I never thought I needed a sun umbrella. Then last week went to a outdoor jazz concert and got sunburned for the first time ever. Since there are more outdoor activities to go to before winter sets in I came home and immediately began looking for some protection. When I came upon this site I stopped looking and ordered I was happy with the look of the umbrella and now my mother wants one, I will hopefully never get sunburned again using this product.

I have Roseacea and need to keep the sun OFF of my face, and just putting sunblock on isn't enough. Other umbrellas kept some of the sun off my face, but not enough. My face would still break out, and become BRIGHT red. I also wasn't much cooler under a regular umbrella. The Large Uv-blocker umbrella is WONDERFULL! We are having a record summer for sun and heat. I can now go outside for a walk and know that I am not going to end up looking like a lobster!
The larger one helps keep more of the sun off me, so I can stay cool. Since I am cooler, I dont have to wait until late at night to go for a walk.  Yes the umbrella is heavier than a smaller one, but I don't notice the extra weight, because it is usually resting on my shoulder. This is also the most well built umbrella that I have ever owned. I am sure that I will have MANY years of good use out of it. Thanks for making such a wonderful umbrella!!
