G4Free Huge Golf Umbrella UV Protection Auto Open Windproof Umbrella Oversized Extra Large Vented Double Canopy for Family | Extra Large, UPF 50+ UV Protection, Silver coating fabric, Flexible strong fiberglass, Double Canopy Oversized for Family

I use this primarily to keep the sun off me during golf, and second for rain during golf. This is my third golf umbrella. The first was black; it helped a bit, but I never realized how little until it developed water leaks in its old age. The second was a silver Sun Mountain umbrella; the reflective coating kept me considerably cooler. But it broke in less than a year. This umbrella seems less breakable; it's also bigger in diameter, which gives noticeably more sun and rain protection. I used all three in the umbrella stand of my ClicGear 3-wheel cart. This one seems to seat more securely in the holder, but that's an impression with little evidence to back it up. My major concern is the umbrella's value as a sail. In a strong wind, the extra size and the flatter shape of this umbrella catches the wind and might overpower the cart. Hasn't happened to mine -- yet -- but I have powered wheels with provide a much more stable base than a stock ClicGear cart. I have watched the carts of two friends who also have this same umbrella get capsized in a gust. This seems to be a necessary evil of the additional size that makes this umbrella more effective in sun and rain. BTW, it still doesn't beat staying in the shade of trees, if keeping cool is the objective. But it is better -- a lot better -- than being in the sun without it, and substantially better than other golf umbrella I have used.

Great umbrellas for travel baseball. Definitely reflect the suns rays and cooler underneath.

a little heavy to hold in one hand and fabric seams to easily tear when it gets caught on trees, fences or construction polls

This is a great umbrella for keeping damaging ultraviolet sun off during walks. We get TONS of people who see us walk by & make positive comments about the umbrella & ask where we got it.

Very effective at blocking Infrared heat. However, in high winds the overlaps don't open and it is a struggle to hold unto the umbrella. Build very strong.

I have never spent this much money on an umbrella before but I must say I am highly impressed! The material is very good quality and it is huge!!! I can’t wait to try this bad boy out at ballgames or any other event I have coming up! I love the colors! I feel so bougie!

Purchased the umbrella approximately 1 1/2 years ago and used sparingly (less than a dozen times). Unsure if I received a defective product but unsatisfied with umbrella. Pros: Size, Extra-Large umbrella perfect for my purpose of watching children’s games on sunny days. Reflective Material kept sun out perfectly; temperature significantly decreases while under the umbrella. Cons: Leaks at seams (dropped to one star as it defeated its purpose of keeping you dry). Poor quality material already degrading and tearing after minimal use. ***Photo doesn’t do justice as it is currently sunny and raining (discoloration/glare).***

This is exactly what I was looking for it’s a different material than your typical umbrella material (which is really thin) and I was pleasantly surprised that when it came it is very thick material blocks the sun amazing it really makes a world of a difference went outside and Southern California heat under the sun and put that over my head and it was like being under a tree shade!!!!! For all the people who say it smells weird or smells like fish I could care less if it smells like dog booty if it gives me what I need which is shade and to not die of heat stroke ….so pick your battles honestly I think it’s just the material that it’s made out of that makes it smell odd but it works 100% and doesn’t take long to air out the initial smell.

Realmente enorme, incluso demasiado para que los quería. Tuve que hacer una devolución.

This thing is huge. You want to cover you and a friend, this will do it. Want to make sure all your golf clubs are covered, this will do it. Seems to be quite sturdy material as well. My only concern is holding up in the wind. It might be too big and want to take you away to the land of OZ.

Originally written in 2021, I want to add an update because it is still in as good condition now as it was then. Admittedly it doesn't get a huge amount of use, living in England, but when it does, it has to cope with me sitting in a garden high up above the beach, facing the sea with the brolly behind me. When the wind comes in off the sea it can reach almost gale force on occasions, but and as long as I sit on the chair it puts up with all that comes at it. I do have a massive galvanised steel clamp to hold it to my equally tough chair, but in high wind it needs it. If I were to get up, the brolly, clamp and chair would fly over the bungalow roof behind me – in fact, if I left an average 3-4 yr old in it the wind would take the brolly, clamp, chair and child* too! It has never turn inside out, the spokes are still all in place (I had to put a couple of stitches on one of the ends holding the fabric to the spoke, but that is hardly a problem as it hadn't crack, the stitching one one came loose). It really was a good find. * I wouldn't ever do that of course, even if I had a child to leave there. Original review: I have a serious sun allergy and bought this for a recent holiday – I’m 5’8” and was entirely covered by the shade from this huge brolly. I used an old metal clamp and clamped it onto my sun lounger and despite a significant wind coming onto the garden it stayed up, didn’t bend, snap or tear and provided full body shade (and I’m certainly not anyone’s definition of slim). I found that there was a significantly lower temperature when under its protection and I will not go out in the sun without it now.

paraguas demasiado grande para una endeble empuñadura , a la minima se rompe

Package arrived on time without damage. It is solidly built with decent quality with a carrying case for this price range. I purchased the G4Free 72 Inch Silver top / black color bottom model. it is a huge size umbrella. There was a bit of heavy industrial coating smell when you first opened the Umbrella, I opened the Umbrella, left it in the backyard for a few hours to air out the heavy smell. Not a big issue. I use the huge umbrella regularly to block off the Sunlight for my afternoon walk. When it is a bit windy, you need two hands to stabilize the umbrella. Young teens and elderly may find it a bit too heavy. Not sure whether this umbrella can survive in a heavy wind storm, but I believe majority of the umbrella will be destroyed anyway in a heavy wind storm regardless of the price and brand name. Amazon has some cheaper prices for 72 inch umbrellas but they do not have the UV Protection, I believe G4Free 72 Inch Umbrella overall has a decent value and quality for this price range.
