Versa-Brella UPF 50+ Personal Sun Shade - Portable Umbrella for Sports & Outdoors - Secure Clamp, 360-Degree Swivel Adjustable Position for Maximum Sun Protection - Compact with Carry Case

I bought this to add to my low beach chair for when I sit with my toes in the water while on Lake Huron (in Michigan) in August. I loved the multiple points of adjustment to get the maximum angle of coverage. The asymmetry of the umbrella itself allows you to still have an unobstructed view while sitting & watching something (which may or may not be best for other people who used it on strollers, wheelchairs or kid wagons & needed more overall coverage) but for me it’s perfect-I think the adjustment capability would have made it able to work for those needs if I had purchased it for that. I feel like the sun protection from the umbrella itself overhead is good but of course will not do anything to protect from the sun reflection on the sand (so I still was wearing sunscreen)The plastic clamp was easily adjustable, it seems reasonably durable but is at risk of being too tightly clamped & may crack at some point simply b/c the plastic isn’t the highest grade but with reasonable care & being careful not to aggressively over tighten it, it should last. The traveling case with the shoulder loop makes for easy carrying. Over all it’s a good fit for my needs & if you need portable shade option on an inexpensive traveling fold up chair this works great.

Great addition to our portable GCI rockers -- easy to attach and manipulate. I'm glad that we have these when the sun is blazing down. Fold up nicely, and I can simply slide them into the portable chair case as well, so I just keep it altogether. It's a weird triangular shape which I guess can be helpful if you are on a tight sideline and don't want a giant round umbrella, but sometimes I think a simply round design would be better, than way you have consistent shade no matter how it's rotated. The arm has 3 pivot points so you can angle it to best suit your shade needs. Overall I'm very happy with this (we got 2 of them). This is one of those purchases where I didn't realize how nice it would be until I had it!

I bought this sport umbrella when a freak heat wave hit the San Francisco Bay Area. Temps at the SF 49ers game were forecast in the high 90's and my seat is directly in the sun at a place that is notorious for "no shade." The actual temperature in San Jose that day hit 103-degrees. The Versa-Brella worked beautifully under those extreme conditions. It provided wide, outstanding UV-protective, welcoming cool shade and, along with hydrating (of course!), I got through the 5-hour ordeal (pregame tailgate and post-game egress included) surprisingly well! My seatmate told me "That umbrella saved your ___!" It is easily adjustable to account for the day's changing angles of the sun. There is a caveat, however, which cost it a star in my opinion. Wind. While the clamp is sturdy and held the umbrella firmly in its spot, moderate winds that came late in the day caused the umbrella to easily tilt away stressing the flimsy joints that make the umbrella so versatile. There is a lot of play in the joint clips and I did not want to test how much toque they could take before they snapped, so I (wisely?) put a hand on the stem to keep it from snapping back and forth. In light winds the umbrella performed without that concern. Personally, I would not test the umbrella's sturdiness in moderate to brisk or steady winds for fear of damage to the product. But for UV-protected shade on a hot day, it met the test and more. Imagine my surprise when we noticed that people all around us had the same umbrella! That is an endorsement, of sorts. Stay cool!

I work outside and I’m exposed to the sun a lot, so I wanted to get something to protect my face and upper body. This umbrella shades 80-90% of me and it is very easy to attach. It is very sturdy (I accidentally drove it into tree branches before and it fell off but was not broken) to give an example. Super helpful!

I started with the smaller version of the Sport-Brella a few years ago, and it served me well for quick trips to the park or a casual beach day. But recently, I decided to upgrade to the larger size, and wow, I didn’t realize how much I needed that extra shade until now.1. PERFECT FOR THE PALE CREW:As someone who practically lives in sunscreen (yes, I’m the person who looks like Casper the Friendly Ghost on the beach), having reliable, portable shade is non-negotiable. This bigger version gives me more coverage, which means I don’t have to keep moving around to stay in the shade—it’s a total game-changer for sunny days.2. PORTABILITY THAT MAKES SENSE:Even with the bigger size, it’s still easy to fold up and carry. It doesn’t take up a lot of space, and the universal clamp makes it super versatile. I’ve attached it to chairs, coolers, and even my patio railing for extra shade.3. SMALL QUIRKS, BIG BENEFITS:Let’s be real—no product is perfect. The larger size means it’s a bit more wobbly in the wind, and if sand or moisture gets into the rotating mechanism, it can get stuck (pro tip: shake it off and dry it out after a beach day). But honestly, those little hiccups don’t outweigh how much this thing improves my outdoor experiences.4. A SHADE WORTH SHARING:I’ve even lent it to friends at outdoor events, and they always ask where to get one. It’s one of those products that makes you feel a little more prepared and comfortable when you’re outside for hours.FINAL THOUGHTS:Upgrading to the bigger Sport-Brella Versa-Brella has been such a win for me. More shade, more comfort, and still super easy to use. Whether you’re at the beach, camping, or just chilling in your backyard, this is the portable shade you didn’t know you needed—until you try it!

The quality on this umbrella is great. Use it for when I work on cars under the sun. Holds up well against the wind and its easy to open and grab on to something. Wasn’t expecting much but it’s very sturdy
