totes Automatic Open Close Compact Foldable Travel Umbrella

I needed an umbrella to keep in my bookbag at all times, (have been caught in a few rainstorms in the past without an umbrella and it sucked). For that reason I chose this totes mini umbrella. It has an automatic open close function which is awesome. The coverage area is quite small, but for the purpose of being an emergency umbrella, this does its job well. Its small, light, and functional. Often times i even forget that its in the side pocket of my bookbag, and more than once have I been glad to have it with me.

The umbrella was the size I was looking for, and the automatic open and close worked well. It wasnt quite as lightweight as I had hoped for, but it fit my needs well.

My wife is in love with her Raines umbrella. She pops it up at the first sprinkle. This not her first Raines. She really puts them to the test, and is not happy with any other umbrella. Believe me, Ive given her others over the years, never a happy outcome. She especially likes the auto partial closing when she comes to a narrow passageway. The Raines was exactly what we expected, should be, since it is exactly like her other one. And it was delivered promptly by Amazon. These umbrellas are a little hard to find locally, even in a major city. Dont know why that is, but who cares when we can get it so easily and quickly through Amazon?

TO CORRECT PRIOR REVIEW: I was talking about an earlier umbrella received. This totes umbrella is small, palm sized and lightweight. A good travel, purse or backpack umbrella.

Nice little umbrella but does not stand up to ND wind. It popped inside out once and now doesnt open/close as well. If your area doesnt have much for wind it is a great little addition - light to carry every day

Very good coverage for such a compact auto-open/close umbrella. The only complaint my wife has that it came only in black.

Love this little umbrella. I live in california so I rarely if ever need an umbrella but I wanted something small I could fit into my laptop case when I travel. I basically wanted something that I can put into my bag and just forget about it without taking up too much space. This was perfect!

I have bought totes umbrellas over the years and have several other ones. This one the product quality is terrible. I had to buy it twice in a few months time. The first one turned inside out on a windy day, one spoke broke and now it is bent on one side and not usable. The second one the handle broke and completely fell apart while closing the umbrella. I do not recommend this product. Not sure why the quality is so much lower than Totes umbrellas made in the past, but this one is badly made and does not last.

Works great. Press a button, it opens. Press again and it closes. Small enough to pack easily and carry with you on your travels.

I wanted a purse size umbrella-small, durable, lightweight. This was the second time I ordered this specific umbrella. The first one lasted two years, weathering a trip to the U.K. and Seattles rainiest winter ever. I forgot it in a restaurant. This second umbrella is just as good as the first; thank you!
