Developed by a melanoma survivor, this umbrella was developed with the highest of standards. Our new fashion ultraviolet umbrellas provide UV protection from 99.98% of all UVA and UVB rays leaving your cooler, protected and looking great!  The ribs and stretchers are constructed from carbon fiber and durable plastic parts, providing a firm foundation against strong winds and heavy usage.  The larger 48" size provides premium sun protection.

Compared to competitor's similar UPF 50+ umbrellas, this umbrella clearly blocks more of the sunlight (see picture - our umbrella is on the right and another UPF50+ umbrella is on the left), keeping you cooler and better protected.  UPF 50+ protection tested and verified by a third party company.

If you're looking for something a little lighter and smaller, check out our 38" fashion umbrella.
