Fashion UV Umbrella

I’ve been using these for years. The last a long time. Best umbrellas I’ve ever owned.

After researching several companies that carry UV umbrellas, I selected the UV Blocker because they gave a lot of information on their product. Yes, the umbrellas are pricey but after receiving it, I feel it was well worth the price. I purchased 5 Fashion umbrellas. 3 are for my girlfriends for our 67th birthday celebration since they are all walkers. Another is for my girlfriend with skin cancer above her nose and the last is for myself because I have vitiligo (light colored skin patches). My dermatologist highly recommends everyone should use sunscreen lotion and/or a UV umbrella to protect their skin. I found the Fashion Umbrella to be a good size to use while walking. If needed, you can adjust the position of the umbrella according to the sun’s position. I walk at least a mile twice a day and find the weight of the umbrella to be very doable and lightweight. I am considering in getting the large folding umbrella for additional coverage and a travel size umbrella for trips. It will be smaller in diameter but easier to transport in my handbag. The claim that it is cooler under the umbrella is noticeable.

I had trouble with my order due to shipping delays with USPS, but UV-Blocker's customer service quickly solved my issue. A replacement was shipped out to me the next day, and I've enjoyed using my umbrella ever since. I wanted to wait for a few hot, sunny days to test out the umbrella before writing my review, but I can confidently say now that I love using this product. The umbrella is large enough to cover my body and sturdy against the strong winds. It also kept me cool and the heat off of me while I was outside for an extended period of time. I take it everywhere with me now if I know I'm going to be outside for a while. My great customer service experience and this high-quality product has me looking forward to supporting UV-Blocker in more ways in the future. Can't wait to keep using this umbrella for many summers to come!

I have been using UV umbrellas for years, especially the smallest one because of his portability. First time I bought the Fashion one and it surprised me its light weight and good handle.

Although it took a while to deliver due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic, it was well worth the wait and then some! I cannot properly explain how amazingly helpful this umbrella is. Using it while walking outside for about an hour in 35 degree heat with a 40 humidex gave me surprisingly more energy and made me feel comfortable in such unbearable heat! Usually I would burn but it looked like I had not even been outside in the first place and I had no hat or sunscreen on with a sleeveless shirt. I seriously felt the difference in temperature while walking with the umbrella as I held out my arm & hand out from under it meaning you feel so much cooler while standing underneath it. While using it you also sweat way less to the point where it doesn't become a problem if you have a problem with sweating. The best investment I have ever made!

I love this brand! I'm very sensitive to the sun and burn easily. This is my 2nd umbrella from this company. I prefer the handle on this one to the travel umbrella and it's bigger so it covers more area. Works perfectly for whatever weather. And I live in Michigan so that's saying something.

We run an extremely busy COVID drive thru testing site in South Los Angeles. The sun can beat down hot on our hardworking staff and student volunteers. Your protect keeps them safe while they are providing an incredibly important service to an underserved community.

The handy umbrellas make walking and hiking in the desert sun enjoyable and tolerable. We like the bent handles because they are easy to grip.

I love the curved handle because it makes the umbrella much easier to control. I love the reflection because it keep the heat as well as the UV rays at bay. It makes walking so much easier in the Arizona sun!

This comes in a vinyl casing w attached cording making it easy to sling over my shoulders. I bought this for uv protection on my walks w my dogs and I would highly recommend this umbrella. It does keep me noticeably cooler, it has a nice heft w/o being heavy and it glides nicely open and shuts easily. The only drawback is it’s price w shipping but I’m very pleased w it!

I love it, when I used it, it was much more than 15% cooler. I will never buy another brand. Very well made.

This is a very good umbrella, blocks sun rays completely.

The fashion umbrella has been great to shield me from the light after getting a concussion. I will probably keep using it to protect me from too much sun and because I am sun-sensitive. I just with it said “Sun Umbrella” or had a design that showed people it’s for the sun so I would get less questioning looks!

I own the golf, the compact and the fashion umbrellas. The golf umbrella has its own special purpose so I'll discuss the other two. I like that the compact umbrella fits in my bag if I will be taking it inside somewhere. While the compact is great for occasional use, I wanted something more durable for frequent daily use where I would be opening and closing it frequently. The fashion umbrella stands up a bit better to the wind and frequent opening and closing, which is necessary on daily walks with my dog. For example, I need to close it in order to pick up after the dog, and the shoulder carrying case allows me to have both hands free to take care of business. The Fashion Umbrella closes more quickly and easily than the compact, but both have their purpose and are appropriate in different situations. I would not do without either one. I never go anywhere without one or the other. The sun protection is the best available from an umbrella and the customer service and communication is excellent. I live in Hawaii and feel less anxious about sun exposure just knowing I have them ready to go anywhere.

Love, love, LOVE. This product exudes quality, & it is amazing just how much cooler it is under that canopy. The whole design of this item is so well thought out. Just from looking at the material, you can see it's at the top end of quality. The release mechanism is perfectly shaped & is crafted into the handle - so it doesn't catch - & makes a much sleeker design. I purchased this for my daughter who attends various events in the summer in prom/bridal gowns with her title. She has scars on her shoulder from when she burnt herself as a toddler & so I'm very keen on keeping her skin protected whilst she is at these events. I was looking into parasols but realized that the lace ones let the sun through them & are therefore not much use. So I did some research. The UV Blocker range came top in most of the tables for sun-safety parasols. I chose the fashion UV umbrella as I needed one without the big logo printed on the canopy - as she is on a float with other girls. With it being silver it automatically tones in with the sliver crowns that she has to wear. We have used them now on a few occasions & let some other of the older girls also try them out. Everyone whom has tried it has fallen in love with it - so I've run out of the refer a friend cards that you sent with my order. I can only downside, so far, concerns the velcro straps for holding the umbrella in the folding position. They are very, very long & dangle a fair way; & so could catch on hair, dresses. I have to remind my daughter to rotate the umbrella, when she is having photographs taken, so that the dangle is hidden - so you have to be aware as to where they are. In a perfect world I would have liked one of these, which had a layer of lace over the top of the silver (with the silver showing through) so it was more bridal. As this would have suited what we need to use it for better. All in all though I'm pleased as punch.

Provides really great protection from the sun!!!
