Eco-Friendly RPET Fabric

Made from recycled materials such as plastic water bottles that meet the Global Recycled Standards.

Our mission at UV-Blocker is deeply personal. Following a Stage 1 melanoma diagnosis nearly 20 years ago, founder Ron Walker realized true sun protection requires more than conventional shade. This personal stake led to the creation of a sun umbrella you can actually trust. Today, our collection is dermatologist recommended and remains the only golf umbrella approved by the Melanoma International Foundation (MIF). We design every sun umbrella with your absolute safety as our highest priority, giving you confidence to step outside.

The secret to our uncompromising protection is the patented Solarteck® silver reflective coating. Rigorously lab tested to the AATCC TM183-2020 standard, each UPF 50+ UV umbrella delivers 100% UV-B block and 99.97% UV-A block. Because true comfort means staying cool, this innovative fabric keeps the shade underneath your sun umbrella a remarkable 15°F cooler than standard options. You aren't just escaping harmful rays; you are stepping into a genuinely refreshing oasis.

Whether you need a compact folding model for your daily commute (42"–58" arc), a substantial stick or golf umbrella for maximum coverage (62"–68" arc), or a personal beach umbrella for family trips (6ft–7.5ft), we have the perfect solution. Crafted from eco-friendly RPET recycled fabric and ranging from $59 to $130, our collection proves a premium UV umbrella can be sustainable, versatile, and functional. Find your perfect sun umbrella today and experience the ultimate in protective shade.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to help you choose the right sun protection.

What makes UV-Blocker umbrellas different from regular umbrellas?

UV-Blocker umbrellas feature a patented Solarteck silver reflective coating that actively reflects 99% of UVA and UVB rays away from your body — standard umbrellas only block about 77% of UV. Every canopy is independently AATCC TM183-2020 laboratory tested and UPF 50+ certified, blocking 100% of UV-B and 99.97% of UV-A rays.

How much cooler is it under a UV-Blocker umbrella?

The silver reflective Solarteck coating mirrors heat away rather than absorbing it, keeping you approximately 15°F cooler than direct sunlight. This creates a noticeable micro-climate underneath the canopy — a real difference you can feel compared to standing in ordinary shade.

Are UV-Blocker umbrellas approved by medical organizations?

Yes. UV-Blocker is the only umbrella brand approved by the Melanoma International Foundation and recommended by dermatologists. Our umbrellas are considered effective tools for preventing sun-related skin damage, including for melanoma survivors, lupus patients, and those with photosensitivity conditions.

What sizes of UV protection umbrellas do you offer?

Our collection spans from a 42-inch compact that fits in a purse or briefcase to a 7.5-foot beach canopy for family coverage. In between, we offer travel, large folding, fashion, and golf sizes — each featuring the same Solarteck UV-reflective technology and UPF 50+ certification.

Are UV-Blocker umbrellas eco-friendly?

Yes. Our canopies are crafted from RPET fabric made from post-consumer recycled plastic bottles, meeting the Global Recycled Standard. You get medical-grade UV protection while making an environmentally conscious choice.
