AMAZING!!!
I have a skin condition where I have lost all my melanin (most of it) and am totally vulnerable to the sun! This umbrella has saved my life! Been using Coolibar for the past 5 years now. I use the silver one, gives me complete sun protection and UV rays protection. These umbrellas last for years, at least 2 years and a bit more - I am rough with them and use them a lot. My best friend in the summers!!! Thank you Coolibar for this great invention. I don't need to put layers of sunscreen, which is eventually not good for you.

Pros & Cons
I have been using this umbrella for years, but am frustrated. I have purchased several, in anticipation that they are not going to last. That is unfortunate. I purchased two of these in November 2018 and am purchasing another, as the one I am current using (silver) has snapped a few times, and through my experiences, I anticipate that there will be a final "snap" and the umbrella will be broken. I use my umbrellas daily, as I never go in the sun. I have always stuck with Coolibar, and if I continue to have problems, will move on to another company, as there is another one out there that is reliable and similar. It depends on what Customer Service will do for me, as I have been a loyal consumer of Coolibar's umbrellas. But, through my experience with Coolibar's umbrella, my average lifespan of each has been about 6 months, which is way too short for the price you pay for it. I would appreciate it is Coolibar would contact me regarding this issue!

not durable
I purchased mine on a recommendation from a friend. I am disappointed. I have rarely used it & am finding that the material is thinning. Not what I expected.

Replacement
Freak accident! Alas, my silver Coolibar folding umbrella broke (in a rain situation) after many years' use -- no fault of the umbrella. For a while I tried repairing it/using it as it was, but that became difficult and weird. So! I'm ordering another, same color, same size. Same wonderful sun/rain umbrella. It's a must-have for my car, and I even use it for getting my mail . . . short walk that it is, it's still in serious tropical sunlight. I'm staying with the silver color. Great product.

Great Sun Protection
My first one would close but not compress. My current one is about 2-1/2 years and I would not be without it in this Texas sun. Not all that crazy about the design. It is self opening and closing, but then you have to press down firmly on the handle to compress. That's where I have an issue. It's not the easiest to do. I tolerate the difficulty because of the excellent protection it offers.

It broke already! (Approx. one month)
Please make this right. This umbrella is about a month old and one of the arms broke. I was unable to add photos.
This is my third Coolibar umbrella. It took years to wear out the first. I forgot the second on vacation. I was looking forward to using this one for a long time.

Great features
I’ve had mine for years. It’s a tad heavy, but having skin cancer issues, it’s worth it to me. Personally when it’s very hot, I find a hat makes me warmer.

Can’t use
I liked mine in the beginning but a few mo. after purchasing one of the bars on the inside snapped so now when I open my umbrella one side sags.☹️For me it’s too much money for something that broke this easily

Collibar 42 in Sun Umbrella
We purchased the Collibar 42in Titanium Umbrella...it worked very well in deflecting the sun..but, after approx 6months, the pulley mechanism failed, & the umbrella failed to open properly. We are purchasing the same umbrella again, & hoping that the quality will be better this time. If not, will return it & move onto a competitor product.

Nice to use in the sun.
We have been using the Coolibar umbrellas for many years even when the older design of the travel umbrella which were available probably more than ten years ago. We have tried other suppliers, but none have been better so we came back to Coolibar. Our two teenagers have learned to use umbrella in the sun as much as possible for protection particularily when travelling. The Coolibar umbrellas are used by them a lot thus the material becomes duly tested. The frame and the mechanism have worked well. The material will become a little worn after extended use and be careful with what surface you leave the umbrella on if you want them to appear new for a long time. Do not force them into the cover and use the automatic function to close the umbrella. The umbrellas are very good both for men and women and we encourage particularly men to start using sun umbrella. An umbrella offers excellent protection against the harmful sun rays in addition to proper sun clothing and it keeps you cooler as well. We have so far only bought the umbrellas with the silver surface but next time we will try some in black for the male members of our family.

High Price while Poor Quality
I bought two Titanium Travelers , one Titanium Golf. I gave out two as presents to my friends and keep only one. My firends did gave me positive feedback. But still, to my own experience, I have a lot to complain!
The thumb release broke so quickly! I used the umbrella only once to protect myself from the sunshie (no rain no wind at all!!!!) Then I found I cannot expand nor fold the umbrella. I feel so annoyed.
Then, I try to connect to the local customer service. I thought I can pay some money and get it repaired. However, they refused to repair it! Their reason is that: I didn't buy it at their shop!

Fine UV blocker. Release broke.
My Titanium Travelers were fine. But one broke on the thumb release and can neither expand nor fold. The elevator spring seems too strong and may contribute to breaking. I have thumped my tummy a few times until I learned better compression technique. I really like the shade the umbrella provides. Can this be repaired?

Great concept, low quality
I have had my umbrella for a little over a year and now the handle is stuck. For thr price I'm very disappointed in the quality considering the time I have had it. I found it to be very effective but am hesitant to purchase again because of the handle issue.

Wouldn't leave home without it
1. excellent product that's a lot stronger and more durable when it's windy (to a point!) than cheaper brands
2. efficient processing of order
3. prompt and helpful response to query

Handle has become a sticky mess
I purchased this umbrella several years ago but have used it only a few times, mostly on vacation or when going for walks in the park. Unfortunately, when I took it out of my closet the other day in preparation for my upcoming vacation, I noticed the plastic handle had become a sticky, gooey mess. For such an expensive umbrella, I was highly disappointed that the plastic would disintegrate after only a few years of wear.

Love this Titanium Umbrella
I bought this a few weeks ago. I already have one and have used it daily for years. It is starting to look a little frayed and I do not want to be without this Umbrella. I have Rosacea and this umbrella protects me from both the heat and the rays from the hot Southern California sun.

Coolibar - Silver 42"
I first bought this umbrella a few years ago - 2012 - and it's the longest surviving umbrella I have ever had; it lasted 2 years of daily use (I live in the tropics). Eventually, it became quite tatty but still worked well. I bought a new one, which I eventually lost; I was very upset by that.
In December 2015, I bought another one, and ONLY THIS WEEK (Sept 2016), less than one year on, it broke!!!! I used it during some light showers, then closed it in the usual way after the showers had ceased. When the rain started again some few moments later, I pressed the button to open the umbrella and was shocked when it wouldn't open, as this had never ocurred before! For the past two days now, I have been trying to open up the umbrella, but to no avail! I really love these umbrellas and NEED to use one every day because of the strong sunshine where I live, so I decided today to order a new umbrella however before placing the order, I read some of the reviews only to find that several people have complained about the same thing - a faulty open-close button on the umbrella! This is very disappointing, Coolibar! I don't know if this is a faulty batch of umbrellas or what, but I am very disappointed, as my umbrella is still relatively new, and now it cannot be used. I live in east Africa. Some friends are coming out to visit me in November, so I was going to order 3 umbrellas for us all, and have them mailed to their address in the UK and they were going to bring my new umbrella out to me. But now I see that this is a recurring problem, I am wary about spending money on something that may not last yet again!

my wife loves it
the reason we could not give it 5 stars is that despite it still being in good shape the button to open it fell off and we can't open it. even when we force it open it will not stay open. i tried to buy another one but could only find it in black, the one we have is silver. we like that color better...is there any way to repair the button on the one we have? seems a shame to throw it away.....jim and mary lu

I love them they are great
Titanium umbrellas are wonderful for Houston weather, the only one defect that Coolibar should improve is the handle. The handle is and easy to break.
I've already purchased more than 5 umbrellas and every single one of the handles broke. I fixed one with electric tape to be able to used it and 2 more I tossed them in the trash since I could no longer use it.
