Abstract: A parasol with heat reflective qualities is disclosed having a roof material constructed such as to have three layers: one layer is a top cover layer made from a translucent material, the middle layer consisting of a metallic material to thereby provide heat reflective qualities, and an under inner cover layer made of a generally opaque nylon material to preclude any light from passing through to the user. These three layers are arrayed upon a parasol or other such frame, either collapsible or rigid in nature. These frames can vary in size and shape responding to the needs of the user or site at which to be used.
