G4Free UPF 50+ UV Protection Travel Umbrella 42/46 Inch Windproof Silver Coat...

The umbrella provides excellent protection from all types of light. Its reflective fabric does a great job of reducing heat from the sun, and the vented openings at the top allow airflow to pass through, improving stability and comfort. While it is somewhat heavy, the weight is reasonable considering how large it opens. The silver reflective finish looks great and performs exactly as intended.

This is a great umbrella for sun protection. I love that it reflects the sun and the black interior creates better shade than a regular umbrella. The size is perfect. Of course it doesn't fold as easily as the standard umbrellas, but that is to be expected since it has 2 layers. It is a tad heavier than the standard umbrella, but not so much that your arms hurt or anything. LOL. I have only used it 3 times, but it feels sturdy. It does sometimes flip with the wind, but that is completely normal. It flips back easily without any damage to the umbrella.

It serves as a sun shade perfectly. But its not very wind resistant. Protects me from rain very well. It is my main umbrella. I've been complimented on my smart pick when I walk in the street with this umbrella.

I am currently using this umbrella on a Disney vacation. It does an amazing job of keeping the sun off your upper half. The difference in the temperature is definitely noticeable! Then when the daily rainstorm hits, I am all set. It is plenty large enough for one person, two if you really like each other. The wind was moving pretty good during one rain storm. It held up very well. It turned inside out once. But, was easy enough to flip back. It didn't break. It is heavier than a regular umbrella. But, you should expect that with the protective coating on it. WORTH IT!

I bought four of these umbrellas for my adult kids. They were vacationing together in the July heat and I knew they would be sightseeing outdoors. The umbrellas were perfect! They cut the heat by blocking the sun and provide UV protection. It's amazing the difference standing under this umbrella. My teacher daughter now uses the umbrella on the playground at school and has other teachers asking to borrow it! Buy your own!! This umbrella is large and really is adequate for two people. It is collapsable which makes it convenient for travel and for leaving in the back of your car. Feels sturdy after a summer of use.

reflects and blocks sunlight but like all umbrellas that claim to not fold in wind, it does in fact fold in light breezes. an umbrella is only as good as the length of time it functions and works as intended so this might take a few months or a year to find out if it is indeed well made. UPDATE: It's definitely not wind-proof. Will fold backwards even in a slight breeze so you need to angle and support it appropriately. As far as UV protection, it seems to block all the sunlight because of its reflective silver coating and the black coating underneath that. You need to adjust the umbrella in your hand to effectively block the direct sunlight as you walk. It has kept me from being exposed to the sun. Even in the hottest midday sun, I have not come home looking burned at all. I wish everyone would use these. I live in a major city and I never see other people using these cancer preventative UV protection umbrellas, and I can't understand why they don't. 2 Month Update: One of the plastic hooks broke apart today for absolutely no reason at all. I only used it a few times. Just read that others had the same issue I did. Contacted seller tonight (06/21/2021). I Will update again to let you know the outcome of that email and what the resolution is. Update: I emailed the company with a picture of the defect in their product. Waited a week and they emailed me back, kicking the can back at Amazon or offering me 15% off another purchase. I contacted Amazon and Amazon issued me a refund. Moreover, I read the same defective product issues from other verified purchasers as I experienced. No more G4FREE for me.

Update: Unfortunately whatever they did to the quality of their product is not good. I had bought a replacement for my original one which I loved so much and had lasted me literally years of constant use. But it broke very quickly. I hardly even used it much because I preferred the original one more. When I had no choice but to use the newer one I found it frequently flipped inside out incredibly easily and when I opened it to get out of the car one day it just broke. 3 of the inner rods snapped, just from normal use! Hardly used at that! I'm honestly shocked and appalled at how far their quality has dropped. 😢 I don't know if I just got a bad one but it doesn't seem like it based on other recent reviews. The old version was 5 stars. The new version not so much. So I'm dropping it to 3 now. Original review: I live in Florida and I have Photodermatitus. So I am LITERALLY ALLERGIC TO THE SUN in the SUNSHINE STATE! Trust me when I say this Umbrella has taken some die hard abuse and survived! I take it everywhere and sometimes open and close it dozens of times a day. I am positive I've used it hundreds, if not thousands of times in the last 3 years since I bought it. And I've stuffed it in bags, in the car at my feet, on my work lunchbox, in backpacks, you name it, and even as it has worn it has still worked. I showed pictures of it now after all my abuse because I wanted to show how even with the holes now in the top, when open it still has pretty awesome coverage because of the double canopy. Like any umbrella in strong wind if you face the wrong way it may flip but in all my time with it that only happened once. I will say the Velcro to close the umbrella frayed over time so closing it can be a pain but that was expected since I use it constantly. The auto open and close button however is just fine still. The umbrella is also noticeably cooler underneath on a hot day. And I've used it in the rain just fine. A little small for Florida's sideways rain but my primary need was for sunlight anyway. Expect it to be a little heavier then your average umbrella because of it's durable protective material but I wouldn't give it up! I even use it in the theme parks! All in all I highly recommend this Umbrella and I'm sticking with this brand for my medical needs. I already bought the 62in for heavy rain days and have no regrets. If you have sensitive skin or a condition, do yourself a favor and get one of these!

Sun does Not come thru , walking dogs 3-4 X a day this is Great help in sun protection And helping to keep me frm getting Hot begin here in TN only had this couple weeks but should have gotten it 2 months ago Opens & closes smoothly

Me encanta, su color, tamaño y lo fuerte que es. Lo utilizo mucho para el sol y en ocasiones por lluvia. Lo recomiendo.

Ottimo articolo, vale in prezzo. È grande e pesa un pochino ma ottimo per ripararsi dal sole o pioggia

Este paraguas es simplemente sobresaliente, la fabricación, diseño y materiales son de primera calidad. Las varillas interiores y la del mango son mucho más resistentes que las de cualquier paraguas de cualquier tienda departamental y la redondez de las varillas internas es muy buena porque en otros paraguas de baja calidad esas varillas a veces tienen filo y más de una playera y chamarra la rasgaron o la rompieron. La doble capa de materiales es sumamente buena y definitivamente si se siente una excelente protección cuando estás expuesto al sol. En mi caso tengo que voy al mercado entre las 11 y las 13 horas cuando el sol ya alcanza entre 25 y 27 grados celsius y la radiación solar es de 11 puntos o más, este paraguas hace descender la temperatura muy notablemente y tu cuerpo te lo agradece mucho. El único detalle que si es importante considerar es que para niños o adultos mayores el paraguas puede ser pesado y si cuesta trabajo cerrarlo después de que se pliega automáticamente porque el resorte interno de la varilla del mango es duro y hay que hacer fuerza para achicarlo y meterlo a su funda. Para una persona normal el paraguas es sobresaliente pero hay que decir que hay que aplicar fuerza para cerrarlo. Muy recomendable para comprar y muchísimo muy superior a lo que encuentras en los mercados y en las tiendas departamentales aún siendo de prestigio. Ah, finalmente la resistencia al viento de primavera el paraguas se mantiene en perfecto estado sin voltearse.

It has been just over a week since we started using this. So far, it's been fantastic! We love how sturdy it is. It's definitely heavier than regular umbrellas, but that's a plus for us. Also love how it opens and closes with the button - very useful for quick storage. We haven't found it as hard to wrap back in its cover as some others have mentioned. It's done very well in windy days! We feel cooler under it in sunny days for sure. BUT, we cannot say for sure it's protecting us from UV rays / keeping us cool. This is just what we've felt so far. It's been a solid purchase!

Diagnose Sjögren Syndrom, daher bekomme ich ganz schnell heftigen Sonnenbrand trotz LSF 50+. Da das einen Schub auslösen könnte, muss ich direkte Sonne um jeden Preis vermeiden. Der Schirm hält was er verspricht. Er ist natürlich etwas schwerer als ein herkömmlicher Regenschirm, hat er doch eine ordentliche Beschichtung drauf. Ich habe das schwarze Modell mit Silberbeschichtung gewählt, weil der am zuverlässigsten die UV Strahlung abschirmen soll und ich habe das Gefühl, das tut er auch. Durch den Abstand/Spalt im Schirm entsteht keine sich stauende warme Luft, die kann gut nach oben wegziehen. Das Öffnen per Knopfdruck ist gewaltig, also immer schön Abstand halten zu Personen und Dingen. Das Zusammenklappen bekomme ich mit etwas Kraftaufwand ganz gut hin, bin aber auch kein zierliches Fräulein. Für die kann es etwas schwieriger werden oder sie lassen sich helfen.
