InBrella Reverse Close Umbrella, Invisible Water Repellent Coating, Auto Close

Finally an umbrella that works as its supposed to. The umbrella opens in reverse and allows running to the car, jumping in a much dryer task.

Going to take this down a star for marketing this as a womens umbrella. I mean what is that? Anyway, smooth action to open and close. The nice blue skies on the underside of the canopy to help out when its a grey, dreary, rainy day. The reversible close helps keep things dry.

Very sturdy and amazing quality. Love that it flips inside out when closed, keeps the water in one place.

As interesting as functional product. Love the idea, it is a real conversation starter where we go. Even people waiting out side coffee shops have asked me who made it and how expensive is it ??. When I tell them it is Totes and the priced the same as normal umbrellas, I have seen many searching for it in amazon !!!. It is one one of those products that catches your eye and makes you want it, either you need it or not.

I got this because I wanted to see if it really lived up to the claims for this type of umbrella: water is locked in upon closing, easier to open in awkward spaces and resistant to wind. First, I thought it was very easy to open. All you have to do is push upward (instructions printed on the handle)until it clicks in place, and to close it you press the release button. Easy. Second, I noticed that there were two layers of fabric, which I later realized was for sequestering the water. When I first used it I stuck it just outside the open door and it opened very easily without getting caught in the door in any way. Bonus. The same for when I got to my car and closed the car door almost all the way- it closed and I avoided getting wet there too. However, when I brought the umbrella with me, I did get a little wet, so I cant say that this completely keeps you dry. I cannot comment on how this fared against the wind as it was not a windy day. Overall I liked it, I will use it again.

Good, solid umbrella with a big handle and decent coverage. While the inverted design is good for keeping you dry and is definitely less messy, it is not quite the revolution they might like you to believe, and it comes with some drawbacks. For one, you cant really operate this umbrella one-handed - opening it is definitely a two-handed affair, and a cumbersome one at that. I even pulled the handle apart the first time (but was able to re-assmble it easily). Closing it is easier, but it is a pain to step out into the rain and have to fumble with this thing just to get it open. Second, this umbrella is bulkier than a regular umbrella, and the ribs stick out at the end, making it useless as a walking-stick. Not that I need a cane, but when youre walking around with a big cane-like umbrella, and you cant put the tip against the ground without risking breaking the ribs, it kind of gets in the way. It is very nice to be able to close this thing up and keep the wet side away from you, but you still need to open it up to dry at some point - there are little holes on the under-lining, but it still needs to air out. I like it but it is not going to be something I take with me in case it MIGHT rain, but I would definitely grab it if it IS raining.

Held up in the rain with winds 23 mph. Did not fold and kept the rain off me.

Really enjoying this!!! Takes some getting used to. You push to open but hit the button to close which is the opposite of most traditional umbrellas. This is a good size for even 2 ppl. Def not one to put in your purse but stores just fine between seat and car door.

Love the concept

I LOVE this umbrella! It is so much easier getting out of my car in the rain with an umbrella that opens down rather than up! I highly recommend getting one!
