The coolibar upf 50+ umbrella keeps you cooler in the sun. Like being under a big shady tree, it's *that different*. I highly recommend this umbrella for anyone who is concerned about uv rays.

This sturdiness is really helpful on windy days. It's easy to use, sturdy, and copes well with wind. Width is great, it's slightly bigger than a travel umbrella when open and not as concave as a rain umbrella.

Coolibar customer service said they only guarantee the upf. Would not recommend this item. Buyer beware after 30 days no returns!

With one of the spoke hinges broken, it now flips with the slightest wind, and the metal wire right below the hinge is bending from the tension. One of the spokes snapped, no support no good.

The plastic push button which opens and lowers the umbrella is not durable. Because of the nature of the mechanism it can’t even be opened and locked manually, so it is completely unusable.
