Purchased for my Nephew who is a Student at University of Florida... He does a lot of walking through out the campus (often times caught in the rain)... he is very happy with this umbrella.

A little pricey, but if you consider the way its fabricated, and the cooling affects, the does not matter.   I highly recommend this product, for walking around town or for anything outdoors.  Don't buy those cheap models from other sellers selling for 35 dollars or so.  Buy COOLIBAR!!

I normally would not take the time to write a review in a product but  this umbrella has been a life saver! I work in the sun for 2 hours straight M- F. I could not do what I do if it weren't for this amazing umbrella!!! This product I'd worth every cent give or a try u wont regret it. The umbrellas on the market can't come close to offering the protection this umbrella offers. It truly does protect you from heat and harmful rays
