haven't had to use it for a bad rainstorm, however have used it as a shade in the 100 degree heat in houston - it definitely is cooler under the umbrella.
Stops those photons July 30, 2007

I ordered this umbrella with free shipping last week and it arrived by US Mail just three days later, delivered intact in a reasonably stout triangle tube box. Seems substantial and well built with a firm rubber grip and a few plastic parts. Exterior is a very reflective silver coated fabric and the underside (not apparent in the Amazon site product photos) is black. Appears to be the same Gustbuster umbrella sold as the UV blocker. Literature that came with this umbrella claims it cuts out 95% of UV light. My copy is about 50 inches at its widest point to point diameter--not as advertised, but entirely adequate for rain or hot sun. Ought to last a very long time if well cared for. It opens and closes easily in a sort of robust fashion and is easily secured with its attached velcro straps and the separate black fabric sheath.
It has been a very hot July in SW Montana this year--just above or below 100 degrees every day. The daily walk of several miles along county roads to the post offce was becoming a physical ordeal--the return leg in the hot sun leaving me simply sapped. As a matter of physics, a reflective umbrella seemed like a good idea after experimenting with my old oversize rain umbrella. More than the hot air and heat reflecting up from the ground, it is the direct solar imput falling on head and all that threatens to reduce one to a grease spot when out wandering too long in savagely hot days. Reflecting most of those maddening photons back into space to deliver their energy elswhere seemed a remarkably simple and useful solution.
Well, this Gustbuster silver umbrella works great, as if carrying your own efficient little shade tree and blocking all the heating rays regardless the intensity of the sun. All in all, I'm very satisfied with this umbrella, both as a rain and sun shield. Does unsettle the horses along the way.
 58" is really 52" diameter. July 29, 2007

Just got this to replace my 48" golf umbrella. I thought 58 inches, 10 more inches, would be about right to cover me and my push cart. But this measures 52 inches in diameter. Giving a measurement for an umbrealla that is anything but how wide it covers (diameter) is silly.
Appears sturdy and well made. Will report significant "sunblok" performance once it stops raining here in Texas.
New - I can now say that this really stops the heat from the sun - well worth it!
Excellent quality product June 8, 2007

I was pleasantly surprised when I received this item. I was looking for a replacement umbrella for one which got mashed from heavy winds.
The GustBuster is excellent quality, easy to put up and take down. Nice light frame and matching sleeve. I have only had one chance to use it so far in the rain - and guess what? it works!
Being in Florida, the added advantage was the sunblock feature. Definately something which I need.
Great Golf Umbrella June 7, 2007

This umbrella really makes a difference on a hot day on the golf course - it makes it feel at least 10 degrees cooler - very sturdy, even in 20 mph winds, it kept its shape. For an avid golfer it's wonderful!
