The other thing is that the top of the umbrella which i assume has a cap came broken from shipping and we are waiting for the manufacturer to ship the piece to us

Hopefully we will be able to really put the umbrella to a real test soon

Lets get to the good and the bad

Two adults fit comfortably underneath it and you could definitely squeeze in morethe sun protection rating is impressivethe windows are nifty and do a great job of keeping the umbrella from blowing awayvery stylish definitely one of the nicer ones i have seen at the beachesnegativesthe auger which digs into the sand to secure your umbrella is plastic and not very sturdy

If they could tweak this in future versions and make the auger metal like other parts of the umbrella this would be a five star product all day

We havent used it in really hot weather yet but i dont think those will get much use considering that the front is completely open and the entire purpose of this is to provide shade

To avoid this problem i do try to set this up with the back of the umbrella into the wind so that the wind moves around it versus the front of it into the wind which means the wind catches it and its more likely to fly away
