MY REVIEW
Since I started Vanilla Joy in 2007, I’ve gotten a lot of great stuff to try out and review, and the Sport-Brella is definitely in my list of summer favorites.
Basically, the Sport-Brella is a compact, lightweight, and enormous umbrella, perfect for sporting events, the beach, or your back yard and we’ve used ours all summer long. It’s quick to set up (less than 5 minutes), it’s sturdy, and most importantly, it provides enough shade for our entire family no matter where we go.
The Sport-Brella provides 8 feet of coverage and has side flaps for extended protection. It also has vents and zippered windows to allow the breeze to pass through and keep you even cooler in the shade. It’s sun and weather protected, water repellent, and has internal pockets for your gear. It weighs 9 pounds and is the perfect summer shade solution!
We’ve taken ours on all our camping trips this summer and I’m happy to say that we have not had any sunburns! For us, having portable shade umbrella like this means we stay cooler and don’t get sun burned, so we can stay outside all day every day.
The Sport-Brella and the Sport-Brella Chair are two products that have helped us have a safe and cool summer!

OHHHH< I could have used this on our recent camping adventure.
What a perfect item for the patio as well. Our patio gets direct morning sun and gets mighty hot in the deep south. I could really use this umbrella.
I would use this for all the sports events we attend! I’ve seen it used before, and you can fit a lot of people under it.
i would love to win this. I have a fair red-headed daughter. this would be great for the park, swimming, sports games, camping etc…

I would love the most how portable of shade it is. We go fishing and it would be perfect to use with my 1yr. and bet it would be great at the beach. I like the side windows on it too.

This looks great! We live in Oregon, so the beach is an often visited place and this would really come in handy!

I bought this cute umbrella once from Crate and Barrel and it was the heaviest monstrosity. Who knew? I love that this is light. My pale children and my pathetic lack of muscles would love this.
This is an awesome umbrella. It would be perfect for my son’s soccer games all year round (sun, rain and cold wind). I would be able to cheer on the team without having to hold on to the umbrella or putting it down on the ground and have it fly off if it’s windy!
What an amazing product! My little girl has the most gorgeous creamy skin that i want to keep that way. This umbrella would help me do that
I would LOVE to win this! WE have soccer games on Saturdays and our little girl is so fair this would be so AWESOME!
I love the sides on this umbrella. Flag football season is upon us – Help! I need this. Plenty of rainy, muddy wet games.

I have a fair skinned, red headed boy. This would be so perfect for us because we could spend more time outside without worrying about the sun!

Oh my goodness! That is soo cool! We spend a lot of time outside in the summer, and we all burn easily. This would be so great to have! I always wanted an outdoor umbrella, but didn’t know where to find a good one. Thanks for the link and chance to win!
I would love to win this! I am about to deliver my second child, and this would be a great addition for family outings next spring and summer!

This sport-brella is amazing! It would be great to take to the beach to keep my little guy out of the sun but still have fun with the sand. It would also be great for pregame tailgating for college football.
I’d love this to provide some extra shade for our newborn when we’re outside. (which is often!)
sooooo excited! I just emailed u!
