Sport-Brella Umbrella - Portable Sun and Weather Shelter

Product Information

The regular size reaches a span of 40 by 42 inches and the larger option is 44 by 44 inches. Both of these sizes are ideal for one person and also are manual opening. Both beach umbrellas and beach tents provide shade, so what’s the difference? Well, beach umbrellas are upright or semi-upright (in the case of the Sport-brella) canopies supported by (most commonly) an aluminum and plexiglass frame.

LIGHTWEIGHT AND EASY TO TRANSPORT - Weighing only 1.8 lbs., it is lightweight and it conveniently folds into a compact carrying case, so you can have instant shade anywhere. Super important in windy conditions, ventilation assists with letting air flow through your umbrella and also helps keep you cool. Manual v Push Button Opening Now this one does not assist with windy conditions but it important for protecting you from the sun. UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. This number gives you a tool on measuring how much ultraviolet rays may reach your skin and cause sun damage. To test the ease of use, we set up and took down each tent multiple times and found the average setup time. We discluded the first setup, as this was a practice round to get familiar with each tent.

Being able to have a drink right at your fingertips is one of the most important considerations when looking for a beach chair. It’s a huge bonus to have it refreshingly cold even after several hours of sitting by the beach. No need to think you can’t have some fun while protecting yourself from the sun. Umbrellas come in all different colors and patterns. With all its features and accessories, the Sport-Brella Recliner Chair is relatively heavier than most portable beach chairs. It is about twice as heavy as typical beach chairs in the market today, so you might have a hard time carrying it. The majority of umbrellas are made with fiberglass ribs, an aluminum pole, polyester canopy, and a handful of plastic pieces. The EasyGo and Tommy Bahama umbrellas are no exception. Though the Tommy Bahama does have the superior built-in sand anchor, the EasyGo felt sturdier overall when testing. The Sport-brella had steel ribs instead of fiberglass ribs, contributing to how sturdy it felt. Since chair and towel capacity didn’t vary much between tents, what it came down to was the number of people each could hold. The Genji Sports tent fit two to three people, the Pacific Breeze and Lightspeed fit three to four people and the Coleman fit four to five.

If you’re after a small personal option the weight probably won’t play too much of a part in your search.
