Totes NeverWet technology, Auto Open Auto Close, Black 43 arc Umbrella, Medium

Love the pattern

Love this umbrella! Besides being beautiful it opens and closes so easily! It’s on the smaller size but to keep in your car for errands on a rainy day, it’s perfect!!!

I have had lots of umbrellas in my time but this is the first automatic one I have found that opens and CLOSES automatically.

I dont know if it has sun protection. I bought it for the rain protection :). I love the sturdiness of Totes umbrellas - and the auto up and auto down - and the print is pretty! I wish they had a small purse size umbrella - that would be perfect!

LOOKS GOOD

I didnt buy it for sun protection. I bought because of one handed operation when Im out a nd about doing errands in my motorized wheelchair. Here in Florida you always have pop-up showers.

Thumbs up all around for this multi-featured umbrella. What I Like: — First of all, leopard! It looks so great with my black raincoat. Love! — The auto-open is very handy (although it makes the umbrella slightly heavier than those without that feature) and the auto-close is even better. Besides making me laugh at the surprise of its suddenness, the auto-close makes the job of collapsing these types of umbrellas much, much less of a fuss. It only auto-closes the canopy (the top part), but you still have to pull the pole down manually to close it. — I am a big fan of the NeverWet coating on newer Totes umbrellas. It really works. I have a smaller Totes umbrella that has it and it repels water so well that it is virtually dry before I get it folded up. — Sunguard! UPF 50+ sun protection. Living in southern California, a sun-protective umbrella is a must, particularly when attending outdoor sporting and other events. It not only protects you from the sun, but it is so much cooler underneath the umbrella than if you are just wearing a hat and sunglasses. Parasols (para = for, sol = sun) used to be a thing for use under on sun days, and considering what we now know about skin damage from the sun, it would seem that they should become a thing again in places beyond just SoCal. — The stretchy handle strap makes it easy to secure in places where plain straps cant. — It slips easily back in its matching bag without the usual struggle. — Its a one person umbrella, but can fit two heads in a pinch - just not two complete sets of shoulders. What I Dont Like: — Wrapping it all the way up takes a little more effort than does my other Totes umbrella. I like the fact that the Velcro closure is so wide, but it could have been about 1/4 longer. The Velcro parts barely overlap each other. — Its a little long for any purse I have. Longer than I expected, so measure before you buy. Bottom line:This is the umbrella that will definitely go on every trip from now on, plus become the go-to on days where either too much rain or too much sun is forecast.

The Totes Womens Sunguard One-Touch Auto Open Umbrella is a handy addition to my wife’s carry-on bag. The outside of the umbrella is coated with Neverwet, that sheds water very well but does not add noticeable weight. The 41 inch diameter canopy has good protection even in the afternoon downpours we have here in South Carolina. It also blocks harmful UV rays and does not transmit a lot of heat when used as a sunshade. The Gradiated Stripe design is nice looking with repeating patterns of color stripes. The Totes is strengthened by 8 struts that are reinforced in the center of the canopy and have folding strut extensions out toward the perimeter that provide eaves that block wind. The end points of the strut extensions are double stitched to the canopy fabric. The 20 inches high center pole has three connected metal sections that are strong and provide a telescoping function that reduces the closed unit to 11 inches. A pink button allows the user to open the umbrella with one push while grasping a plastic handle that has two finger grips and a hand loop. A 3 inches wide Velcro flap closes the folded canopy into a 2.5 inches in diameter bundle. We have bought good Totes before, and this one is even better.

while this umbrella does automatically close, it will not open unless it is closed and then folded all the way down and then reopened. its extra cumbersome that i cant just automatically close it, put it on the floor of the car, and then reopen it as i exit the car. you need to close it and then also compact it before it will open again... i convenience of the automatic close is offset by the fact you need to then fumble with a wet umbrella to fold it down before you can use it again.

This is a very nice umbrella. I bought it for sun protection as it claims it reduces the heat by quite a bit. But, I havent had a chance to use it yet.
