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

Nothing like a totes umbrella. I found they are long lasting & sturdy on a regular rainy day. It did flip inside out in a windy rainstorm, BUT it didnt break in any way. I flipped it back down without issue. I have another totes umbrella that Ive had for 10 years! Its a little dirty, but still works perfectly. Push the button to open & push the button to close. This works great if your other hand is full.

this is my second one of these... my first one lasted 3 years of regular use, and would have lasted longer if i didnt set it on the floor to dry and if i hadnt destroyed the poor thing going out into a wind-storm to get a picture of a rainbow. oh well. im hoping to get 4 years out of this one, if i can remember not to set it on the floor for drying. this is the biggest canopy for the most compact umbrella that i could find. im 2m in height, and no other travel umbrella is worth it for me - i end up with a wet left arm, and soaked legs from the knees down. this opens into a proper golf-sized umbrella, but still manages to fold up and easily fit into my backpack. that being said, dont expect it to win any weight competitions... youll know youre carrying it. the little elastic wrist strap is kind of a joke, and i feel like the handle was a nicer rubber on the first one i had. but what can you do for under $30?

Its been almost a year since I bought this and so far its excellent. its really big, but compact when collapsed, its as big as my forearm and can be carried easily in a backpack. BUILD QUALITY: 10/10. Top notch. Stainless steel armature, rubber handle for a good grip. Overall, well made assuring it will last much longer than other cheap umbrellas. PORTABILITY: 8/10: Well, its a big umbrella so its heavier than others. But giving its size, it collapses really well. EASE OF USE: 9/10: Really, how hard is it to use an umbrella? Anyway, it opens from the press of a button and collapses the same way, you need to manually pull the runner to shorten the shaft at its default compact position, its a little tougher than other umbrellas though. VALUE: 10/10: For less than $30 its a great value. You can share the umbrella with someone else, even a group of 4 can be inside it. The build quality will make this awesome umbrella last for several years!

I usually use the golf umbrellas by Totes which are very sturdy with a big canopy, however I sometimes nee a more portable version which is why I tried this one. I find it very lightweight and handy, and while not as sturdy as the golf one, its sturdy enough.

It’s very sturdy and gives you great coverage while out in the rain.

umrella cant handle the wind..not sure if this was a knock off because I used to have an umbrella by this company and it was good.

It works beautifully -- and its big enough actually keep a person dry in a rain storm. The auto open/close is not just nice to have, it is a wonderful necessity.

Great umbrella. Its small enough to throw into my purse when its closed but then big enough to cover two people when open.

Difficult to close with wet hands on a rainy day. Also a hazard is opens too quickly.

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.
