My Solar/Rain Umbrella

Art's cousin, Renee had a surprise gift for me.  She knew about my hunt for an umbrella that would protect against both sun and rain.  When I've used my regular umbrella to Zumba class and the sun was too strong, I could still feel the heat seeping through the fabric as I walked home.



Isn't this amazing?

The fabric is similar to what they use on auto windshield sunshades.

It's very compact and will be great when we travel too.

I'm so excited!

    Wonderful! I hope you didn't need to use it much, though! :-)

    We all should use sun umbrellas more. My grandmother always did and when she passed at 93, her face had not the first wrinkle.

    does look like it will block most of the sun and the UV light.

    What a great gift. I am going on a search for this one. I have been needing to replace my old one.

    I would attach that umbrella to my riding lawn mower for protection.

    Yes, we took one, and I was so heat struck that it was never used. You could find me inside the air conditioned busses at every stop.
