Title: Totally worth the money
Review: I rarely buy into the new "fad", expensive name brand, hyped up item. However, me and my equally pale husband went to Miami Beach in JULY! We were sure to be miserable but any day at the beach is a great day! We have tried all the failed sun shades over the years as we both burn very easily and hate being miserably hot. But I went ahead and bought this expensive shade and hoped for the best. It was fantastic! So easy to use, worked perfectly with a light breeze and we were very comfortable in the high 80s temp. We were able to hang out for hours without feeling like we would burst into flames! While these are very popular is NC/SC, they have not made their way to FL as much. We had LOCAL MIAMI FOLKS stop and ask us all about it! Now I know why they include business cards in the purchase! (They should give a kick back for advertising for them!) And when it was time to leave, super easy to pack up. No need to leave out to dry or shake off etc, all the problems from umbrellas in the past. We spent several fantastic days on the beach and did NOT burn or burst into flames from the heat! We still used sunscreen, of course, but we were so very comfortable! I bet the temp was several degrees cooler under our awesome shade! And I love the story of it's birth, college students from our home state of NC. Honestly, that was part of the reason I was willing to pay so much for it! I am sure they have made plenty of money by now! It IS a bit over priced considering the simple materials used. No way it comes anywhere near the cost to make. But hey, great idea equals great reward! I tell everyone this is the only shade they ever need to buy! No more chasing umbrellas or 4 point tents down the beach or watching for the terrifying possibility of being impaled by a flying umbrella spike! So yes, it is pricey but worth it!!

Title: Easy to carry and easy set up!
Review: We have the smaller size and it works great! It fits easily into my beach bag, so one less item to carry!! Super light weight and very easy to set up (5 minutes or less). It’s expensive compared to umbrellas but the size and ease of set up are worth the price to me. It provides enough shade for two of us plus our big dog & cooler. Only downsides are it makes a little noise and you need wind to keep it up. Overall very satisfied with the purchase!

Title: The best Beach Shade EVER!
Review: I've done my homework and looked and scouted all the options out there. This one is well worth the investment.Lightweight and smallest compact size for the biggest shade area. Easy to assemble if solo and with 2 people. It's durable and the design is conducive for a windy day. Only 3 points of contact. Pole can go directly into sand (when beach rules allow) OR poles can go in a bucket of sand if beach rules prohibit for eco safety of the environment. I purchased this in the large size and returned since I needed only for myself and got the small one and used multiple times this summer. But now, because I absolutely love the durability and craftsmanship of this superior product, I might get the large one again, as I am traveling to the Caribbean in January with family and friends and I know how Lightweight it is, it will fit perfectly in my under 50 lbs suitcase.When I saw someone with this in the Caribbean, I had to ask them what and where they purchased. So glad I asked the. I really don't like to bother strangers but in this case, I'm glad I politely asked them the details, because I'm so happy with my purchase!!!

Title: Best Umbrella Ever
Review: LOVE this. So glad we brought it on vacay. Its easy to carry, super easy to set up and provided shade so I could read without burning. I was super impressed that it stood up to bad weather and enjoyed watching it flapping in the wind from our deck during the storm.We bought the mini plan on getting the large for next year. Next year we will be flying to the beach. Since this is light weight I plan on packing it in my suitcase.

Title: Slightly loud, but so easy to put up - worth it!
Review: I was concerned about it being too loud, and it can be sort of loud on a windy day, meaning you can’t hear the ocean as much as you’d probably want to, but honestly all the pros are worth it. Plus, I can still hear the person I’m sitting next too so it’s fine. The other issue we had was if it’s not windy enough, which just happened to be a few hours, it oddly enough wasn’t windy enough so everyone with a shibumi on the beach had a hard time keeping their shade up and it’d just float down and sit on our bodies. HOWEVER here are the pros which make it so worth the investment - it’s sooo easy to set up, very light and small so it easily fits in your bag, provides a nice amount of shade and did I mention how easy it is to set up? We got the small size, which works for just two people.

Title: Best investment ever
Review: This is compact. Comes with a carrying case. Super easy to mount. I’m 5’2” and 107 lbs and can carry and mount it alone. So much easier than carrying an umbrella or a tent! Love it!

Title: Even better than we hoped
Review: Had avoided buying a beach shelter in the past because they were so bulky. Was charmed by the simple elegance of this design and its small size and weight. At the beach even the mini was just large enough for my wife and I and two teens.First day was a red flag warning with winds gusting to around 30 mph. No problem setting it up for the first time and it stayed put the whole afternoon. We watched a nearby party try to put up a conventional shelter and give up after about 45’.Second day was a green flag day. Again the Shibumi performed admirably.The flapping sound blends in with the surf and didn’t bother any of us. Having only a single support line attached to the very visible black bag is great. Congrats to Shibumi for this brilliant design!

Title: Easy to set up
Review: The shade works well as long as there is a breeze . Very easy to set up and take down and also very light weight to carry. Can easily fit in an average sized beach bag to transport. The small size is small and only is enough shade for two people

Review: I just love it, it’s not noisy at all for me… however it does really fall when there is no wind and you have to movie it around as the wind changes throughout the day… Still debating whether the portability outweighs the gamble of having or not having wind.
