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

The fixture that I like the most in this Totes umbrella is the auto open and close. It it extremely easy to operate with just one button, works great. It size is perfect to save it in my car door for when I need it. I have used it in pretty windy days and it has been holding fine. Colors are vibrant. Update: Ive been using this umbrella for about 2 years now. Auto open/close still works with no problems. A little piece of the canopy got detached from the rest of the umbrella on a really windy day but the rest is still holding up.

LOOKS GOOD

It’s cute and fast shipping

I could not find my Totes umbrella and knew I needed to replace it as we approached our rainy season. I decided to order this exact duplicate or my prior Totes umbrella and am thankful. These stand up to wind gusts that come with our rains here in SE Florida, where other umbrellas easily flip inside-out, and these do not. Let it rain!

Broke after using twice!

Ive used Totes umbrellas for years, but keep losing them because I always insisted on getting black ones like everyone else. The leopard spot print is a great alternative, and so much easier to find in the sea of black umbrellas. The auto-open and -close function works smoothly, the action is springy without being too tight, and the umbrella is lightweight. The handle is pretty short, so I wouldnt expect to share this umbrella with someone I wasnt comfortable snuggling up to. I like that the velcro closure is much wider than the usual little strip, so this umbrella ends up closing more completely and securely. I havent had a chance to use this in heavy winds, so Ill update this review if I have any problems. It doesnt seem especially heavy-duty, so Im not sure it would be my first choice for Chicago or other windy places. But for travel and occasional use, Im very glad to keep this on-hand.

It fit in my backpack easily. I’ve used this twice, once in the rain and once for sun blocking. The button to open and close was very difficult to press when my hands and the handle were both wet, as was getting it to lock in place. When I used it next, the were already two holes in the fabric. Sheesh.

Weve had a lot of rain these past couple of weeks and so I have had many opportunities to try this umbrella out. I was very intrigued with its claims that water just rolls off it and it doesnt stay wet like most umbrellas. I hate dealing with a wet umbrella! Now many stores have plastic bags for your umbrellas when you enter. I have been pretty impressed with the Never Wet coating that is on this umbrella. It really does work. Its significantly drier than traditional umbrellas. Its not perfectly dry, but the difference is definitely noticeable. Its not dripping wet. The one push button works as expected. I really like the stretchy bungy type cord handle. I will have to look for the Never Wet feature the next time I need to purchase an umbrella.

Dont buy any other umbrella but tote love this product. Very strong

The umbrella is easy to open and close and compact enough to carry in my purse when not in use.
