When I was contacted by a representative for the Sport-Brella by SKLZ, and they explained what their product does, I immediately said I’d love to review it! When I received it, I was pleasantly surprised to see that even though the Sport-Brella is large enough to protect our entire family from the elements when opened it is actually quite compact when all folded up!
The first thing that came to mind was how useful it will be when Football starts up! We are exposed to a lot of elements during football season…practices typically begin the last week in July for the younger boys, which exposes us to some pretty extreme heat. But the games for the season do not end until the beginning of November typically, which puts us into very cold and rainy weather most of the time. Thankfully we will be completely covered with the Sport-Brella!
Sport-Brella is an easy to transport umbrella that an entire family can lounge under. It can be assembled in a quick three seconds. It offers 125 SPF protection from the sun, top wind vents, side zippered windows and internal pockets for gear and valuables.
Setting up the Sport-Brella truly is very simple! It opens just like a regular umbrella, then you simply stake the main pole into the ground and stake down the two flaps to secure them for complete protection and that is it! Our yard is particularly rocky, so it wasn’t quite as easy to get the Sport-Brella staked into our yard as it is at the park or sport fields.
Personally, I LOVE the SPF protection! When my sister comes to visit with her kiddos, we love being able to keep 3 month old Little Miss inside the Sport-Brella so that she doesn’t get too much sun. It honestly reminds me a little bit of a tent posing as an umbrella 
.
For families who spend time outside…at their kids’ sports events or even at the beach…I highly recommend the Sport-Brella!

oh my goodness. My kids both play baseball and we spend some VERY hot weekends out at the ballfields! This would be great for keeping the hot sun off of our heads! And I love that it has the air vents! Nothing worse that being stuck in a stuffy tent in 95 degree weather!!

We love going to the local rec park pool in the summer. Unfortunately there is NO shade available so going this summer with Lil Bit is (or was) going to be a challenge. I think the Sport-Brella is exactly what we are looking for. It will provide just the coverage we need while still allowing air flow so Lil Bit doesn’t burn or get too hot. If I don’t win … I will be buying!

I like the fact that it sets up in just three seconds and fits the family or the whole team. This isn’t just great for my family but I can include a few others as well. Wonderful!

June 17th, 2009 at 6:01 am 13
It would be great for football games! I’ve never seen one of these before and it looks like a great product!
June 17th, 2009 at 6:09 am 14
The spf 50 is awesome. Plus the fact that it would shelter DH from the sun while the kids play would be a Godsend! I can’t tell you how many times we’ve had to leave the beach or a park early because DH just can’t take the heat, lol!

My father has had the MOHS procedure done on his face a few times due to skin cancer and this would be perfect for when he goes to the beach or out to games to watch the grandchildren. He does get hot so the fact that there is air ventilation is wonderful.
June 18th, 2009 at 6:22 am 33
it has maximum sun protection upf 50+.
everyone in my family (except for one, and there’s always one!) has sun sensitive skin. this is ideal in the summer wherever we go.
June 18th, 2009 at 6:41 am 34
Definitely the sun protection — UPF 50+
June 18th, 2009 at 6:58 am 35
maximum sun protection UPF 50+.
That is my favorite feature. My husband is sensitive to the sun, so it’s great to have a nice big Sport-Brella to keep him protected. Especially since we both love being outside.
I love the Sport-Brella Idea!
June 18th, 2009 at 8:17 am 36
This is the perfect size for the beach and portable to boot! No more umbrella rentals.

I love that it can be set up in three seconds. By the time our family is ready to relax after a long car ride, the last thing they want to do is work!

The fact that it is easy to set up is tops in my book.

the internal pockets for stakes, my family is notorious for losing the small parts
June 18th, 2009 at 2:50 pm 50
I love to work in my small garden and flowers, but I can’t take the sun and heat, I wilt more than my plants do, so this would be excellant to use for protection from the suns rays and give some relief from the heat while I pull those weeds.

I love that it is 7 feet wide – so we can all fit under it!!!

Sets up in seconds, opens to 7 feet, and is great for protecting you from harmful rays of the sun, as well as wet weather and wind. Perfect for all seasons/weather, or if you’re Mary Poppins, it’s great for travel

Maximum sun protection UPF 50+ and water repellent – this is the most important feature. It is most important to protect my kids from the sun, and of course if it is raining it is great that it will repel the water. Looks great and I’d love to win one.
June 24th, 2009 at 3:13 pm 113
This is an amazing product. Our three children play soccer and baseball all year and this would be the perfect solution for all season weather. Perfect for our annual trip to the beach and going to the park. The 50 SPF is a much needed feature and could even be used for our VBS games rotation and for the preschool classes to have for picnics. Easy compact storage is ideal. A very well-thought out product for any family that is active!:) I would love to be the lucky recipient.

Actually, all of the features of this product I am most interested in. My husband and I vacation a lot, and 85% of the time we are at the beach. We do not like to get sunburned while at the beach and the Sport-Brella would be absolutely perfect for this. Not only would this protect us from the sun, but from water as well. I like that it has vents for airflow – which is nice for the beach/hot days.
What a great product. Even if I do not win one, I bookmarked the website so I can purchase one! Thank-you for the opportunity to win a Sport-Bella!

I like the easy setup. Especially if I was to go to the lake by myself and daughter—
June 27th, 2009 at 3:21 pm 132
I love how it has air vents. That way at least the wind will get through
June 27th, 2009 at 5:04 pm 133
After extensive facial surgery for basal cell carcinoma, I love that it offers protection from the sun.

The feature I like best is that it “protects over 99.5% of UVA and UVB rays.”
June 27th, 2009 at 6:50 pm 135
Protection from the sun is the most important feature for me.

I really need the sun protection… I have MS (known for heat sensitive…) and am on medications that tell me to avoid sunlight… The 3 sided sun protection would really be a blessing
June 27th, 2009 at 8:41 pm 138
I love the easy set-up and the windows.
thanks

I like the side flaps. They sort of give you a little room of your own at an outdoor event.
June 27th, 2009 at 8:57 pm 140
I can’t sit in the sun for long for medical reasons… Having a three-way sun blocker would really help me to participate in more family gatherings…
June 27th, 2009 at 9:47 pm 141
The sun protection is most important. It’s weird, but several family members are literally allergic to the sun!
June 27th, 2009 at 10:12 pm 142
Protects over 99.5% of UVA and UVB rays! I have 2 very pale little girls to protect from the sun at dh’s softball games so this would be awesome to have. Thank you!
June 27th, 2009 at 10:55 pm 143
I love the wind protection capability, but ease of setup is my favorite feature.
June 28th, 2009 at 4:03 am 144
I think the wind protection would be a nice feature
June 28th, 2009 at 6:21 am 145
Would protect the whole family from the harmful UV rays while we’re either by the pool or at the beach
June 28th, 2009 at 9:31 am 146
easy set up rocks!
June 28th, 2009 at 9:42 am 147
The SPF would be the best for our family. I have infant twins & the doc has told me not to use sunblock until they are 6 months old. Well, I live in the Valley of the Sun & that would mean I would not be able to go out until late fall! This Sportbrella sounds great!
June 28th, 2009 at 10:59 am 148
it sets up in only 3 seconds
June 28th, 2009 at 11:55 am 149
i really like how quick it sets up and that i could do it myself with the kids when my husband isnt with us and we would all fit under it thanks for the chance
June 28th, 2009 at 1:35 pm 150
The 3 second setup, the shade itself and 50 uvf are all useful for my kids.
thanks for the contest.
June 28th, 2009 at 1:44 pm 151
It sets up in just three seconds and fits the family or the team.
June 28th, 2009 at 3:04 pm 152
I love that this only takes three seconds to put up and has room for the whole family! Plus the SPF 50 is fantastic because I’m always looking for shade for my fair-skinned daughters and this would be such a great solution. Thanks!
June 28th, 2009 at 3:15 pm 153
I like the inside pocket.
June 28th, 2009 at 3:24 pm 154
What a great idea! The fact that it folds is wonderful. Then, it goes up in a snap, and offers great protection from the sun! Being I’m so fair and burn easily, I could REALLY use this!
June 28th, 2009 at 3:26 pm 155
I think the sun protection and fast set up for the whole family would be the biggest plus for us since we all love to go to t-ball games!
June 28th, 2009 at 3:38 pm 156
I love this feature: Top wind vents and side zippered windows for efficient airflow – because it can get so hot here!
Thanks
June 28th, 2009 at 4:50 pm 157
How cool this would be I live in FLORIDA….its hot and BRIGHT. My family would love this for the park or parades , the beach. We would love it!!! : )
June 28th, 2009 at 5:05 pm 158
I think the quick and easy setup is the greatest feature.
June 28th, 2009 at 5:57 pm 159
It’s the first tent OR umbrella I’ve heard of with SPF 50 protection! That’s pretty amazing!

I like that it has the Maximum sun protection UPF 50+ and water repellent where it protects over 99.5% of UVA and UVB rays.
June 28th, 2009 at 7:48 pm 162
I like that it protects you from the sun because my family burns very easily.

For me, the sun protection as I sun burner, not a sun tanner.
June 28th, 2009 at 9:08 pm 170
I love how fast it sets up and how big it is.
June 28th, 2009 at 9:14 pm 171
I was shocked to read that it’s 7 feet wide! That’s amazing it’s that big but can still be set up in seconds. This would be perfect for my son’s HS football games and tailgating parties as well as for our yearly beach vacation! Thanks.
June 28th, 2009 at 9:44 pm 172
Wow – it has 50 SPF, and looks like it will be perfect to use at the beach.
June 28th, 2009 at 9:55 pm 173
I like that it protects you from the sun and only takes 3 seconds to set up
June 28th, 2009 at 9:58 pm 174
I live in an area that often has high wind, as well as lots of sun.
June 28th, 2009 at 10:44 pm 175
Oh wow, I love this! One feature that is important to me is that it Protects over 99.5% of UVA and UVB rays! My husband coaches FFL and it so hard on us when we go to watch the games in this horrible heat and sun in Texas, this would be a life saver!

The tethers and ground stakes would be so great. I’ve seen people chasing after things all the time because the wind whipped up a good one.

This would be perfect for my grandbabies at the lake. They are very fair skinned so the width is very nice for more than one to be protected.
June 29th, 2009 at 7:10 am 189
Every sunday my whole family (and then some) go play softball, and we have to rig something up to keep the two babies out of the sun. This would be great! I love that it had air vents!! Thanks for the chance!
Sheila Hs last blog post..Yep, Im complaining lol!
June 29th, 2009 at 7:31 am 190
I like the fact that it sets up quickly and is big enough for the whole family. We go to a lot of outdoor activities and this would be wonderful to have.
June 29th, 2009 at 7:31 am 191
we could use this for so many things – softball games, the beach, break time when working in the yard, family reunion…
June 29th, 2009 at 7:49 am 192
The SPF 50 would be great. The GA sun can be blazing and we go to the park every week for the free concerts.
June 29th, 2009 at 8:13 am 193
I like that it keeps out more than 99.5% of UVA and UVB rays. That would be a great feature to have at the beach or the outdoor festivals around here.

I like it, but I need to sit under in a chair, otherwise you may need to call AAA to get me up..I am not that heavy, but I am old!
June 29th, 2009 at 8:57 am 196
I have very fair skin and I love how it has the maximum sun protection of UPF 50+!
June 29th, 2009 at 9:48 am 197
This is awesome! definitely LOVE the sun protection! especially with soccer here, it’s not always cold (rare except for maybe one or two months of actual cold weather), but plenty of sunshine!

I like the fact that it folds to 52″ x 3″ x 3″. That would be perfect since I’d use it when we go boating and always end up on the sand bar and there is limited space on the boat.

We take picnics to the beach all the time – and this unique umbrella would be amazing. I love it!
June 29th, 2009 at 1:32 pm 204
OMG… where do I start. I LOVE the sheer size of it. All four of us could fit under there. But let’s face it, I’d probably have to get another one just to fit the extras (toys, drinks, snacks, ect…) under there too! LOL Both of my kids are fair skinned, light eyed peanuts. Blocking them from the sun and heat would be great too!
June 29th, 2009 at 1:41 pm 205
The easy set up speaks my name!
June 29th, 2009 at 1:44 pm 206

I have 7 and 5 year old daughters who are very fair skinned and we live in Fla. I keep sunscreen on them as I have already had several incidences of skin cancer…this would give me extra security for them at the beach.
June 29th, 2009 at 5:30 pm 216
The UPF 50 would be the most helpful. Trying to keep sunscreen on is always a challenge so this would be a nice haven.
June 29th, 2009 at 6:57 pm 217
This would be awesome for the beach, I love that it offers UPF 50+ sun protection and protects over 99.5% of UVA and UVB rays!
June 29th, 2009 at 7:31 pm 218
There are a lot of us, so the 7 foot span when the sport-brella is open would be a huge plus for us.
June 29th, 2009 at 7:37 pm 219
This would be great for keeping the hot sun off of our heads!
June 29th, 2009 at 8:06 pm 220
I love that it is 50+ SPF since my baby is too young to yet wear sunscreen.

I had an opportunity to use one of these at the beach this week. The best thing about this umbrella is the light weight. I have a commercial grade umbrella but it is heavy and a pain to carry to the beach.
