I used this at a craft show I was vending at this weekend. It worked awesome.....when I remembered to use it! I did get a little burn, but that was because I had to stand in the hot sun for two hours straight because we got a small rush, and I forgot my sunscreen. Anyway, I'm super sensitive to the heat and sun lately. I'm getting into my 40s and maybe it's menopause or something, but the heat just gets to me, makes me feel like crap, makes me dizzy. Y'all, I'm from Florida. Heat is no new thing. I'm used to it. I'm used to jogging in it, working in it, living with it, sweating my butt off, hydrating A LOT, and I just can't take it anymore. I got this for some skin protection and some shade at a very short outdoor craft show, but I'll be using this for a lot more than that now.
It worked so well. First of all, it comes in a sleeve with a velcro closure to enable easy use of the loop on the bottom of the umbrella, which is just a plastic disc. Unhook that and slide it off, and the umbrella has another velcro closure, which is awesome in case I lose the sleeve next week, which I probably will, lol.
The umbrella opens with a simple push up the metal. It closes with a simple pull down. Nothing to push in, which did worry me at first as far as durability, but I looked it over and it all seems to be good quality. Lightweight metal, all smoothly finished, no rough or sharp edges, no burrs, even sizing, and it all operates smoothly. The quality is there as far as the metal used for assembly.
The fabric is really nice. The coloring, the blue and green, is bright enough that I found this easily in my bag. When I opened this up, I immediately felt the burning of the sun cut off. Not entirely, since it's the sun, duh, but this thin feeling umbrella cut off so much heat that I didn't feel a bit of dizziness or weakness all day. I was in the sun for 6 hours and used this as much as possible during that time, and this really, really helped for the time that I was able to use it. This in conjunction with wireless fans saved the day for me.
There was a bit of wind, and this didn't threaten to fold or blow out at all. I honestly didn't expect much from this umbrella, but it worked out so awesomely for me. The size is great for one person, or a person carrying a baby or dog in a sling, and it works really great to cut the sun's rays, and its heat, when going outside. If I had used it all day, I would not have gotten a sunburn like I did. It's compact enough to fit in just about any size purse. It opens and closes fast and easy. It just works. I can't find a single negative about this umbrella. I would buy again. I am going to grab one for my mom, as she has skin cancer and always covers up to go out. This will be great for her to have some protection on top of her sunscreen when she goes out, and it won't take up much space, so she can keep it right in the car door.
I love it and I recommend this for anyone needing some sun/heat protection. It just works and it's so convenient and easy to use.

too small for me, more for sun than rain use, not for 2 person
I feel that this umbrella is too small for anyone in the rain. With this umbrella, the lower part of the body will definitely get wet. This is more for sun use rather than rain. The site says for 1-2 person and if 1 person is small I think with 2 person, only the head will stay dry.The quality feels to be alright but I think in windy situations the umbrella may break. The frame is held together by thin metals which does not look to be durable in high winds. This is also why I am sticking to use this in the sun rather than in windy rain.The good thing is that this is small and light. The design is also nice looking and it comes with a lanyard to hang across the body for easy carrying. This is going into my car as an emergency use umbrella rather than as my main umbrella.
