totes Unisex Auto Open J-Handle Stick ECO Umbrella

This umbrella arrived bent and broken so I was not able to test it out. I do not think the material was very strong otherwise it would have withstood the shipping experience. I returned it and decided not to try another one.

Call me an optimist for ordering an umbrella in California, in the summertime, in the midst of an historic drought, but I had not been able to find an umbrella with the classic bent handle (which makes for easy carrying), and I was intrigued by the idea of the NeverWet coating. The umbrella opens smoothly with the push of a button, closes to a slim, compact profile, and based on a little testing with a garden hose, the NeverWet coating works quite well.

This Totes Umbrella delivers on its promise! It does stay drier than other umbrellas. It looks well made, holds up well in a good breeze and I expect will do well for the long haul. The only concern I have is how long the Never Wet coating will last.

Great umbrella for around $20. The material sheds water very well, and requires only a couple shakes to get rid of almost all the moisture. One star deduction for the collapsing of the canopy requiring a bit of finesse and the handle not feeling more substantial. Again, great value for a semi-cheap umbrella.

-Fantastic umbrella! -I love the cute pattern. -Very easy to use. Nothing to dislike!

Great umbrella

This is a durable umbrella. It has held up to torrential rains better than any I have owned.

This came just in the nick of time---- we had horrible weather here in South Carolina last week. This is a full size umbrella so I get complete coverage in a storm. Opens beautifully. Looks professional, but a little fun, too, with the tiny polka dots.

The overall look of the umbrella is very nice. Sort of classic and formal. It is extremely light weight, which surprised me. The auto open feature is really nice (and something I have been spoiled with by my other umbrella) and makes it so much easier when you are carrying something in your other hand (or when I take my dog out in the rain). As the description claims, it does not get as wet as standard umbrellas, though I still had a small puddle underneath it when I came in--smaller than usual, so thats a plus. It dried quicker too. However, the umbrella is not very big. It can cover one person, as long as the rain isnt blowing very much. My legs still got a little wet, even with the generous canopy in the description. I wouldnt describe the size as generous. More like average.

This is a very nice umbrella. It was able to withstand strong winds without flipping up. It is Leigh’s weight and easy to carry. I love the design . Living in Florida the frequent unexpected downpours make this umbrella a must havr
