totes Automatic Open Close Compact Foldable Travel Umbrella

Sturdy, lightweight and wonderfully small umbrella. I can fit it right in my handbag. Good price. Only problem is that it is a bit difficult to close.

This is a very small umbrella. This is the type of umbrella that you keep in your office or under the seat of your car just in case you forgot your normal umbrella. It will easily fit in a briefcase or backpack. You push a button and it opens but does not lock into place. You push the button and it will collapse but you have to push the top of the umbrella with your hand to collapse it completely. When fully opened it is 39 inches tip to tip and it is light weight. This is a decent umbrella but if you are looking for a small umbrella that is sturdy and opens up to the size of a golf umbrella this is not what you want.

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.

I had bought this umbrella from Kmart a long time ago & never could find another one. I finally found style number on old one & got the exact same one. I love the size. Great to carry while on lunch at work! Thank you for your prompt service!

I like the compact portable umbrella for trips because its easy carry your luggage and fits in a cargo pant pocket. It folds up pretty easy too. I did not like the way it was shipped in the box because the sides were not taped closed.

This umbrella is compact enough that I can tuck it into a back pocket. This makes carrying an umbrella just in case a very small burden. The first press of the button on the handle causes the pole to extend and the canopy to open. A second press of the button causes the canopy to collapse. The user then has to compress the pole, and this readies the spring for the next use. I liked my first one so much that I bought a second one to keep in my glove compartment. As with many things, there may be more sturdy or generally nicer umbrellas out there, but this one is so small and convenient that I am vastly more likely to carry and use it. As others have noted, be careful when selecting your color. As of this writing, there is a colors may vary option for which the default picture is a dark color - perhaps black or navy. If you want to be sure that you get a dark one like black or navy rather than one of the brighter options, be sure to select that color.

The umbrella is the size they state and opens with a powerful mechanism that probably would not be appropriate for a petite person. Also it closes halfway then must be pulled down to lock in the handle. This took me multiple attempts and also took substantial muscle and probably would not be acceptable for a petite person. Overall opening and closing is rough. I was a little surprised totes had its name associated with this umbrella. However, the umbrella does what it was advertised to do..

No complaints! Used it a couple times. Convenient for the glove box for unexpected rain. It even fits in my larger purses. Its not a 2-person umbrella, but I would expect it to bend the laws of physics and magically transform. :-)

I was afraid this was going to be a knock off so I didnt know what to expect. I bought it to replace one I had just like it that I left in a rental car. This is even better than the one I had before and that one lasted me over 7 years. I love this size because it fits in my back pocket which is great because I live in a city and dont like carrying an 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
