does it really protect you from the sun or are you still squinting from the sun and drying up

Just purchased it in December so we haven't had a chance to use it yet. Still Winter where we are. It looks like it is going to do the job though. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

It defuses the sun light. No squinting. Suppose to help with uv. You do not feel direct sun het. I like the product. Not easy to install.

I wear a moisturizer with it because I have very dry skin. It does have a good moisterizing feel to it though not like other sunscreens.

It is a very thin piece of cloth so I do not think it would help much with sun. It is not reflective and might actually absorb sun.

This is the best I can answer your question. We got it to use in a camp ground to protect the car from dust, oak fog and cotton wood debris. It does the job and we consider it waterproof too. It was in a bevy rain Saturday night . There were a few drops laying of top of the cover but nothing wet underneath. And, yes, we feel that it also protects from the sun. Hope this helps you.

No, it does not totally keep the rain out. It is an open weave mesh. When the rain hits, it turns into a very fine mist. I have mine tilted so that one corner is lower than the opposite corner. That way the rain runs off to that lower corner. I would say that it keeps eighty-five to ninety percent of the water from coming through. But I can't sit outside watching the rain and expect to be dry. It really works great for keeping the sun from melting your head.

It keeps the rain out about 95%. Only thing was it only lasted from Dec thru about early August then started to disintegrate from sun exposure. We lived in California but near Santa Cruz which isn't really that hot and is foggy many days until noon so I was kinda surprised it didn't last longer. Its really cute for sure. On warm days, the cover was almost too warm. Now that its off, its new and different again so it was fun while it lasted!

I bought the golden/beige one and I use it to block the western sun. I really can't see anything through it in the daytime. I imagine if you and a light were behind it, it would probably show images/shadows.

It blocked the sun. I used it as an animal shelter and it kept rain and sun off the animals. With sides it gets humid and warm, but it is a nice shade.

Yes, but honestly, I never really ended up using this much. It was more of a hassle, and kind of a cheap product. I still haven't found the perfect product to shield the sun, but found the larger canopy's worked better. I also questioned just how much protection it was giving. Sorry for having more complaints and not a direct solution to offer. :(

It's made very well but it is somewhat sheer. I live in central florida and have quite a bit of full sun in the yard. It does filter light well and has held up under our weather conditions, which includes a lot of rain as well as brutal sunlight. I recommend as to longevity but not entirely as to providing full shade, if that's what you are after. It works great for us though. We have a dining set from the same company, it has withstood very adverse weather conditions beautifully.

It goes on pretty clear but may appear slightly opaque. În the sunlight you can see some reflection. Don't waste your money thoughe because it really doesn't work.

Not particularly. It's not a matte finish so it still has a shiny surface in the sun. I've never had a problem using it in the sun except a little annoying reflection.

It's meant to reduce glare so it helps a bit. I haven't used it outside or in extreme or harsh sunlight so I can't really say but near a window it seems to work fine.you should also be able to contact the seller if you have any more questions they may be able to help you further.

Yes it does a little bit. You must rub it in thoroughly. It really is the most water resistant sunscreen I've found. I put it close to my eyes since I have facial skin cancer & it really stays put.

Yes, it still provides excellent shade coverage. We put on some sun screen and also use a blanket if the sun is very intense.

It doesn't cover the entire opening at the top, but yes, there is a covering. It essentially keeps most of the sun out, a definite plus for Hawaii.

If your wearing uv blocking sunglasses it's harder to see - I took it on a boat and was able to get great videos of dolphins in the water - so unless the sun is hitting you square on the screen, you can see it
