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

It isn’t exactly golf size as it was advertised so I was a bit surprised. It’s a good umbrella, but it said golf sized. Instead this is a good smallish umbrella that is portable and easy to store in your car. If you’re ant a golf size umbrella, you need to buy one and the type that’s the size of a cane.

Best umbrella Ive ever bought. Very sturdy, folds small yet the coverage is very wide when opened. Had a big gust of wind that put this brella to the test recently. The wind almost blew the brella out of my hand despite holding firmly to it. To my fortunate surprise, the brella never flipped over like most umbrellas do with the slightest breeze. Im happy to say, this was certainly worth every cent! It repells water well and fits in my tote bag to carry around daily.

I like this umbrella - it is a golf-sized umbrella, but retracts to a size that is small enough to carry in a briefcase / backpack. I am hard on umbrellas, though and I worry that Totes got this combination by using as thin a gauge of metal for the spokes and handle as possible - it feels flimsier than other Totes umbrellas Ive purchased. (I think Totes is one of those companies that will warrant their products with a lifetime guarantee - Ive had the opportunity to avail myself of this with Totes, but I only feel comfortable with one replacement per one item purchased; you cant expect too much from an umbrella, after all.

I have now owned 3 of these. None have failed, I just tend to leave them behind in carts and restaurants. I lose one every couple years. This one is quality, and you dont feel as bad when you lose it as there are many that are quite a bit more expensive. I like large umbrellas that collapse smaller, and this one fits the bill.

I bought this to replace a similar auto open/close Totes umbrella I bought 10 years ago. They used to have soft foam on the handles, but the handle on this one is coated with rubberized soft-touch material that was sticky right out of the box -- not enough to leave goop on your hands, but enough to feel gross and unpleasant. I was able to scrub all the sticky soft touch stuff off with a toothbrush and lots of isopropyl alcohol, and now its a regular plastic handle which is fine. Handle aside, this umbrella umbrellas just fine, and the auto up/auto down work as intended (and are nice to have!) That said though, if I had known about the handle situation before buying I wouldve bought something different.

This is the most amazing umbrella! It opens with the touch of a button to a size big enough for a grown man. The fact that it then closes with just a touch of the same button is even more amazing. People beg to try it for themselves. You do have to shorten the handle and wrap it up in the velcro strap for yourself but come on...it cant do everything. Its small size and discreet carry cover keep you from looking like Mr. French or Mary Poppins. A definite must have for golfers, students, and anyone else who might be caught in the rain! 5 Stars for sure!!!

This umbrella is great - Ive orders about 4 of these over the years and they last a long time and are wind resistant!

Still works well after 1 yr plus.. Closing is abit not as smooth as before but thats due to accidental misuse by friends & family who dont understand auto close n open. Otherwise, it is a great product, will buy again after current one is retired.

Sturdy umbrella, opened it is quite large but folded it is only slightly longer than a compact umbrella. Love that it is auto-close; makes getting in the car much easier. I had a Totes compact umbrella for more than 10 years and it never let me down. Recently left it in a car that I traded in so replaced it with this one. Very satisfied!

I had my previous Totes umbrella which I purchased at Macy’s for 15 years and the automatic open and close snap broke. I ordered this from Amazon and did not even last 6 months. I cannot figure out if Totes has reduced their quality of product or was this a cheap Chinese imitation. Either way sending to Totes for replacement. If it’s a fake Totes I am sure they will let me know. Will update later.
