totes Automatic Open Close Compact Foldable Travel Umbrella

Small. Perfect one-person watch. Great for big cities (Washington, D.C.) where there are tons of people. Doesnt get in others way in large crowds. Easy to open and close. Cover is great when I have to store it in my purse-- prevents from getting purse contents wet.

I havent had a chance to use this umbrella in the rain but it appears to open and close as indicated. It takes a little squeezing to get the umbrella back into the bag, but it is doable. The size is right to carry in a back pack for my future travels.

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?

The umbrella opens easily and keeps me dry, but even with the automatic closing feature its difficult top close. I have to use both hands and push the end against something solid.

There just isnt another umbrella with this much coverage that shrinks to 9 inches - they usually go to 12. Not the best vs the wind but there is always a tradeoff.

Got stuck in the wind and rain and although this umbrella was turned right side out, I was able to push it back into place and it still works! Also small enough to fit in my small purse while traveling.

Bought this item for my wife. She said that it works great.

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.

I moved from a Landsend briefcase to a backpack. No loops for an umbrella in backpack, so I was looking for small collapsed size. Fits the bill - press button to open, press button to collapse (collapse requires some additional manual collapsing.

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.
