Umenice UPF 50+ UV Protection Travel Umbrella Ultra Light Weight

I really liked this umbrella initially because it was great to walk around in Southern California for awhile without the strong summer rays cooking my flesh. It is never that windy nor has it rain in my area at all in months. After every use, I return the umbrella to its case. I have used it almost every day for less than a month and it is already falling apart from what I can only guess is opening and closing it with the button or it being held up as I walk around a relatively windless, sunny environment. One of the little arms broke after I pushed the button to close it. The reflective fabric on the outside is wearing away already from opening and closing. I saw other umbrellas that serve the same purpose at my local major retailer at double the price but the mechanical hardware seemed to be of waaaaaaay better quality.

Works great! Only giving it 4 stars because the description is misleading. It’s says it’s a 42” umbrella, but the diameter is is only 36”

THIS. IS. AMAZING. I hate wearing sunscreen because I can’t find a brand I like and it ruins my makeup and it’s a hassle to remember in the morning. However I like to walk around with the staff during our lunch break for exercise and this umbrella is perfect to shield against the sun’s harmful rays. It is compact enough to carry in my purse but really sturdy at the same time. I don’t get why other reviewers said t flipped out with wind. Mine seems very strong and stable. I love that it has automatic fold-in capabilities if you press the down button. It’s an *amazing* price for the quality you’re getting. Bought one for all my coworkers. It’s a small price to pay for nice skin later on when aging reveals Sun spots and damage.

I ordered 4 of these umbrellas. I used one and it broke the second time I used it. It works against the sun but obviously its not that durable if I only used it twice.

I bought this to hike with, in the desert, because I hate to wear a hat. Never even used it in the wind and when I went to open it, it broke.

deflects sun like advertised, but it flips over too easily. moderate wind and... FLIP! the umbrella inverts.

Excellent sun protection and a hardy umbrella. I wear a hat. A face shield, or use this umbrella every day. I've opened and shut it at least a 100 times so far, shoved it in my breifcase, tossed it in the back seat when in a hurry, and caught it on a rose bush I was picking up and it is still woking fine. I've only used it once for rain, but it worked just fine

I was initially very pleased with this sunshade/umbrella, but then I tried to use it for the third time (no problems with the first two uses!) Suddenly the umbrella would not remain open (I had to hold it open in the rain), and then the rod would not retract down. So now I have a travel umbrella which will neither collapse down to small size NOR open and stay open on its own. I’ve tried to fix it, but been unsuccessful. It’s now just a piece of trash. I’ll be seeking to replace it with another brand. Would not recommend.
