Sport-Brella Versa-Brella XL (Midnight Blue) - All Position Umbrella with Clamp, Midnight Blue

It occurred to me that I should be writing a review for a product that I purchased back in 2019, still use regular spring through fall and it still looks and works like nearly new. This is the most brilliant, versatile umbrella ever designed. It has 4 different positioning mechanisms and truly blocks the sun and the heat. I could not live without it as I have skin cancer but didn’t know how badly until recently. I have come back to purchase an additional one to keep in my car. If you are on the fence, don’t be. This works flawlessly and truly lasts!

looks great and its awesome. you can literally get it to work at any angle. however keep in mind that its not very lightweight. if what its clamped onto is not a solid hunk of metal, it tends to slide around a bit depending on how you position it / how windy it is. most sport/lawn chairs have metal rods but theyre covered with fabric so if you were to clamp it on, the umbrella will tend to slide forward or backward slowly. however, it works if you can sit by a fence or table and have the umbrella partially learn on something. and it looks cool. got a few people asking where i got it from already.

O.K., I got this today and just HAD to run out into our 99 degree sun to try it. I fried while working on it. It took three attempts to find an appropriate spot to attach it to my chair. It then took a little longer to get it appropriately attached to the chair solidly. Initially it was not tight enough and kept falling out of position. It took several tightening turns to get it finally solidly attached to the chair. When you are tightening, you need to be very careful, since they are plastic. If you get too aggressive, I can see the plastic cracking. Soo, if you have a heavy hand, crank it down. My chair has a square connect point, which makes it easier to grip and hold. If I had a ROUND connection point, I would add velcro (beady side of velcro) to the inside of each mouth. This should give it some more gripping strength, so that it does not slip on the round surface, without unduly affecting the mouth opening capability. Velcro glue is pretty strong, so it should stay there for a long while. The other alternative is to use an 'anti slip' tape, which is available on Amazaon ( Yorwe Anti-Slip tape is the cheapest ). Yes, you are spending more money to make this work better for you, but if you want it potentially 'better', it's your choice. Doing an Amazon search of 'metal gripping material" will show you all types of gripping tapes. On another note, yes, the 'XL' size is the way to go, if you want the most shade. Don't buy the regular size. I am 250 lbs, big sized, and I had shade on upper body and covering my legs, which was precisely what I wanted. Of course, as with everything, I had to do some adjusting to get to the point. One thing that I will mention is that this thing and kids goofing off around it most likely would not do well, as it is fragile. This includes putting it up and adjusting it.

For the price, it is five stars. There is 3 through 5 degrees of play in the adjustment joints but not enough to be bothersome. The polymer of the clamp is thick overcoming the mild brittleness and seems UV stabilized. The tubing wall thickness is a bit thin for the cantilever load of the umbrella at 45 to 90 degree setting if any wind comes up. Shouldn't be an issue since using the item will tend to be a more vertical position. The clamp and two angle adjustment buttons have a pinch zone, so I feel children should not be allowed to adjust the unit. Got pinched hard once. After that I knew what to avoid. SUMMARY: For the price, this is a great, light duty, sun umbrella. The asymmetrical design is actually useful and doesn't appear to be a gimmick. Slightest musty smell that disappeared in 12 hours. I will by another if I get another deck chair.

This universal self-mounting sun shade idea is a good one. If you don't want to commit to the bulky and costly folding chairs with the sun shades, this is definitely a good option. It will attach to the tubing on any camping or folding chair (I have many types and have found a place to attach it on all of them). It does block sun, and is easy to fold and light weight. HOWEVER, at least mine, is really quite flimsy. The arms and locking mechanisms could have been better with possibly better quality joint fixtures and thicker tubing. Every position I put it in, it rocks and sways. You have to account for this when trying to get it centered right. It rocks a lot with even gentle breeze or movement in the chair. I do wonder if I just had bad luck with mine, but bottom line is it has a lot of sway and flimsiness to it and I wish it was more solid. I think it could have been accomplished too with some thought. Maybe the next version will be built better?? I won't be buying another just to check. I've decided to just get a nice outdoor hiking/sun hat to supplement :-/.

Amazing customer service by this company! I purchased this product, and used it often in the harsh Arizona sun for about 6 months… i’m not aware of anything that can survive Arizona’s extremely harsh sun.. I mean Phoenix is called “the valley of the sun”… nothing survives of sun out here… Cloth, wood, fabric, plastic, nothing… including my umbrella.. sun destroyed it, but unfortunately, for me, I hadn’t even started using the umbrella for some time after I purchased it, and then I only used it for a few months in the summer of ‘25, and now again for about 3 months in the summer of ‘26…. So I was well outside of their one year warranty… customerservice team made it clear that this was a one time exception, which I completely understand because I was technically outside of their one year warranty, but they absolutely took care of me… this umbrella is pretty cool, I’ve never seen anything like it… It has all of these different ratcheting adjustment points (at least three) which makes adjusting this umbrella, easier and better than any other umbrella… And the clamp that comes with it is extremely handy as well… You should really try to buy one of these… what have you got to lose? Amazon has a return policy… buy one, you won’t be disappointed! .. and they stand behind their products!

Have used very few times but the plastic snapped at a windy game today and now I’m left holding the short stick for 3 hot and sunny games this weekend. Do they have replacement parts available??

Furthermore, the build quality of this umbrella is excellent. It is made of durable materials that feel sturdy and well-constructed.
