CUBY UV Sun Umbrella Compact Folding Travel Umbrella Auto Open and Close for Windproof, Rainproof & 99.9% UV Protection Parasol with Black Anti-UV Coating

I just got this and only tested it for a short time, but I felt noticeably cooler sitting in the sun using this umbrella. It was the first time in my life that I bought this type of umbrella and I had no idea it would work. I couldn't believe it, but it's true, it works. :)I also compared it with a regular and a different lightweight umbrella. Normal and light umbrellas filter the sun, block the sun but not the heat. The sun continues to warm you. However, this is definitely cooler than a regular umbrella. Because it keeps the sun's rays and prevents the heat from passing through.Perfect design, umbrella quality, umbrella opening feeling, being resistant to the sun, working great in the rain, strong and sturdy irons. Good thing I bought it.

Nice quality. Looks lovely pattern is on the inside so user sees it. It is a little bit stiff to close, but opens very quickly. Won't turn inside out .

Excellent quality, sturdy and does the job brilliantlyI bought it for my husband, who burns easily, and he is delighted. Now he doesn’t need to wear the hat all the time which he finds uncomfortable when it’s very hot.The umbrella has a much better coverage area

This is a fairly sturdy umbrella...it has turned inside out a few times in strong winds but I'm yet to find a brolly that is totally gale proof! It turns back to shape without any problem and I have received a few compliments about its unusual look. It's more like a summer brolly for the beach 😁, but I like it.

Nice and light

Parasol looks lovely well insulated against the sun. Press button to open but a bit of a heave ho to close. Seriously needs some welly.

I mostly needed an umbrella for the rain but I thought it a good idea to buy one which could be used as a parasol. I have just come back from a very hot holiday and this umbrella was my saviour. It really kept the UV rays off me and was my very own piece of shade everywhere I went. Haven’t used it in the rain yet but I have every faith in it.It’s a really nice quality, not particularly lightweight and you do need a bit of ‘force’ to collapse it back down but I think this all demonstrates its sturdiness. I’m sure if I can manage that as a weak seventy something then anyone can! It does have a curious fishy smell on arrival but that has faded now. You can buy umbrellas for a couple of quid but I’d recommend this one for a few quid more.

Did a great job, the closing was a bit annoying but if you push it against the ground you can get the bar to go all the way down and click. It’s actually quite heavy, so unless leaving in car or backpack don’t expect it to be lightweight. That being said it did a good job of blocking out sunlight and rain, however unfortunately it did come with a very fishy smell! Spraying and using it did help but considering it goes over your head, it’s a little intolerable at the start.
