The ifrothgolf review
A full-size 68 inch double canopy golf umbrella from Sun Mountain. The headline feature is the Vision window, a clear panel set into the canopy so you can look forward through it rather than tilting the whole thing to see where you are going. It has a fibreglass frame, an SPF50 coating inside, a tipless safety design and an auto-open button.
What's great
The dual canopy genuinely helps it shrug off gusts that fold cheaper umbrellas inside out, and the vision window is more useful than it sounds when the rain is heavy and you are walking with your head down. At 68 inches it covers you and a bag comfortably, and the SPF50 lining means it doubles as shade on a baking summer round.
Worth knowing
It is big and not light, so it is a two-hand job to manage alongside clubs, and the 38mm handle is fatter than some trolley holders expect, so measure before you assume it will clip in. The auto-open is one direction only, you still close it manually, and like any large canopy it will still pull hard in a true storm. Colour availability comes and goes by season, so the exact shade you want may not always be in stock.
The verdict
A sensible, durable choice if you walk in real weather and want the practical vision window. Not the cheapest umbrella out there, but the wind stability and coverage earn the price for anyone who plays through British conditions.
