Blocks 99% of UV rays. Keeps you 15°F cooler. Melanoma International Foundation approved.
Whether you need a compact model for daily commutes, a stick umbrella for maximum coverage, or a personal beach umbrella, we have the right sun umbrella for you.
The secret to our protection is the Solarteck® fabric system. The silver exterior reflects both UV and infrared heat away before they touch the canopy — creating a genuinely cooler shade zone, not just a darker one. This is the same UV umbrella technology that made us the only golf umbrella approved by the Melanoma International Foundation.
Crafted from eco-friendly RPET recycled fabric. Ranging from $59 to $130. Our sun umbrella collection covers every outdoor use case — travel, beach, golf, fashion — with UPF 55+ protection built in. Free shipping. Shop your UV sun protection umbrella below.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes UV-Blocker umbrellas different from regular sun umbrellas?
UV-Blocker umbrellas use a patented Solarteck® silver-reflective coating that reflects UV radiation away from the canopy instead of letting it pass through. This provides clinically verified UPF 50+ protection — blocking 99%+ of both UVA and UVB rays — and keeps the shaded area up to 15°F cooler.
How can I tell if my current umbrella blocks UV rays?
Hold the canopy toward a bright light source: if light passes through easily, UV does too. A certified UV-blocking umbrella appears nearly opaque and carries a lab-verified UPF rating. UV-Blocker umbrellas are tested to AATCC TM183-2020 standards.
Are UV-Blocker umbrellas wind-resistant?
Yes. The vented canopy design lets wind pass through rather than catch, reducing inversion risk. The frame uses reinforced fiberglass ribs engineered for outdoor wind conditions — making UV-Blocker umbrellas suitable for beaches, sidelines, and job sites.
Is UV-Blocker recommended by dermatologists?
Yes. UV-Blocker products are dermatologist-recommended and the 68" Golf UV Umbrella is the only golf umbrella approved by the Melanoma International Foundation — founded by Ron Walker, a melanoma survivor himself.

Sun Safety in Canada
Canada experiences meaningful UV exposure throughout the year, with UV Index levels regularly reaching 8–10 or higher during summer months in cities such as Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, and Ottawa. Health Canada and Environment and Climate Change Canada publish daily UV Index forecasts and recommend protective measures whenever the index exceeds 3 — a threshold reached on most clear days between May and August across the country.
Key resources for Canadian sun safety:
- Health Canada UV Index: Published daily via the Environment and Climate Change Canada weather portal (weather.gc.ca). Canadians can track UV levels by city and receive alerts when protection is recommended.
- Canadian Cancer Society: Recommends UPF 50+ clothing, hats, sunscreen, and shade-seeking as primary sun protection strategies. Physical UV barriers — such as UPF 50+ umbrellas — are emphasized for prolonged outdoor exposure.
- Canadian Dermatology Association: Endorses broad-spectrum sun protection strategies, including shade structures and UV-blocking accessories, especially for individuals with fair skin or a personal or family history of skin cancer.
For Canadians spending extended time outdoors — whether working, playing sports, or enjoying recreational activities — a UV-blocking umbrella rated UPF 50+ provides continuous, reapplication-free protection. The UV-Blocker umbrella, independently tested and approved by the Melanoma International Foundation, blocks 99% of UV rays and keeps users up to 15°F cooler — making it a practical and reliable companion for Canadian summers.
