I got the smallest size. I bought 2.What I found out is this is the one you want if you are walking around.The small size if perfect for that.I sure think the larger sizes would be better if you plan on sitting in a chair.As the morning sun was in the sky, my legs were not covered.I wore long kaki's and white shoes so it wasn't an issue.But I'm thinking I might invest in a larger one too.Overall a great product and very nicely made.Good quality.

Nice product.Works well - I don't have to slap on sunscreen if I'm using it. I've been careful in the sun ever since surgical removal of melanoma (and several melanoma-infused lymph nodes) 12 years ago. I use this in conjunction with breathable UPF 50+ clothes, hat, face/neck covering, and gloves. And sunglasses.I'm probably filtering out 99% of all direct and reflected UV rays while equipped this way.I'm okay with being pale. I just supplement with oral vitamin D capsules.I walk 12 to 20 miles daily, so I'm out in the sun several times a day for hours... and need the protection.Happily, the UV-Blocker umbrella I received does not sport a large logo (as depicted in the product photo). There's a large UV-Blocker logo on the umbrella's soft carry case (which has its own nice shoulder-carry strap), but that doesn't bother me. The umbrella itself only has one small logo that's been placed on one of its two small closure straps.I use this regular length umbrella when hiking near home (easy to use, open, and close), and carry a smaller collapsable compact sun umbrella while traveling.On stormy, rainy, gusty days, I use a regular black heavy-duty umbrella (not sun-specific)... one that won't flip inside out. Regular black tightly-woven rain umbrellas only afford 90% UV radiation blockage... but I've never had a heavy-duty rain-specific umbrella flip inside out during a raging storm. On days with raging wind I forego an umbrella and simply wear rain gear. Why risk damaging a sun-specific umbrella on stormy days? Because their UV-blocking fabric is treated and heavier, sun-specific umbrellas aren't heavy-duty constructed - so that they'll be light enough to carry around all day on sunny days.Dunno if the UV-Blocker umbrella actually would flip inside out and break, but I've read in the comment section that that's happened before, so I only use mine on sunny calm days. Don't want to risk damaging it since it does a great job blocking UV rays. I dislike wearing sunscreen lotion.I bought the J handle type so it'd be easy to control and easy to adjust handholds.Bought this fairly small size, because certain park trails I hike on are fairly narrow, and I don't want to be crowding anyone passing from the opposite direction. This size works well. Large enough to effectively keep the sun's rays off, and small enough not to be intrusive to other hikers.Some have complained about their sun-blocking umbrella fabric's odor. Mine did not have a strong odor. If yours does, I've read online (from people who'd bought another brand's UV blocking umbrellas) that opening the umbrella up and airing it out outside (for up to a month in some cases?) allows the chemical smells to dissipate. I didn't have to do this, but if you need to, that's the solution that others have suggested.Hope you'll get as good results from yours as I've gotten from mine. Best wishes to you in your outdoor endeavors. Be safe. :)

UV Blocker used to make a very light-weight (stick) umbrella. I LOVED them so much so, that I bought at least four of them back around 2011. I lost a couple of them, and don't know what happened to the other two...perhaps sticky fingers got hold of them. In any case, I spoke to UV-Blocker about a year ago and what little info I got from the representative left me understanding they no longer make them. Now, a year or so ago, I bought this "fashion umbrella. I returned it because it was VERY hard to close it. A couple of months ago, I bought it again. Same problem. I'm a 66 year-old female with very little upper body strength, so I struggle every time I use the umbrella. I AM keeping this one because it definitely works in blocking the heat.I'm pretty sure many, many other customers have the same problem. UV Blocker -- PLEASE bring back a light-weight version of this and KEEP the j hook handle. Love that!

We live in Texas where the summers are long and HOT and this umbrella really does a great job. Keeps you cooler and protects your skin from sunburn. I can definately tell a difference between this umbrella and a "normal", non-UV blocker umbrella. A little more pricey, but isn't your skin worth it? No one wants to end up with melanoma because you weren't properly protected from the sun. I am happy with my purchase and the price I paid, especially since it feels nice and sturdy and is sure to last a long time.I like this style with the curved handle... (we also bought one of the compact ones) this one is easier and more comfortable to hold for extended periods of time and is a good choice if you don't mind it being a little longer than the collapsible type when transporting it while it's closed.Overall, I am extremely happy with this umbrella and would recommend it to my friends.

I bought this to replace my previous UV Blocker Travel umbrella that I foolishly left in the back of a car which was not mine. Tried to get it back, no luck. I can NOT be without one of these so I rush ordered this one. I went with this one instead of the travel b/c I wanted a bigger coverage area and while it certainly does that, I didn't anticipate it being quite so different to carry around than the travel. Silly, I know. Not sure why I thought that but I did. Anyway, It's comfortable to carry for the size it is, the hook comes in quite handy, it's comfortable to hold. The handle is ergonomically shaped. The canopy is true to the measurements and as always, I will never veer from this brand b/c the level of protection can't be beat. I'm so fair that I just don't trust any UV umbrella brands but this and Coolibar. There are a lot of people who think any umbrella will protect from the sun and it's simply not true. I'm not going to find out with my hard earned money if one of the off brands is up to par with these. Not worth the risk. I am simply just too fair and do a lot to stay that way. I will still order a travel for the times when I need it to and from work (I burn in the time it takes to walk one side of a city block) and when this one will be too big, but I can tell this one will be my staple. Very well built, great for rain too and I've never had either the travel (owned for 3 years) or this one malfunction in high wind. I didn't get a free product, I'm not paid for my review.
