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

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!

Great umbrella for when you need something that provides a lot of coverage but packs up in a portable package. I decided to buy this since my city gets pretty windy when it rains, so smaller umbrellas were just leaving my pants entirely soaked. At the same time, I needed something a little more portable since I like to carry my umbrella in my bag whenever the forecast suggests it might rain. This umbrella fairs perfectly in the stopping water from touching you from above category, as do most other umbrellas. This one has the significant advantage of being huge and being able to cover you, your personal items/bags, and one other person and their belongings comfortably. In fact, you can easily squeeze three people under it and not get wet if you dont have any belongings. You get all that coverage AND it packs up into the size of a regular small folding umbrella. However, since its that large and folds, its a little weak when it comes to wind. I often feel it moving in my hands when Im walking in wind, and anything more than 10-15 mph winds will be hard to hold it up straight in. So far, Ive had it flip inside-out 4 times, so I have to admit that its not the greatest umbrella to bring out on a windy day. However, I have to admit that Ive never had an umbrella collapse on me 4 times and still keep working. Perfectly. Without any issues. Even the auto open/close. So its tough. Buy this, but not if your city is very windy.

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

Great Umbrella!

Its definitely not one of those umbrellas you buy from a street vendor, but from Totes, Id expect better. It was probably the second or third time using the umbrella when one of the support arms swung down and hit me in the head. When I inspected it closely, one of those super weak looking eyelets had broken and a portion of the support arm came loose and swung down. I was going to go through the whole return process but learned it takes WEEKS and actually costs you money to ship the FAULTY umbrella back! I just used some pliers and threaded a sturdy paper clip through where the eyelet was, bent down the ends and clipped off the extra. Good as new, no, probably better than new as I fully expect other eyelets to break. So far, after a few months, no more have broken but this thing carries a lifetime warranty. Youd expect it to be made better.

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.

Sadly this umbrella did not hold up; it broke during the first use rendering me partially protected

I love this umbrella, I have three of these. The span of the umbrella is perfect; its big enough where Im covered even when its a down pour, but small enough where I dont feel like I have to constantly adjust for other pedestrians in NYC. The auto open and close feature makes this umbrella so easy to handle. The only thing that could improve this umbrella is if it had that extra wind resistant layer on top.

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!

I like everything about it I have one before that’s why I bought it. Excellent product and excellent service from Amazon.
