G4FreeTravel Umbrella Ultralight UPF 50+ UV Protection Compact Umbrella Super Slim Small Mini Automatic Open and Close

This UV blocking umbrella is perfect for anyone needing something lightweight for travel. Its a more compact size so it fits in the pocket of my travel bag and doesn't add a lot of weight. I don't know how it will work for rain but my need is for it to block UV light which is essential due to my medical condition. I hope that the company claims about UFF 50 are correct. It does block regular light so I am encouraged by that. Its not super large but large enough for one person. The open and close mechanism works fine but its difficult to put back in the storage sleeve. The umbrella has a minimal plastic odor that will likely disappear over time. Its not super fancy or super tough construction but it works.

This was a last minute purchase I made before taking a trip to Asia, where rain (and intermittent strong sun) were expected. It turned out to be an excellent decision. The button for automatic opening works flawlessly. The only time it wouldn't open was when I accidentally failed to fully retract it when closing it. You must fully pull it down so that it clicks, so you know it's fully closed. And then the automatic button will open it in an instant.On hot sunny days, I've used this umbrella as well, keeping the sun and heat off of my skin, enabling me to avoid using as much sunscreen as I usually do.All in all, a great purchase! I haven't had any strong winds to contend with, so cannot comment on that. But for normal rain and drizzle, this has been a great purchase for me. Easy to carry in my purse, it gets the job done!

Works as it says just keep in mind it is pretty small but I love how light it is. Keep it on hand in my bag for if I need some sun or rain protection.

I have dozens (literally dozens) of umbrellas, but this one is not only very light weight and small enough to fit in a smallish sized purse/handbag, it is also very functional. The auto-open and close feature works well, and the handle is not too small/uncomfortable to hold - even in a strong breeze. I walked all over London with this and it's big enough for two people (walking closely together) to keep from getting soaked. I haven't used it in a strong wind, so cannot say if it will hold its shape or turn inside out, but for the money this was a good buy!

I’ve had some form of these sunbrellas for many years. This one is super light weight and easy to carry but I can’t imagine it lasting very long. After the third time closing it, it needs some assistance folding into the correct position. Hopefully it makes it through the whole summer.

Perfect small size for my trip, opens and closes smoothly, holds up in moderately strong wind, fits easily back in its little bag. I bought 4 umbrellas and returned the other 3–this was the keeper.

What I love about it it is light you can carry it everywhere and it does a beautiful job protecting from the sun!

As others have stated, this umbrella was very fragile to begin with. It finally broke on me 35 days after I purchased it. Reached out to the manufacturer who initially did not reply to my email. They finally got back to me after seeing my review and explained they were having email issues.They sent me me a replacement. Updating my review from 1 to 4 stars. The umbrella is still pretty fragile, but the compact size is very convenient to carry.
