Nice useful thanks

I travel a lot in Asia - and there, we carry umbrellas against the sun (they aren't much use in stopping monsoon rain!)....so with the recent UK sunshine, I was pleased to be testing out this "sunshade" umbrella.Pros ✅ the mechanism worked - setting out the umbrella soon after clicking the control button on the handle.Closed - it is a good fit for a larger handbag. You get a fabric case for stowing it away.The outer material was silver-finish plastic - and the inner some sort of woven white material.Cons ❌ Stitching and build was good - but I have seen better - so look at the photos to see what I mean.Also - the price is high at £26.99. On UK Amazon today I could get a folding travel silver-finish sun umbrella for £7.21 with >5000 positive reviews and many more in the £7.99 to £13 range.So I rate this as a 4-star product that has a 3-star price.

I’m not the kind of person to carry this when walking out and about as I’d feel far too conspicuous but if it’s protection from the sun is what it claims (50+) then it will be handy to have in my bag for a festival I’ll be at later this year. Spending hours in a field with no shade doesn’t sound like fun…and with me needing to stay out of the sun this might be needed!! - equally, it can be used if it pours down too!!It’s easy to open and close and the material is softer than an umbrella’s. I’m assuming it works by the silver outer colour reflecting the suns rays, as well as the properties of the material.I’ll have to report back on its usefulness.

Well packed compact size foldable umbrella, coming with a sleeve bag, one button click for open and close both, very sleek looking, good for sunny day, but for the rainy or windy days I have a doubt.

It’s a nice umbrella, but I wouldn’t call it mini nor would I call it lightweight! I wanted it for a holiday, but I needed it smaller and lighter. It went back :(
