Review on Compact UV Blocking Umbrella with Superior Sun Protection by Kim Palmer

The first one was sent broken. After trying another brand and noting that their dome still lets in a lot of light, I decided to try another. So I ordered it again and was happy to find a medium size, slightly larger (I don't notice a size difference when I use it) but without the compact crease. I was hoping that a simpler locking mechanism would wear better. So I bought two of these, a small compact and a medium. (They also make a golf umbrella which I haven't tried). I've been using both for a few months now, basically I use the medium almost every day and it's holding up well and is great. Love having it with a history of skin cancer and being in Arizona, I need it for walking my dog or just going out into the yard and doing chores during the day. Sometimes I use the compact one, the size is good if you travel and I haven't had any problems (or I've used a lot, but I use here and there). I'm glad I gave it another try and the original that I received with a defect was returned easily and free of charge. So you have nothing to lose by trying. It was really cool to have one of them.
