Très bien et de très bonne qualité !
un peu lourd mais c'est normal avec autant de baleines. Très bonne qualité je ne suis pas déçu. Merci.
je le trouve vraiment magnifique merci je recommande
Je l'adore!
Super !
Il est un peu difficile à ouvrir complètement les premières fois, et à le remettre dans la housse, mais il est vraiment aussi petit que promis lorsqu'il est replié sans compromettre sa taille une fois ouvert. Le matériau du parapluie est bon, mais la tige semble un peu fragile.
Bien...
Je croyais qu'il s'ouvrait et se fermait automatiquement, mais en fait il se ferme manuellement. J'avais mal lu la description.
assez lourd c'est bien, les baleines sont beaucoup courbées donc ça couvre pas une très grande surface. Mais ça correspond à la photo
c’est pas mal, il a vraiment beaucoup de baleines j'aime beaucoup
Pas encore reçu, je suis pressé
bien
Le parapluie est solide et vraiment bien, il protège bien contre la pluie et les grosses rafales de vent, donc c’est top. Par contre, il est un peu plus lourd qu’un parapluie classique.
Comme sur les photos, il y a moins de baleines et le tissu est assez fin.
ça vaut le prix
il est assez lourd quand meme mais visuellement il a l’air solide. je testerai quand il pleuvra, pour l’instant ça a l’air bien 👍
Le produit est pas mal, ça fait bien le job. J’aime bien, franchement.
Clairement assez lourd. Le parapluie du patron, style chauffeur ou garde du corps 😂
plutôt léger, la longueur est nickel donc c’est sympa. par contre c’est pas vraiment fait pour servir de parasol (logique c'est un parapluie). je l’ai pas encore utilisé donc je sais pas encore si ça protège bien de la pluie. la poignée fait un peu de bruit, mais elle se détache pas.
good
Frequently asked questions
What is a UV protection umbrella?
A UV protection umbrella uses a canopy with characteristics intended to limit the transmission of ultraviolet radiation. Actual performance depends on the textile, its construction and any specific treatments or coatings.
What does UPF mean for an umbrella?
UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. It describes how effectively a textile limits ultraviolet radiation transmission under defined testing conditions. Where available, refer to the rating specifically documented for the individual product.
Does a UV umbrella replace sunscreen?
No. An umbrella can reduce direct exposure in the area it covers, but diffuse and reflected UV radiation can still reach the skin. It should therefore be considered an additional protective measure rather than a universal replacement for other sun protection.
Does umbrella colour determine UV protection?
Colour can influence some optical properties of a fabric, but colour alone does not establish its UV protection level. A tested textile performance or documented UPF rating provides more useful information than judging protection solely by colour.
Can a UV protection umbrella be used in the rain?
Only if the individual model is also designed for rain. A UV protection characteristic concerns the textile's sun-protection performance and does not by itself establish that the canopy is intended for regular rain use.
How do I choose a good UV protection umbrella?
First check the documented canopy characteristics and any UPF rating specified for the model. Then compare canopy span, weight and closed dimensions to find a suitable balance between shade coverage and portability.
UV protection umbrellas for portable shade
A UV protection umbrella is not necessarily intended only for rain. Certain designs use canopy materials or treatments intended to reduce the transmission of ultraviolet radiation while providing portable shade in sunny conditions.
This can make a sun umbrella useful for walking, city travel, holidays and other situations where you want additional shade while outdoors.
How does a UV protection umbrella work?
UV performance depends on the characteristics of the canopy, including material, fabric density, construction and any specific coating or treatment. Different umbrellas can therefore provide different levels of ultraviolet protection.
Where tested information is supplied, textile performance may be expressed using a UPF rating. Check the individual product specifications for the protection level actually documented for a particular model.
What does UPF mean on an umbrella?
UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. It is a rating used to describe how effectively a textile limits ultraviolet radiation transmission under defined testing conditions.
The same UPF rating should not be assumed for every UV umbrella. Where a verified rating is available for a product, refer to that model's specifications.
UV umbrella or regular umbrella?
A conventional umbrella naturally creates shade by blocking some direct sunlight, but this alone does not establish a specific UV protection performance. An umbrella marketed specifically for sun protection should have suitable documented material characteristics.
If your main requirement is rain protection in a portable format, explore our compact umbrellas. For holidays and trips, our travel umbrellas may also be useful.
Does a UV umbrella provide complete sun protection?
An umbrella primarily shields the area beneath its canopy from direct radiation. Ultraviolet radiation can still reach the skin indirectly through diffuse light and reflections from surrounding surfaces.
A UV umbrella should therefore be considered one element of sun protection rather than a guarantee of zero exposure. Depending on conditions, protective clothing, sunglasses, a hat and appropriate sunscreen may still be needed.
Can a UV protection umbrella be used in the rain?
That depends on the individual model. UV protection does not by itself establish that a canopy is intended for regular rain use. Some umbrellas may be designed for both sun and rain, while others focus primarily on sun protection.
Always check the product specifications. If you expect to carry the umbrella throughout a holiday or long day outdoors, you may also want to compare its weight with our lightweight umbrellas.
How to choose a UV protection umbrella
Start by checking the documented canopy information and any stated UPF rating. Then consider open canopy span, since a larger canopy can provide a larger area of shade, as well as weight and closed dimensions if you plan to carry the umbrella for extended periods.
A good sun protection umbrella should suit the way you intend to use it, combining documented textile performance, useful coverage, portability and comfortable handling.
