Totes Blue Line Golf Size Auto Open/Close Umbrella, Water Repellent Canopy, Black

I needed an umbrella that would not let the rain drip on my back and feet. This umbrella does the job perfectly. You know it works when people ask you where you got it. However... Today, for the first time, I was using the umbrella while running errands. As I was getting back into my car, I pressed the close button and then tried to pull the black part down the shaft to lock it in the closed position. As I was almost at the bottom, the umbrella popped back out, cutting my fingers in several places. Use care when closing the umbrella because the arms are not very well finished and can cause paper cut wounds or worse if you are not careful. I am saddened to report that after 5 months, the thread holding one of the arms in place has broken and there are two spots where the material has worn through or been punctured.

I had this same line of auto umbrella for 6 years. Where Im at it rains 150 in/year and umbrellas are common, however this size auto umbrella is not found anywhere near me. All are those small purse type that covers half of ones body, and in my case useless when theres wind. This umbrella is small when closed and golf sized when open and closes quickly when I need to get in the car. Perfect. I needed another umbrella because I lost my original one. I read somewhere that the typical life of an umbrella is 2 years. While this lasted me longer, its not bullet proof. I took good care of it over the years and it kept me dry. Of course Id recommend it.

Great Umbrella!

I bought the tote golf size because two of my previous umbrella broke after several blow of strong winds. I love the size and strength of the tote umbrella.

I bought one of these in 2013 (right) and another in 2022 (left). The only difference between them is that the velcro strap now has a totes tag on the end of it. The skeleton structure is identical and is even stamped with the same ENSON-D4 part number. I replaced mine because the rubberized handle degraded and became sticky. Sitting in my car for nine years no doubt had something to do with it. Id have no reason to replace the old model if not for the handle. The mechanisms work, the canopy is flawless, and the skeleton is sound. Angle it into the wind and Id say youll have a great umbrella for about 8 years.

This is a large umbrella. It folds very compactly for its size. The design is well thought out. The handle is relatively comfortable to hold, and the auto open auto close feature is extremely useful. This feature means that you press the button once to open the umbrella, like any spring-loaded umbrella, but pressing the button again collapses the umbrella automatically as you get into a car or pass through a doorway. Once you are inside and dry, you can simply compress the telescoping component and it is ready for use again. Well worth the cost, this umbrella has yet to give me a reason to wish I had bought any other.

looks and feels very solid; have not tested the durability in wind yet.

I really like this umbrella and it arrived right before I had to go out in the rain. My only issue is I didnt receive the color I ordered. I ordered the beige and black one but received an all beige one.

Great umbrella! I was looking for a compact umbrella that still offered a large coverage area and this one definitely does. I have never accidentally hit the button to close it on me and have never had an issue with wind. It seems very strong as I have had to use it in a few windy situations, but it always holds up well. It easily covers me and my son and is small enough to fit in the back pocket of my car seat. No complaints!

This umbrella is pretty great for students. Its wide enough when open to shield a person and a backpack, yet small enough when closed to carry around daily. It will most likely fit in the side, water bottle compartment, if you need a place to stash it when its not in use. It has withstood the admittedly mild Californian climate so far, and Im sure it will continue to do so. While its true that the underside may feel a bit damp after using it in the rain, it has never led to actual water droplets leaking in so far. Also, it may be a bit large while walking on the sidewalk though, so be careful not to poke people as you walk by!
