FDJASGY UV Sun Umbrella Compact Folding Travel Umbrella Auto Open Close Compact Folding Rain Umbrellas for Women Men Blocking UV 99.98%

Very flimsy, it flipped upside down the first time I used it. I’m returning it.

I am obsessed with sun protection in extremely meticulous ways. I’m always that person wearing extreme SPF, even on cloudy days. When I discovered that there are umbrellas with UV protection, I knew I had to try one. This umbrella is phenomenal, and I use it year-round, even on the sunniest days, to protect myself from UV rays while walking around town. Pros: Sturdy and Compact: This umbrella is as compact as a standard portable umbrella but far more sturdy. It’s easy to carry around, fitting perfectly in my man bag or chest sling. Excellent UV Protection: The umbrella’s surface is extremely reflective, effectively blocking all UV rays when you’re underneath it. This feature is perfect for my usage, providing peace of mind during sunny days. Convenient Travel Case: The best part of this umbrella is the travel case. Unlike most umbrellas with frustrating sleeves, this one has a quarter-zip mechanism. It makes it extremely easy to unzip the cover, slip the umbrella in, and zip it up. This convenience takes the umbrella to the next level. Cons: Weight: If I had to point out a minor criticism, it would be that the umbrella could be slightly lighter. However, this is not a significant issue and doesn’t detract from its overall functionality. In summary, I can’t think of anything negative to say about this umbrella. It’s a fantastic product, perfect for anyone obsessed with sun protection like me. Highly recommended!

Finally found a solid quality travel umbrella that operates reliably and will handle both rain and UV/shade needs. It's not the smallest or lightest weight option, but honestly those did not work out for me, I tried. This umbrella functions solidly without being too big or bulky and based on my daughter's experience with the same model will hold up to actually use. Literally had two other brands arrive inoperable/broken directly out of the package.

The umbrella is lightweight, the button opens and closes the umbrella, which is great for people with carpal tunnel. You need to manually retract the umbrella to the base after closing it by pushing down on the top center of the umbrella. Keeps my wife cool in the sun and it’s easy for her to operate. It is compact and lightweight, she takes it everywhere on sunny days. The only downside is that the material for the snap tore and could be better made. Nevertheless, I would buy it again because, I have bought my wife a few UV blocking umbrellas from other companies and none worked as good as this one, nor were they this affordable, and all the others were too heavy for her to carry for an extended period of time. We highly recommend this one.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I love EVERYTHING about this compact umbrella. It is only 11" when stored. I bought it over a year ago for a winter NCL cruise out of Galveston to four warm Ports. First - it is Sunblocking. the temp drop while under it is noticeable. Second - the quality, including the zippered cover. The span underneath is at least 36". The 19" telescoping handle is sturdy. Umbrella self deploys to pop open with just the firm push of button in knob at base. U need to firmly push on top of retracted umbrella to get it to LOCK into handle when putting away Would make a great gift. I would definitely purchase this again if needed.
