How cool is it? if I wanted to use it as a parasol at the beach over the summer would it keep me cool?

Love this. I have a medical condition where I can't be in the sun long. This works great to cover my head and face. Still have to wear long sleeves but glad I don't have to wear a hoodie anymore.

I live in Florida & use this year round. I find it to be warm but not oppressingly hot in summer. It might br too light foe winter if you live in a cold region

Not at all. It's actually very cool to the touch. We live in Arizona and we've used it in summer and cooler temps and it always is dry and cool to the touch. Perfect for beach or grass.

I think it's excellent at blocking the sun. I'm very satisfied with this umbrella.

Yes, we have used it on the beach, but I would put it under a shade and leave the pea pod fully ventilated. it can get pretty warm inside.

i think it would be great for that... i used it at a baseball game here in the 100-110 degree weather and it was awesome so i feel it would be even better in a smaller less brutal heat area...for the price and the product positives it is worth it

It is a beautiful hammock but too big for our frame, and still we kept it for the future possibilities, warm, suppose it could be in the sun, but under a shade tree and a breeze, perfecto. It is comfy and you won't have the feeling of your body going thru a sieve with the netted ones.

It's really only warm on the top. For summer camping it should suffice. You could put another bag in it.

It is not too hot. Protection from sun is my priority. I will wear it at the golf course in Fort Myers.

Yes. This is very plush and warm, I would not use it in the summer time at all.

It does move the air very well which creates a cooling effect. Made our living area cooler during summer.

I gives a little heat, but I only use it outside on my deck. Don't expect it to keep you warm on a chilly evening outside... it's more for a light glow and ambience. Perhaps in an enclosed area it would warm the space.

"Cool" is a relative term. When they are wet or moist and there is a bit of a breeze, they will feel a bit cool, but only a bit. However, I use mine in Honduras, where I live, and find them very comfortable in our extremely high humidity and temps. They are much better than slathering on sunscreen!!

I don't think you would have a problem. I bought this in black and I just spent last Sunday all day at the beach in Miami weather (over 90 degrees), mostly outside walking and sunbathing, and I did not feel hot. If you get it in a color other than black and with the wind factor, I don't any problem wearing this for sun protection.

I think it would be fine for use on the beach, as long as you take-a-long something to tie it down with (bucket of rocks, concrete blocks, & bungee cords, etc). It really doesn't take much wind to move it or knock it down. Good luck & have fun!

The sun protection isn't great, however it is really light which makes it easy to pack and set up. It is also very breathable. I thought I would use it at the beach for my one year old, but have got more use out of it while camping (it's the play tent), in our yard and inside the house. I tie a light blanket or sheet over it if more shade is needed. Overall, I initially purchased it for the shade but have already got my money's worth out of it for different reasons. Hope this was somewhat helpful.

We have used this at the beach. No rain but I think it would work pretty well. We really enjoyed it for the shade!!
