Coolibar is a professional sunscreen brand from the United States, the brand is a leader in the field of sunscreen fabrics, has made a lot of achievements in sunscreen clothing and sunscreen accessories, and they are also the first sunscreen clothing company in history to receive the Skin Cancer Foundation's Seal of Recommendation. When it comes to parasols, Coolibar offers consumers a limited but reliable option to fight UV rays professionally.
 
The core performance of a parasol is ultraviolet (UV) resistance, which comes from the fabric of the umbrella. Coolibar's anti-UV treatment mechanism is different from the common parasols on the market, which is to incorporate nano-titanium dioxide into the fabric of the umbrella cloth, and use the optical properties of this inorganic nanomaterial to reflect and scatter the sun's ultraviolet rays to achieve the anti-UV effect of the umbrella, which is rarely used in commercially available parasols.
 
The inorganic anti-ultraviolet additives represented by nano titanium dioxide can give the grey cloth excellent anti-ultraviolet performance after a certain process: all models of Coolibar parasols achieve the highest nominal UPF (ultraviolet protection index) of 50, and the actual value far exceeds this standard; Compared with the more common organic anti-ultraviolet agents on the market, the attenuation rate of its anti-UV performance is greatly reduced, and even after long-term use, it can still maintain the slow decay or almost no attenuation of UV resistance, and has a better color fixing effect on fabrics.
 
Coolibar's parasol is not much modified in appearance, with a solid color umbrella surface, no pattern inside and outside, and the shape is simple and neat. Obviously, the Coolibar is not suitable for use as a fashion accessory, it is more suitable for consumers who are looking for functionality. Coolibar's parasols are available in four variants: touring, lightweight, fashionable and golf, with the main difference being the size and opening and closing.
 
Among them, the touring model is a hot seller due to its modest folding size and complete functional design. The parasol comes in four colors: blue, pink, silver, and black, and the four colors have slight differences in design, but they all share the following characteristics: first, the umbrella base cloth is a high-density PG cloth treated with water repellent, which can be used for both weather and rain without affecting the sun protection performance; Second, the umbrella surface is a patented double canopy design, and there is a mesh compartment between the two layers of umbrella cloth, which can achieve good ventilation and stability of the umbrella. Third, the umbrella bone is corrosion-resistant fiberglass, and the umbrella bone joint has a foldable buckle design, which can be actively overturned in the wind, and the umbrella surface can be restored with a headwind, so as to avoid damage to the rigid stress of the umbrella bone. The travel parasol is designed to open and close automatically, and it takes a lot of force to compress the parachute rod when the umbrella is closed, which may cause a certain degree of distress if the user does not have a strong hand.
 
Among the four colors of the travel model, the silver model is the most classic, with the outer silver coating reflecting ultraviolet rays, and the inner dark green PG fabric absorbing the ultraviolet rays reflected from the ground to maximize the protection effect of actual use. It should be noted that the silver coating is prone to slight wear and dirt at the joints of the umbrella bones, but the core of Coolibar's UV resistance is nano titanium dioxide rather than the umbrella coating, and this wear does not significantly reduce its actual protective power, and the same is true for other color styles. The black model is pure PG cloth and is not coated, so it has the lightest weight, but the significant disadvantage is that it transmits light, and the shading and cooling ability is not as good as the other three coated umbrellas; Pink and blue are the inner coating, the solid color PG cloth is on the outside, and the inside of the umbrella is a silver-gray coating, and the inner coating is also prone to slight wear. The price of these four travel umbrellas is 299 yuan.
 
Coolibar's parasols are generally heavier, and the lightest black version of the travel umbrella is also 370g, and the blue and pink colors are both 450g, which is nearly a catty, which is not light as a folded umbrella. The same is the lightweight version of the folded umbrella, which is the castrated version of the travel model, the umbrella surface is reduced by one circle, and there is no windproof design of the two-layer umbrella surface, in exchange for lighter weight, the net weight is about 300g, and the price is 288 yuan.
 
In addition, it should be noted that although Coolibar's umbrella can theoretically be used for both rain or shine, the water-repellent and wind-resistant design are auxiliary functions, and the double-layer umbrella surface makes it easy to leak and seep water under heavy wind and rain conditions, and it is difficult to avoid rainwater return when the umbrella is closed, so we only recommend using Coolibar's parasol for emergency situations in light and light rain, and avoid using it in bad weather.
 
The fashion model and the golf model are straight bar umbrellas, the umbrella surface is large, the umbrella body is long, the quality is also heavy, and the automatic opening and closing is changed to manual opening and closing, and the other performance characteristics are basically the same as the travel version, the price of the fashion model is 358 yuan, and the price of the golf model is 380 yuan. Compared with the folded umbrella, the straight wing has an inherent advantage in structural strength, and the wind resistance is stronger, and the golf model can nominally resist strong winds of 35mph (wind speed 7), which will be more confident when dealing with wind and rain weather. Coolibar has brand direct sales and authorized distribution channels on domestic e-commerce platforms, and lightweight, travel and fashion models can be purchased directly on domestic e-commerce platforms.
