Disregard any negative review you may have read. I live on a Caribbean island and do a work that requires me to walk around all day in the sun. This is what I call my portable shade tree. I have less tan on my skin and less sweat on my face. If you want perfect then sit yourself under a shade tree, this is the next best thing. Oh and by the way, it handles wind fine, it turns inside out on it's hinges and pops right back into place. The only "negative" is that it is hard to push down to it's completely closed state, but hey look at it this way, you will improve your arm muscles :)
