This arrived a few hours ago and I went ouside and opened it up.  It seems to be very good quality and blocked the sun well.  Blue skies so I cannot as of now make comment on the rain protection.

It looks nice, feels nice, and has fair heft without being heavy.  I look forward (not really) to testing it in the rain.  Yes, that was sarcasm by way of me not liking rain, hence the umbrella purchase.

I'm thinking about buying the red window pane pattern for my wife.
