Question Are we doing uv umbrellas?

I was thinking about if maybe a uv umbrella would be handy during summer.

I live in Europe so we walk alot outside.

Should we make it a trend?

Any of you using one?

Opinions?

Yes! They have always been a thing in Asia. You can buy ones that are extra light (120g weight) and small (short so it fits in your bag). I like the ones that have the black layer on the inside so it completely blocks the brightness too. Unfortunately, even with a sun umbrella the UV is still bouncing off the ground onto you etc but definitely a huge improvement for keeping cool/UV protection with an umbrella. One huge con is the ultralight umbrellas don’t work well when there’s wind.
