The Travel Umbrella is average November 9, 2009

The Travel Umbrella is average

I got 2 Coolibar UPF 50+ Umbrellas from the Coolibar site for travel in the Sahara desert. They are Skin Cancer Foundation recommended.

Made in China, so the quality, while not exactly evident at first sight, is average. This Travel Umbrella is the smaller one. It works with a button. After using it for about 1 month, everything was wearing down, from the open button, the Travel bag, the UPF silver lining, to the interior spokes, etc.

Also, this Travel Umbrella is worthless in ANY wind. I used it in a little gust and it caved in badly and the cheap interior spokes got bent. I fixed it up but the lifetime seems to be about 1 year if you use it regularly. It's overpriced, but necessary if you walk in the burning sun.

Also, Coolibar has lousy customer service, they didn't answer my emails when I told them about all the "defects" (they sent a Travel bag that came unsewn, The Travel Umbrella open button broke in a week, etc.)

Sun Protection umbrellas in two sized September 23, 2009

We ordered the Coolibar Golf size umbrella for use during exercise walks in the Florida heat; and also ordered the Coolibar travel size to keep in the car, for use when walking from the car to buildings, shopping,etc, and then collapse to carry while shopping. WOW, on the first day, other walkers commented, and stood under the umbrella, and said "I want one; it's 10 degrees cooler under this." So look for more orders. Other reviewers already commented on weight. I'll gladly carry 1 and a half pound Coolibar umbrella to be 10 degrees cooler and to prevent skin-scorch.
