Beach, Picnic & Sporting Events Umbrella



Beach Pockets Umbrella...Product Review

Are you looking for an environmentally friendly outdoor accessory that was voted the #1 Favorite Summer Gadget by the television show The View and was part of the Golden Globes celebrity gift basket? The Beach Pockets umbrella is wonderful for the beach, park, picnic, or sporting event. It is easy to use, can withstand winds up to 20 miles per hour and best of all provides SPF sun protection of 50.

This past weekend I had the opportunity to test out this umbrella with my husband on a California beach. The sun was shining and the winds were strong but this umbrella stood up to the test. On any other visit to the beach I usually stand by and defer to my husband to set up the umbrella, but this past Saturday I decided to try my luck with the Beach Pockets umbrella. This umbrella has 3 pockets that are attached to a barrel at the bottom of the pole for the sole purpose of filling with sand, books, magazines or water bottles to hold the umbrella in place.

This Beach Pockets umbrella, invented by Barbara Bigford has been highlighted in the Wall Street Journal,featured on The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch, honored by Invent Now America, is lightweight and available in several colorful designs.
