G4Free Huge Golf Umbrella UV Protection Auto Open Windproof Umbrella Oversized Extra Large Vented Double Canopy for Family

I use this primarily to keep the sun off me during golf, and second for rain during golf. This is my third golf umbrella. The first was black; it helped a bit, but I never realized how little until it developed water leaks in its old age. The second was a silver Sun Mountain umbrella; the reflective coating kept me considerably cooler. But it broke in less than a year. This umbrella seems less breakable; it's also bigger in diameter, which gives noticeably more sun and rain protection. I used all three in the umbrella stand of my ClicGear 3-wheel cart. This one seems to seat more securely in the holder, but that's an impression with little evidence to back it up. My major concern is the umbrella's value as a sail. In a strong wind, the extra size and the flatter shape of this umbrella catches the wind and might overpower the cart. Hasn't happened to mine -- yet -- but I have powered wheels with provide a much more stable base than a stock ClicGear cart. I have watched the carts of two friends who also have this same umbrella get capsized in a gust. This seems to be a necessary evil of the additional size that makes this umbrella more effective in sun and rain. BTW, it still doesn't beat staying in the shade of trees, if keeping cool is the objective. But it is better -- a lot better -- than being in the sun without it, and substantially better than other golf umbrella I have used.

Great umbrellas for travel baseball. Definitely reflect the suns rays and cooler underneath.

I’ve had 3 Titleist umbrellas for my golf cart.longer shaft than standard and larger canopy. I believe now they are around $65.00 plus. I like this one better. Reflective top, 72” overall canopy. I highly recommend this one.

a little heavy to hold in one hand and fabric seams to easily tear when it gets caught on trees, fences or construction polls

***Updated Review**** I learned a long time ago that "Sometimes things go wrong, but it is how we deal with it that is important." This has always been important to me and apparently that it is also important to G4Free. After writing the below review, I was contacted by G4free. They wanted to understand the issue with the broken handle. After sending pictures of the umbrella and the holder (a tall cup, pretty standard for all push carts) they offered to send me a replacement umbrella. I received the new one in about a week. While I feel I still need to be careful of the umbrella not being blown around in the wind (the handle still feels easy to break), I am at least happy that they addressed my issue. I have hopes that they will make a more solid handle in the future (maybe wrapped in solid rubber?). Even though that will make it even heavier. They did not ask me to update my review, but I think it is fair that I should acknowledge the excellent initiative and customer service. **original review** First, this umbrella is rather heavy. When someone said that in a review, I discounted it. But is important if you are clamping it on your golf cart. I have clickgear model 8 golf cart and this umbrella fits well. However, the umbrella is so heavy that the entire cart tips backwards even with all the weight of the clubs holding it down. I added extra golf balls to try to balance it better. Even then on hills it was a challenge for it not to tip. But more importantly, the second time I used this umbrella (to create shade since I live in SoCal), a small gust of wind grabbed the umbrella and it snapped the handle off! It was a really small gust and the supposed "windproof" umbrella snapped! Sadly for me, this was just after the return period. Since it broke inside the rubber handle, I was hopping that I could still use it, nope. I tried today and the rubber foam handle also gave up the ghost. I will have to figure out a way to clamp it on, if I want to use it now (since I am out the $44). Normally I would give something like this only 1 star, but I really do like the size of this umbrella and really had high hopes. But breaking after only two uses and in the mild SoCal weather, I think people in worse weather should be aware. So 2 stars for the size.

I’ve had a lot of golf umbrellas in my days. This one, however, tops all of the others combined. Not only do you get the UV protection. You can invite other golfers to come and join you during the round under your umbrella. 72 inches is a lot of umbrella. It fits perfectly in the umbrella holder on my grandsons. Three wheel golf cart. His first comment when we opened it up was an astounding “wow“. Buy one when you get the chance you will not be disappointed.

Loved the umbrella but after I used it in the first big rain most of the seams leaked. The dripping started shatter about 20 minutes in the rain. Disappointed.

This is exactly what I was looking for it’s a different material than your typical umbrella material (which is really thin) and I was pleasantly surprised that when it came it is very thick material blocks the sun amazing it really makes a world of a difference went outside and Southern California heat under the sun and put that over my head and it was like being under a tree shade!!!!! For all the people who say it smells weird or smells like fish I could care less if it smells like dog booty if it gives me what I need which is shade and to not die of heat stroke ….so pick your battles honestly I think it’s just the material that it’s made out of that makes it smell odd but it works 100% and doesn’t take long to air out the initial smell.

Utiliser 2ans sous la pluie ,le soleil et la neige . Je l’adore !

Realmente enorme, incluso demasiado para que los quería. Tuve que hacer una devolución.

Originally written in 2021, I want to add an update because it is still in as good condition now as it was then. Admittedly it doesn't get a huge amount of use, living in England, but when it does, it has to cope with me sitting in a garden high up above the beach, facing the sea with the brolly behind me. When the wind comes in off the sea it can reach almost gale force on occasions, but and as long as I sit on the chair it puts up with all that comes at it. I do have a massive galvanised steel clamp to hold it to my equally tough chair, but in high wind it needs it. If I were to get up, the brolly, clamp and chair would fly over the bungalow roof behind me – in fact, if I left an average 3-4 yr old in it the wind would take the brolly, clamp, chair and child* too! It has never turn inside out, the spokes are still all in place (I had to put a couple of stitches on one of the ends holding the fabric to the spoke, but that is hardly a problem as it hadn't crack, the stitching one one came loose). It really was a good find. * I wouldn't ever do that of course, even if I had a child to leave there. Original review: I have a serious sun allergy and bought this for a recent holiday – I’m 5’8” and was entirely covered by the shade from this huge brolly. I used an old metal clamp and clamped it onto my sun lounger and despite a significant wind coming onto the garden it stayed up, didn’t bend, snap or tear and provided full body shade (and I’m certainly not anyone’s definition of slim). I found that there was a significantly lower temperature when under its protection and I will not go out in the sun without it now.

paraguas demasiado grande para una endeble empuñadura , a la minima se rompe

This thing is huge. You want to cover you and a friend, this will do it. Want to make sure all your golf clubs are covered, this will do it. Seems to be quite sturdy material as well. My only concern is holding up in the wind. It might be too big and want to take you away to the land of OZ.
