for both UV protection and rain. Fits perfectly in my baseball game bag.

I bought it for my beach walks in Florida. Works well, feels cooler, looks nice too! It's a quality sunbrella.

This product offers great sun protection but is heavier than expected. I also had hoped it would be smaller when folded, but I did not check measurements before purchasing. I bought it to take to an outdoor festival, choosing this one for the full sun blockage and because it was listed as a "parasol." The music festival defined parasol as not having metal, but I got in with it anyway! Yay!I wish different colors and patterns had been available like in the Totes line.The umbrella has black fabric on an inside layer and white fabric on the outside. It's no different in feel than any normal umbrella, but maybe a little bit heavier due to sturdy construction, automatic button release/opening, and the double layered fabric.I do not find it very easy to close at all, but I use it only occasionally so it's okay with me!

This umbrella lets zero sun rays in. It is well made, and operates smoothly. I misplaced one from the former order.

Using this to protect from sun and heat. Haven’t yet tried it in the rain, though I’m sure it will work at least as well as a regular umbrella. In the summer I have a daily walk during the midday heat. Needed sun and heat relief. This cuts both a bit. I chose a print that is attractive. As others have noted, the umbrella is a tad heavier than regular umbrellas, but it not significantly. Since the material is a little thicker than usual, wrapping the snap-closure and keeping it tidy takes an extra moment, but it isn’t difficult.

I'll admit, the reviews put me off because I didn't want an umbrella that was difficult to close and didn't last in the wind(because most unfortunately, I broke my last umbrella that way). So I've taken lengths to close it when I feel like the wind is too strong and so far it's been good. Gentle breezes don't break it, and even if the wind is a little too strong the umbrella bends a bit then bounces back. It's easy to open but it does require some caution when closing. The button is secure and doesn't feel like it'll break at any time which is great, but if you have long nails you could definitely struggle a bit. I actually chipped a bit of my nail pushing the button to open the umbrella. Otherwise it's really nice, gets the job done and it's lightweight and better than I thought it'd be.

Oh my gosh, this really works. We took it to a spring training game today and it was 80° and the umbrella worked great. Definitely worth it.

It broke with mild wind just after a few uses! This was a replacement because I received the first one with hole in the fabric, and now this one broke a plastic part in the rib, right after the returning window closed. CUBY stated in Amazon "umbrella QUALITY ASSURANCE" and that they will help solve product problems: so I hope I can get a refund or a GOOD replacement, otherwise is not worth to buy this umbrella. Even my $3 umbrella from a chinese store have been last over 3 years now, this is ridiculous. I bought this expensive umbrella just for the UV protection, but being this weak and flimsy, DO NOT BUY IT unless CUBY help solving the problem.
