UPF 50 UV Protection Travel Umbrella Ultra Light Weight

Own several of these travel umbrellas and have one in each vehicle. After major facial surgery due to skin cancer damage I don't walk 5 feet outside in summer without one of these umbrellas. Easy to deploy, size is comfortable even in crowed areas (outdoor concerts), weight is minimal and overall quality is top notch. Read more

I bought this for a summer trip to Korea and it’s been a reliable travel companion. It’s a little heavier than I expected, but the trade-off is that it feels very sturdy and doesn’t bend or flip in the wind the way cheaper umbrellas do. The UPF 50+ rating gives extra peace of mind on sunny days, and it definitely helps keep me cooler when walking around. I also appreciate that it comes with its own case, which makes it easy to slip into a backpack or tote without getting everything else wet. Overall, a solid choice if you want an umbrella that works well for both sun and light rain. Read more

I love this little guy. I’ve tested a few uv umbrellas and this is my winner for non windy days. It’s light enough to hold up for long periods of time. Is sturdy enough so as to withstand regular light breezes and is compact to carry in my bag or around my wrist without being annoying. I have purchased it twice because i used it in a super heavy wind day and .. well it’s not meant for that. But it did so well on regular days that I did want to repurchase it. Read more

We got this umbrella after one of my family members went to Turkey to have a hair transplant and needed to stay out of the sun. This umbrella was the perfect size for one person. We were in the middle of an intense heat wave while abroad and we were all trying to get under the umbrella given it felt about 10 degrees cooler in the umbrella shade. My only complaints are it only held up okay in the wind and I wish it were a bit more compact with us using it while traveling. It was still small enough to easily stuff in a back pack, but a bit large for a purse. Read more

I read every single review on UV protection travel umbrellas and I landed on this one for a trip to Mexico where it was 90-100 degrees everyday. I took this everywhere and used it all the time. I'm positive it saved me from sunburns but I also was more comfortable under shade. My friends were dripping sweat from their brows and I wasn't. Light enough to not think twice about throwing it in my bag everyday. I didn't use it in wind or rain. Opening it is easy. But, like some reviewers said, compressing it back into it's folded form takes a bit of effort. Not the worst but not a delight to fold up. Still completely worth it. Highly recommend for skin protection and high heat sun exposure. Read more

Amazing!! I have a uv sensitivity and this has changed the game for me, love itt!! me and my umbrella against the world Read more

Bought it the UV protection not the rain. It pops up nicely but somehow I hit the down button and it popped down and scared me to death. Now that I know how it works, I like it. You do have to "dock" it however if you want to fold it up. I have to push it against my body to get the handle to collapse into the fabric. Not a problem though. It is not very pretty and probably would not have bought it for the rain, but is it perfect for thr UV protection I need. Although I probably do look pretty silly walking on a sunny day with my umbrella. Read more

Great sun protection, while it lasts! I teach people to ride motorcycles. I do this in the "high desert," or the desert, right in the middle of the mountains. I've had a few occasions to break out the umbrella for students that are overheating. Instant shade. It would have been given five stars, because of its compact nature, ease of open and closure, and performing its stated function. The problem is in its wind resistance - non-existent, and its durability - very low. A stiff desert breeze ended its tenure as my sun blocking umbrella. It flipped inside out and ripped. Read more
