G4Free 46/54/62/68/72/80 Inch UV Protection Windproof Sun and Umbrella Golf Umbrella Auto Open Double Canopy Ventilated Plus Size for Men and Women

This umbrella was a replacement for a lovely golf umbrella I had that sadly got stolen. I searched for a windproof one as it really annoys me when umbrellas blow inside out when it's windy & rainy. I also wanted one that could be used as a sunshade as my skin is extra sensitive after suffering 2nd degree burns and post chemotherapy. I also chose this one because I loved the mint/greeny-blue colour (actually called Lake Blue) on the inside and the good reflective silver on the outside. The inside colour is a happy colour for me so cheers me up on dark rainy days! I must say, when it arrived I was surprised how big it was - it's huge! You could easily fit 2 or 3 people underneath it! It's been well and truly tested in the rain and is marvelous - kept me very dry. It has a flap - like a little extra umbrella at the top to make it windproof & I was worried rain might leak through but thankfully it was completely water-tight. I haven't really tested it properly in the strong wind yet - so will come back to this after that event has occurred. The 2nd photo only shows about ¼ of the umbrella, just to give you an idea of size. I had it on that side of me because that was the direction the wind was blowing the rain from. Sorry it doesn't show it all, it's all I've got at the moment. If I can add some more pictures later I will... 😊 When folded up I used it as a walking stick, but at 5'5" it was very tall for me - I think it would be a good size walking stick for a 6' person! As a sunshade it was perfect too and gave very good coverage. It would be ideal as a sunshade on the beach or when out for a picnic. I purchased it just before a music festival weekend I went to. I clamped it onto a hired mobility scooter to keep both the rain and the sun off me. Although it gave me good coverage it was a bit big for that in a crowded place. The part of the handle that you hold is soft grip which is great on the hands but not so good for a small clamp. My daughter walked beside me when I was in the motability scooter and it was big enough for her to be able to hold it over both of us. In crowded places, when there's just one underneath, the umbrella is so big it's a bit of a liability - I was constantly aware that someone might get caught by it. I think if I were a tall person, or not in a mobility scooter, that wouldn't have bothered me so much as it would be above most people's heads! It's perfect when there's not crowds though - and people certainly see you coming! It comes complete with a silver case that has a strap so you can carry it over your shoulder when not in use, which is really handy. I'm very pleased with this umbrella and hope it lasts me a long time. ☔️☂️⛱️🌂

I bought this as had bought a smaller size which would fit in a rucksack and found it slightly too small to keep both of my arms in the shade. This umbrella is huge! Found it too big for my use and had to return for the next size down, but it would be great if you wanted to protect multiple people. The automatic opening feature worked extremely well and the uv block out silver cover really does stop any sun coming through. The umbrella cover is extremely convenient for slinging over your shoulder to easily carry the umbrella. Would recommend any of these umbrellas.

Just a word of warning. When you get this brolly it smells - really bad, like fish gone off. I had to leave it up for almost 5 days before I could put it in my golf bag in the car. Other than that it’s a good brolly with smooth automatic opening.

The umbrella doesn’t seem to absorb the sun’s rays like a conventional umbrella so it’s much cooler underneath. I bought the 68inch and it provides quite a large area of shade. It also provides plenty of shelter when it rains. I bought one in pink and was so impressed I ordered one in blue for my husband. On a very windy day it did blow inside out but it was very easy to put right and whilst it’s very sturdy it’s actually quite light. Highly recommended.

Originally written in 2021, I want to add an update because it is still in as good condition now as it was then. Admittedly it doesn't get a huge amount of use, living in England, but when it does, it has to cope with me sitting in a garden high up above the beach, facing the sea with the brolly behind me. When the wind comes in off the sea it can reach almost gale force on occasions, but and as long as I sit on the chair it puts up with all that comes at it. I do have a massive galvanised steel clamp to hold it to my equally tough chair, but in high wind it needs it. If I were to get up, the brolly, clamp and chair would fly over the bungalow roof behind me – in fact, if I left an average 3-4 yr old in it the wind would take the brolly, clamp, chair and child* too! It has never turn inside out, the spokes are still all in place (I had to put a couple of stitches on one of the ends holding the fabric to the spoke, but that is hardly a problem as it hadn't crack, the stitching one one came loose). It really was a good find. * I wouldn't ever do that of course, even if I had a child to leave there. Original review: I have a serious sun allergy and bought this for a recent holiday – I’m 5’8” and was entirely covered by the shade from this huge brolly. I used an old metal clamp and clamped it onto my sun lounger and despite a significant wind coming onto the garden it stayed up, didn’t bend, snap or tear and provided full body shade (and I’m certainly not anyone’s definition of slim). I found that there was a significantly lower temperature when under its protection and I will not go out in the sun without it now.

For the price id have expected it to last longer. It’s been blown inside out several times and one of the arms have snapped as well as the material coming away from another arm. Useless.

Does exactly as it should and kept me dry.

Yet to use but nice quality

Solid and resistent.

This umbrella delivers exactly as advertised! Living in a hi-rise condo with a balcony facing the scorching sun, I wanted an umbrella offering total UV protection. I also wanted it to be portable so I could take it with me to the beach, lake, outdoor events etc. This umbrella offers total sun and UV ray blocking, and appears to be very sturdy and well made. I bought the emerald green color, and the umbrella is as beautiful as it is protective. I just bought a second umbrella to give to a friend. I LOVE it! Look no further for another choice, and buy this umbrella!
