True story about my Sport Brella. A few weeks ago, Mike and I packed up the car with a huge cooler, beach chairs, towels, cameras, ourselves, and of course–Lucas. We then drove 10-15 minutes over to my parent’s house to pick up my two nieces. We were headed to the lake. Or, the beach…at the lake. After driving another 10 minutes–away from our house–towards the lake; we realized that we forgot something important. The Sport-Brella. Funny name for something you don’t want to leave home without when you’re planning on lounging on a beach in 100 degree Georgia weather! So, what did we do? Turned back around and headed back home to pick it up.
What is a Sport-Brella?
You know how a beach umbrella is not really stable–they tend to fly off with the ocean breeze. And, those sun tents–they work great, but they are huge and heavy and a pain to lug around. Well, the Sport-Brella is basically the opposite. It is basically an umbrella that combines the best features from a beach umbrella and a weather or sun tent.
The Sport-Brella opens just like an umbrella. It is compact just like an umbrella. However, once open–the Sport-Brella has side flaps that you stake down to the ground. What you have is basically a sun tent like structure, which provides the best in both sun and weather protection.
Sport Brella Size
The Sport-Brella comes in two sizes–the original {8 feet wide} and the larger XL {9 feet wide}. Both sizes have a UPF 50+ sun protection rating, side flaps, wind vents, and take seconds to set up. Literally seconds.
I know Summer is winding down and naturally so will trips to the beach and pool. However, sun protection is important year round. Plus, this is perfect for sporting events. Just keep the Sport-Brella in the car and take it out whenever you need protection from the rain or the sun!
