What Reviewers Say

Noticeably cooler in direct sun — users report feeling several degrees cooler under the parasol. Lightweight and compact enough to carry daily. The dual UV/rain function is practical. Some Western tourists feel self-conscious at first, but in Japan, UV parasols are completely normal for everyone.
