Shibumi Shade Wind Assist, Accessory for ® Beach Canopy That Helps to Provide in Less Than Ideal Wind Conditions. Anchor Sides for Tent-Like Shape. Compatible with All s®

Really keeps wind from blowing shade and cuts down noise. Worth the price!

We had seen the Shibumi Shade Canopy last year and wanted to try it, so we purchased the classic. We love the ease of set-up, the ease of adjusting it, if needed, based on the direction of the wind. We especially love the light weight. We purchased the extra weight bags for the back corners, and one day we needed them. Some people were not using the weight on the front, but we felt better using it because we knew it would not blow backwards. A storm heading in was not problem because this canopy is as easy to take down as it is to put up. The colors are beautiful and perfect for the beach. Have a little shovel or cup hand to make it easier to put sand in the bags. Directions call for putting the pole in the ground 6 inches, but went deeper because ours came loose at 6 inches.

this product does exactly what it was designed to do and very true to the videos and pictures!! Held up in some seriously fierce winds. We watched several canopies blow over, crumble, and collapse. This held up great! It definitely flapped pretty hard in the back but the front frame was very flexible so it handled high winds really really well. Even in the wind I was able to set it up by myself and carry it back home every day for two weeks at the beach! I wish there was a lot more colors because everybody on the beach had one so it was hard to tell ours apart and knowing if you want to get a new color you have to spend a lot I’m hoping they will sell just the shades at a discounted price so you can get a different color wothout spending another $200

I just love it. It's much lighter than an umbrella and gives more shade than an umbrella. We don't have to worry about strong winds anymore. While umbrella fly away on the beach the Shibumi stays in place. My husband complained about the noise the Shibumi makes while floating in the wind. I have resolved the problem by buying the Shibumi sandbags. They are intended to keep the canopy up when there's no wind , but I use them all the time now, and it stop the back part of the Shibumi from floating around, thus stopping the noise. It's a great buy, I highly recommend it. It is great quality and will last you a long time. I have had it for over a year now, and I still love ot.

This is our third summer with a Shibumi shade. Overall, it usually works very well—if there’s a steady breeze blowing in same direction. We bought these wind assist bags to help on those days the breeze isn’t cooperating. We have found them to be useless and a waste of money. Maybe if there were a way to attach a third bag at the center of the shade, they could be effective with three, but there isn’t. So until they redesign the shade for a center wind assist, don’t waste your money.
