Lieben Cool Umbrella, Heat Shielding & Light Blocking Umbrella, UV Cut Rate 99.9% or Higher, Light Blocking Rate 99% or Higher

A revelation in the style of a traditional sugigasa (reed hat)! I thought this was a revolutionary parasol and recently purchased it for gardening, but I've only used it twice. It covers the shoulders, so it's definitely cooler than just a hat, but the mechanism requires inserting a rod into a central hole to open and close it, which requires finger strength. It's difficult for me as an elderly woman (not impossible, but), and it's a hassle to always ask my husband for help, so I've only used it twice. I'm selling it because I don't need it anymore, given the heat where I can't even water my plants until after sunset. I recommend this for men who are fishing or walking their dogs. It's a great idea product because it allows you to work more efficiently than watering with one hand while holding a parasol. I think it's fine for people with normal finger strength. If you find even a plastic bottle cap difficult to open, I don't recommend it. For the record, my family can open and close it without issue. I've also included the description from the Amazon site, so please refer to that for details like size. The included storage bag and instruction manual are also attached.
