I have experience with all the competitors and the Solbello is BY FAR the best one. Super easy to carry, throws a big enough shade area for three people with beach luggage or four people that know each other well. I wish it came with some different color options but still love this thing!

Just used my solbello for the first time in South Florida and loved it. Especially after watching everyone hanging on to their umbrellas while we enjoyed our day at the beach and not worrying about the winds. Setup and take down were super easy. Definitely worth it!!!

This shade is so simple to set up, even by myself, with a toddler in tow! It seems very stable on a breezy day, and I love that it’s self shifts with the wind. What made me change my mind about this one is that they added the feature for no wind. What a great idea. I’m a huge fan so far!

We luvvv it !

After living in FL for 48 years now, I can say Solbello is the very best beach shade made to date! It's ease of use, fast set up and take down, and competitive price put it way above the others. Did I mention that it moves with the changing winds? Amazing!

I live in Charleston, SC so I practically live at the beach. Everyone I know has the shabumi which I like but it’s just too expensive. My solbello is AMAZING!!! It’s so much easier to put up than a shabumi. It’s so light weight and just amazing craftsmanship all around. 10/10 would recommend

I didn’t think I could enjoy going to the beach more than I already do. Solbello has made setting up shade easier and lighter to carry keeping the sunburns at bay.

Purchased two years ago and love it. Lightweight, easy setup and it's done. Used all day with no adjusting.

Used this for the first time the past two weeks and we love it! Easy to put up, take down, and provided great shade on the beach! Highly recommend!!!
Update 5.22.23 -
We purchased a Solbello sun shade in September, 2022. WE LOVE IT! We have been on three beach trips (2 weeks each) since and have had numerous people come up to us on the beach to find out what it is and where they could buy it. We are happy to tell everyone all about it.

Aloha Paul,

I want to thank you for your AWESOME costumer service. I was able to make it to the beach as planned with my little cousin, who was very excited. Solbello Blue worked like a charm and there was enough shade for two. Because we were late, it took only 5 min to set up the Solbello Blue giving us more time to enjoy the ocean. When it was time to go, we watch a beach goer put up his tent. He was on his knees digging in the sand and it took 30 min to complete. I just took off the shade and wrap it, and I put it in the Solbello bag. then I unscrew the pole and put that in the bag in less than 5 min. Thanks for a great produce!

Perfect for 2 people and much less in cost than competing brand. Very easy, quick setup and takedown. Glad I got. Makes umbrellas obsolete.

This is the easiest setup and take down umbrella we’ve ever owned. It provides enough shade for 4 people. Within days if owning it, 4 of our neighbors purchased them. And it’s just fun to watch it self adjust to the wind direction. Very clever!

Solbello could not be easier to set up and provides much more shade than our 7' umbrella. We bought it a week ago and in that time period 4 of our neighbors have purchased one. Be prepared to meet a lot of people asking you what it is and where to get it.

We love our Solbello so much that we had to have another! Now we have plenty of coverage when we bring our guests to the beach. Noticed some improvements with our second shade and for the better. You don’t have to worry about this blowing into anyone when it’s a windy beach day. Very stable in the sand. Again lightweight and easy to set up. Also a huge thumbs up to the customer service department. Had a question about the difference in the 2 Solbellos we ordered and Paul was on it!! Do not hesitate. Delivery is exceptionally fast also. This is a great product and company to deal with.

We used the Solbello for the first time last weekend. LOVED it. Light to carry. Easy to put up and take down and it created a nice shaded space for a couple or small family. Great replacement for a beach umbrella (actually it folds open somewhat like an umbrella). The 'kite' form of the shade means it was MUCH more wind-resistant than an umbrella, and it moved with small changes in wind direction. If there's no wind it even has a set of ropes and pegs.
I know other people on the beach were impressed - someone even walked up and asked me about it.
