Sunscreen quits by lunch. Shade doesn’t. Meet the clip-on sun umbrella for the hours in between.

1. Sunscreen Is A 2-Hour Product. The Day Is Longer.

It went on at 8:00. Face, neck, the backs of the hands. A good, careful coat.

But here’s the problem: sunscreen is made to be reapplied every two hours, and sooner after sweating. It says so on the back of the tube.

Almost nobody does that at a desk, with a mirror and clean hands, at ten, at noon and at two. When was the last second coat on a working day?

So by 1:15, when the sun is high and lunch is outside, the morning coat has been working for five hours on a two-hour job.

Haven is made for that gap.

It puts UPF 50+ shade overhead in one press, with nothing to rub in and nothing to reapply.

It clips to a bag by its carabiner loop handle, so it is already there when the walk to lunch starts.

See it work

One press to open. One press to close. Clips to a bag.

UPF 50+ shade for a UAE midday.

UPF 50 fabric blocks 98% of UV. Shade that folds to 40 cm and clips to a bag.


Sunscreen first. Then shade for the hours it does not last.

2. A UPF 50 Canopy Lets 1/50th Of UV Through. All Day.

There is a reason shade is different from everything else in the bag.

It does not wear off or sweat off. It needs no mirror and no clean hands.

It works for as long as it is open.

But only if the fabric is real shade.

Hold an ordinary umbrella up to the sun and light glows straight through the canopy. That glow lands on whoever is standing underneath. Thin fabric is not shade.

That’s where Haven comes in.

Haven adds a black UV-blocking under-layer beneath the canopy, rated UPF 50+, so there is a dense layer of fabric between the midday sun and the street.

UPF 50 fabric blocks 98% of UV and lets through just one fiftieth, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation.

With water-repellent pongee on top, the same canopy handles a shower on the way home.

The result?

A layer that is still working at 1:15, at 3:00 and at 5:30, exactly as it did at 8:00.

3. 0 Tubes, 0 Mirrors, 0 Second Coats At A Desk

Everyone knows the usual options:


A second coat in the office toilets, over make-up


A hat that covers the head and nothing below it


The shady side of the street, which ends at the crossing


Staying indoors until four, which is not a plan


Haven makes shade portable, on a bag strap - no tube, no mirror, no clean hands and no two-hour timer.

Just 105 cm / 41.3 in of shade that opens in one press and closes in one press.

It folds to 40 cm / 15.75 in and weighs about 390 g, so it can live on the bag all week.

4. 105 cm Of Shade From 40 cm Of Umbrella

Real Shade:


UPF 50+ canopy – UPF 50 fabric blocks 98% of UV and lets through one fiftieth (Skin Cancer Foundation).

Black under-layer – Sits beneath the canopy, so sunlight does not glow through the fabric.

105 cm / 41.3 in span – Overhead shade for head, neck and shoulders at once.

Always On The Bag:


Carabiner loop handle – An oversized swivel loop that clips to bags, straps and hooks.
40 cm / 15.75 in folded – And 5 cm / 2 in wide, so it also fits inside a handbag.
About 390 g – Light enough to leave on the bag all week.

One-touch button – One press opens the canopy and one press closes it.

Any Forecast:


Water-repellent pongee – Rain beads up and rolls off.

Flexible wind-ready frame – Bends with everyday gusts. It is not made for severe storms.

Reflective strips – Under the canopy, where they catch headlights after dark.


Made in Japan, in six colours: Beige, Black, Blue, Gray, Pink and Green.

5. Every Day Has A 1:15. All 365 Of Them.

Every time the front door closes, the morning coat starts running down. By lunch it is five hours into a two-hour job.


A grey sky does not change that: UVA passes through cloud and window glass.


Shade is different.


Haven is built around a UPF 50+ canopy, the one sun layer with nothing to wear off. It comes with a one-touch button and a carabiner handle that keep it within reach, along with a black under-layer that stops light glowing through the fabric.


These details work together to put real shade overhead at the hour sunscreen has to work hardest, without adding a single step at the mirror.

Haven does not replace sunscreen. It adds overhead shade; light also reaches skin from the sides and off pavements, so keep using sunscreen on exposed skin.

6. 1 Press Beats A Habit You Have To Remember

A new habit usually fails at the same step: remembering.


Haven removes that step. It hangs from the bag by its carabiner loop, so there is nothing to pack in the morning and nothing to forget. Too bulky? It is 40 cm / 15.75 in folded and about 390 g.


It takes just one press to open, and one more to close it again at the door.


Clip it on tonight and tomorrow’s walk to lunch is already covered.


It will be 1:15 again tomorrow.


The only question is whether the shade is on the bag.
