My skin is already tanned all the time anyways, and I only burn under intense sun, so carrying a parasol is a bit pointless. I think I look healthier when tan. But on Marching band trips on hot days where we are forced to take temporary residence out in the middle of a field, my over-sized umbrella is a life saver. (quite literally sometimes!)

I would love to have one of these but i can imagine how people will look at me in the street. I mean, People in Egypt don't like holding umbrellas even in the rain (which is something i do all the time, but it looks a bit odd with my big black umbrella since I'm only 5'1'') But in the sunny day.... uh.... well if i was somewhere else i would have done it, It's loads better than sunblock.
