Product Description
A beach umbrella, sun tent and more! On the sidelines or at the beach, the SKLZ® Sport-Brella gives you instant portable protection from the sun, rain, and wind with UPF 50+ protection. It sets up in just three seconds and opens up to 7' wide, fitting the family or the whole team.

The Sport-Brella offers full sun and rain protection for families, teams, and other groups. | A beach umbrella, sun tent, rain shelter, and more all in one, the SKLZ Sport-Brella gives you instant portable protection from the elements regardless of your activity. The Sport-Brella looks somewhat like a traditional beach shelter/umbrella, with a large canopy that shields an entire family or team while they lounge on the beach or hang out on the soccer sidelines. The similarities end there, however, as the Sport-Brella sets up in just three seconds. As a result, you don't have to deal with finicky stakes or willowy tarps should a rainstorm roll in without notice. Just pop open the umbrella and you're set. Once open, the Sport-Brella offers full cover protection, as the rugged umbrella structure includes side flaps that fold down to protect you from sideways rain and wind gusts. The umbrella is also sun-safe, with a UPF 50+ coating that protects users from more than 99.5 percent of UVA and UVB rays. And to keep you cool on sunny days, the Sport-Brella offers top wind vents and side zippered windows for cross-ventilation. The Sport-Brella--which also offers internal pockets for stakes, valuables, and gear--measures 8 feet wide when open and 54 by 4 by 4 inches (W x H x D) when folded. The unit comes with a convenient carrying bag plus tethers and ground stakes for extra stability. About SKLZ

 Great beach umbrella December 28, 2009
D. McCalllum (Southern, CA)

We go to a beach where it can become quite windy, and this umbrella is perfect. Once the sides are staked down, it's a great wind block as well as sun shade. The only thing I would correct is that the pointed part of the pole (the pole is in two pieces) is stored inside the shaft and it's hard to see since it's all black. We were convinced that it was missing until we saw the small sticker on the shaft saying that the bottom part of the pole was tucked up inside. The same thing happened to friends of ours that bought the same umbrella. They might want to make a bigger sticker! Other than that, we love it!
Must Have for Soccer Moms October 17, 2009

I have used this at soccer games in rainy Seattle and every time I set it up, people come from all over the fields to ask me about it. I swear I could set up shop and sell them out of my car. One man said, "I have umbrella envy."
The side flaps keep me dry from the wind-blown rain we often get in the Fall around here. The stakes keep it from blowing away. And, the compact size of the carrying case makes it easy to lug from the car with my fold-up chair. I don't mind rainy soccer days anymore because I know I'm not going to have to sit in wet misery for an hour.
You can buy it for less at Costco June 20, 2010

These are wonderful umbrellas, we use it for the beach, Little League games, etc.
I did just buy the same one, however, at Costco for $39.99 a few days ago!

We'd gotten the version without the windows last summer, which had a plastic stand and plastic screw handle to keep the umbrella up. Upon first use the plastic screw handle broke, which obviously meant that the umbrella wouldn't stay open.
BUT, although we returned that one, we decided to give it another shot this summer, since it was such a great idea and worked so well otherwise... we were *so happy* when we received it to find that the plastic had been replaced with metal!!! I don't know if this is only on the "deluxe" model with the windows, but this thing is fantastic and perfect now... really stays put even in the sand at a windy beach, and we love it!
The windows are nice too, because you can keep them closed, or zip them open for a breeze. BEST umbrella ever!
excellent beach gear. August 17, 2009

This umbrella is not the biggest you can get, but after carrying it I wouldn't recommend getting anything bigger. easy to carry and store. sets up in a minute. If you can open an umbrella, you are ready to go. we watched other umbrellas get blown over in the wind, ours stayed tied down. definitely increases the amount of time you will enjoy the beach when you have a little shade to sit in.
