"Neither rain, nor sleet, nor blazing sun can keep parents from attending their kids’ outdoor sporting events—but now they can take shelter under the Sport-Brella. With an expanse of nearly seven feet, it offers enough room for younger siblings too. Our tester family loved how easy it was to set up: simply pop it open and stick it in the ground using the metal stake at the pole’s base. The umbrella’s canopy sports two zippered breeze vents, two small storage pockets, and two foldout flaps you can stake in the ground for extra protection against the elements. But the best thing about this oversize awning? Your hands are free for cheering on the home team! Includes a carrying case, plus stakes and cords for the flaps."                                                                                 -Disney's Family Fun Magazine

"Real kudos to your design team a practical way to hide from harmful sun rays but still really enjoy the out of doors on the beach especially, and the windows on the side give ventilation and allow it to hold up to dramatic florida winds.Fantastic is the word to describe this product."                                              -Mark Adams via SKLZ Blog

“As a coach the Sport-Brella is absolutely the perfect addition to all types outdoor sports. I even saw a camo one I could use as a quick turkey blind. The kids all enjoy sitting under it. I coach my son’s under 5 team, The Incredibles, and not only does it offer shade but I use it as a coaching aid. One of the things that we struggle with as coaches is having the kids pay attention and sit ready. With them all being under 5 you can imagine how this can quickly take away from the game. Now with a team bench and the Sport-Brella they sit quiet and ready and are not as hot as the other team! Last year we used a tent type awning and it was extremely cumbersome and took several minutes to put up. I am very pleased with the Sport-Brella. It’s absolutely a Great Product!!!”                                                     -Coach Mike Umfleet via email

"I have a rare blood disorder (porphyria) that makes me allergic to the sun. Having close to zero tolerance in summer months and some difficulties in winter. In Spring 2010 I discovered the Sport-Brella at my local Canadian Tire; and never before having seen anything like it before, I bought two. And it has helped me more than I ever thought was possible. For the first time in my life I can be under an umbrella at the beach or in my yard and be 100% safe from any harmful UV rays. I can go to the beach sit in the sun and read. You name it! I have NEVER gone to the beach in fear of an attack and no shade. I can freely be under the umbrella all day and not have to worry. Heat is also an issue and I cant feel the heat, only when I’m within an inch or less of the material. It’s a miracle and I thank you and your company once again! Any regular umbrella would be a death trap."                                      -Desirae via letter
