The transparent umbrella from Goods+Gadgets arrived for our test in a typical shipping box. This was undamaged on arrival and could be easily opened by removing the adhesive strip. This type of packaging provided the product with optimum protection from external influences. Product protection was therefore fully guaranteed and the transparent umbrella was delivered in perfect condition . Unfortunately, the packaging is not fully recyclable. In this respect, the product leaves a very good first impression.

This is what our practical test showed
Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?
ℹ️ Our practical test is the most relevant and therefore the most important. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Quality | Good quality – easy to open and close | 100 points |
| Cover | Large cover of 100 cm | 100 points |

*The maximum score is 100 points
The transparent umbrella is a fashion statement in the rain and an absolute eye-catcher. The transparent PVC fabric puts the wearer in the limelight in style and is perfect for Instagram or wedding photos in bad weather.
The quality of the umbrella is very good. The entire frame is covered with high-quality silver piping, which not only prevents rust, but also ensures greater stability and durability.
Another major advantage of the transparent sunshade is its large diameter. While many compact parasols only have a small diameter of approx. 80-85 cm, this model offers a diameter of approx. 100 cm with the same pack size.
The transparent sunshade not only impresses with its appearance, but also with its functionality. It offers a full view to the front, even if you pull the sunshade deep into your forehead or hold it directly in front of your face. At the same time, it provides reliable protection from the wind, is resistant to turbulence and can withstand any wind force.
The fashionable umbrella is not only an eye-catcher, but also a reliable companion in rainy weather.
Price/performance ratio
and ratings from consumers
ℹ️ Finally, we look at how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also examine consumer ratings and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Price / performance ratio | Very good | 90 points |
| Rating cut | 4.3 out of 5.0 stars on Amazon | 65 points |
| Total | 78 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, consumers have given the product an average rating of 4.3 stars. One criticism is that the PVC is thin. However, these negative reviews emphasize that the umbrella is nevertheless stable. Many customers like the stability, the price-performance ratio and the low product weight. We were also able to confirm the positive points in our practical test.
Prices of up to €60 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products, on the other hand, are available for as little as €13. The transparent umbrella from Goods+Gadgets is therefore in the lower price segment with a current price of €16.95. Consequently, the price ratio is very good for the quality and scope of services you get.
