totes InBrella Reverse Close Umbrella, Invisible Water Repellent Coating, Auto Close

Love the concept. I returned it because it wasnt big enough to cover me plus backpack. I like that the ribs wont get caught in my hair. And of course that the rain stays inside one folded down after use. Kind of cool that it can stand by itself. And its pretty inside and out when in use.

The inverse deign is awkward looking. I had three coworkers come up to me and ask if my umbrella was okay (lol). In addition, totes clear umbrella seems to not be as sturdy as their color options. Would pass unless you have other inverted umbrella and like the design.

I purchased this in anticipation for my move to a coastal area. I was told the winds can be strong and it rains often in my area so I should invest in a strong, high-quality umbrella. After three and a half months of coastal living, I feel like Ive developed a pretty good Pros and Cons list. Pro: - Matches every outfit - Can withstand 25mph winds and NOT flip inside out (unlike my roommates cheap Wal-Mart umbrella) - Easy to see the cyclists who almost run into you (Because its clear!) - Really pretty to watch the rainfall and not get it in your eyes - People look at you in amazement when it reverse opens - It makes a great self-defence weapon in a pinch Con: - Just a little too small, when I walk without any bags its perfect but when I have my bookbag it gets soaked - Cant use it to hide your face when you trip and fall into a massive puddle (Again, because its clear) - Can withstand 25mph winds by catching the wind and pulling you backwards 10 feet down the sidewalk I love my umbrella! Its definitely worth the money (and thats coming from a broke college kid). I had to walk to work in a tropical storm with 25mph + winds and it held together perfectly! My only warning is that because its so strong, itll sometimes catch the wind and, if youre short and small like I am, Itll yank you backwards a few good feet, but it wont flip inside out!

Bought this specifically for use at an outdoor wedding that occurred on a day with rain in the forecast. This was perfect as it kept my boyfriend and I dry during the intermittent spells of rain without being too much of an eyesore in photos. Love!

It is definately only big enough for one person but its nice. When you need to angle it for driving rain (already did) you can still see in that direction. useful to maintain sight :) I would love a giant version of the same maybe twice the diameter, but it serves to replace an umbrella whos latching mechanism has been broken.

I only buy totes umbrellas. This is my first inverted one. It’s well made & sturdy. No worries about it flipping out in strong wind. I only wish that opened & closed with the push button. Oddly enough the button only closes umbrella. You manually have to open it, which is a PITA when trying to get out of a car & not get rained on.

I really loved getting this umbrella! Im actually excited for it to rain. The only thing that slightly bothers me is that the strap hangs on the inside of the umbrella since it closes from the inside out which makes sense, but I can simply turn my umbrella around so it doesnt hang in front of me. Great buy, I highly recommend!

The umbrella itself is fine. Feels decently sturdy, but definitely not worth it at this price point. Feels like any old $10 umbrella youd get at Walmart. My biggest gripe with this umbrella is the obnoxious stickers they plaster all over the thing as if its your first time ever encountering an umbrella. I would say 99% of people could figure out how to open and close an umbrella without step by step instructions. And even if you did need instructions, why not included that on a piece of paper instead of sticking on stickers with industrial grade adhesives? Its nearly impossible to take these stickers off without leaving behind a ton of super sticky grime on the handle and mechanism. I spent a good 10 minutes using goo gone and paper towels trying to take it all off. It got to the point where I was removing the protective matte finish before I could even get the sticky residue off. Very annoying and frustrating, and its still sticky!

This is a glam umbrella that has kept me dry in soggy weather. It does weigh more - or at least feels more weighty - than the other reverse close umbrellas that Ive used. This does mean that I am less likely to grab it if Im going for a long walk.

Ive never spent a lot on an umbrella, but this was well worth it. I love the inverted design and wish Id bought one sooner! This makes it so much easier to get in and out of the car when my arms are full. It opens and closes like a dream (I love the push-button close), the materials are durable, and the overall design is well-made. I bought a second one as a white elephant gift and it was stolen several times. Im officially an inverted umbrella convert!
