umenice UPF 50+ UV Protection Travel Umbrella Ultra Light Weight

I have recently purchased this umbrella to block the sun on my way to work. I can see the following: 9/10 for sun blocking as advertised. 6/10 for windy weather. It was not very sturdy against wind. 9/10 opening/closing mechanism. I had no problems regarding that. 10/10 in size as it was very suitable to me. I have given it 9 as I did not try it in 40+ degrees sun yet. I suggest you use it during the summer or at the beach.

It doesn't block the sun 100%

Really solidly built umbrella. Just the right size when open and folds up to a great compact size.

Nice and slim when closed. A really great size (medium) for sun protection.

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.

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.

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.
