It gets a lot of mileage, and also gets beat up and tossed around. I have had the same umbrella for eight years and it finally broke at the joint where it stays open but I kept it as a back up because it can still be used (I roll a couple rubber bands up the pole to keep it open). It is great quality and durable, and lightweight enough to carry on dog walks.

RT1214: Functions exactly as expected. It was only in the low 80's but because the sun wasn't beating on me, the airflow created while walking made me feel cooler. Takes a little getting used to, though. I'm only 6-0 tall and need to duck down a bit to get under the canopy. Not much of an issue at all. The other, and more important thing to get used to is that the umbrella will pitch back and forth a bit while pushing the cart and on bumpy terrain. This is NOT an issue with the product, rather, a result of physics. Got hit in the face 3 times during the first round using it, all while leaning forward during an uphill push. Finally learned to cant my head left or right during an uphill push or assist the umbrella shaft by grasping it. Got breezy in the afternoon and had to lower the canopy a few times to prevent the cart from moving or the umbrella from taking off. All in all, however, this umbrella is a bargain for less than $40 and does exactly what you expect, that is, keep the sun off of your body. I look forward to being cooler this summer while golfing. Lastly, I purchased the 68" umbrella which is actually 58" in diameter. The 68" measurement takes in...

memetime: I bought this umbrella for protection from the sun at all our grandkids sporting events. It has been beyond anything I could have expected in that regard. It is large and the material deflects the sun and keeps you cool. I also found out right away how sturdy it would be in a severe rain storm. My granddaughter and I recently got caught in a summer rain storm at the US Air Force Academy soccer fields in Colo Springs. If you know those fields you know the weather comes over the foothill mountains there and really can be severe. The umbrella was amazing. The wind was whipping around and the umbrella held up, never faltered and got us safely to the car. The wind tried to bend it but the layers of material kept it in place. I saw many umbrellas flipping inside out and breaking with canopy covers flying across the fields. I love this umbrella so much I think I will purchase another one to have as a spare.

diane: I did a test and it keeps the temperature cooler than my regular golf umbrella. It's also bigger so there is more shade. Have not had to use it in rainy, windy weather so I can't make any remarks on those conditions.

El paraguas lo compramos porque se menciona que es para dos personas. Pero la verdad si es muy grande, podría decir que es para dos personas robustas.
La estructura se ve muy bien, solida al igual que la tela, parece que soy varias capas y gruesas.
Nosotros lo devolvimos por el tamaño, que era excesivo, podían estar 3 personas en el sin problema.
Pero nos gustó su calidad que compramos el mismo modelo pero más pequeño.
En general recomendable

Antonio Razo: Me encanto este producto! es algo pesada para que lo tomen en cuenta, sin problemas caben 2 personas adultas de complexion grande y una distancia comoda de la otra, sin verse en la necesidad de estar muy juntos por que la paraguas esta muy pequeña donde todas las piernas terminan mojadas caben 3 personas tambien pero tenagan en cuenta que si tendran que estar algo juntos pero aun asi vale la pena, si vas solo se te hara algo grande, pero llegas completamente seco no te mojas para nada las pantorrilas, no la he probado bajo el sol por que no he tenido la necesidad, pero bajo la lluvia es excelente!

Aquayoga: Works well as an all round umbrella for beach or cold rain. It could be improved with an automatic open button as it is a bit cumbersome to open and it could be engineered to catch better at the top as it can suddenly collapse too when you least expect it. Over all, good buy. Nice quality and comes with a cover sheath. It would be nice if the sheath had a carrying over the shoulder strap on it too but it does not.

Just used the Proactive SunTek Windcheater umbrella today - great protection from the sun. This umbrella is big! It is also well built. The shaft is fiberglass, the ribs(double) are also fiberglass - seems pretty sturdy. (Was using an umbrella with metal shaft/metal double ribs (thin gauge) - flimsy - wind inverts it and the ribs gets dislodged from the end caps!!!!) Wasn't too windy today - so cannot say how the Windcheater will perform on gusty days. There's a small plastic cup above the handle (other umbrellas have this) to "contain" the end-caps of the umbrella ribs, when the umbrella is folded - first time I've seen this plastic cup implemented with a spring (between the cup and the handle). After you fold the umbrella, pull down the cup till all the end caps are within the cup, let go and the cup springs back up. (Minor feature - yes - but it's the little things that's appreciated.) The fabric is thick - similar to Gustbuster. Overall this looks like a well-made umbrella - we'll see how it holds up when the wind picks up.
06/22/13 update: Ok so I've been using the Proactive Suntek Windcheater umbrella for over a month - and yes it's big(not a...

James Sheppard: My son plays junior golf and has a Rovic Jr. golf push cart. In the Texas heat, the sun can be a big factor in golf. This umbrella is fantastic and easily connects into our Rovic umbrella holder. There is plenty of sun coverage. As the other reviews mention, it is a short(er) umbrella and is ideal for my son (about 4.5 feet) but not sure if it would be good for me (6 feet).
