totes Automatic Eco Open Close Water-Resistant Travel Folding Umbrella with Sun Protection

It is decent but not as easy to open and close as I hoped

43 canopy...2 person coverage description totally misleading. Mine is 36 in diameter, and only one person can be covered. This is the last Totes product for me.

Kind of broke after 1st use. Surprising for a Totes product.

This umbrella is fairly compact. Folded up, its about a foot in length and can fit in a large purse.Theres a large button that you press to fully and instantly open the umbrella. You also use it to close it, although the rod doesnt retract - you need to push it down. I dont know how strong a wind it can withstand, but the spokes are designed to have some give so instead of breaking, they bend. I had the umbrella in a downpour to test its advertised drying ability. I shook off the water and in about 3 minutes it was dry! Nice.

Dries fast but not sturdy in any wind.

Love this umbrella

I’ve never had this problem with any umbrella, but after using it once I could not close it. My husband also tried and nothing worked. Even worse, hard to return an unclosed umbrella.

Its been raining like crazy in Oklahoma and this umbrella is a life saver.....litereally!!

Perfect for my kids backpacks and easy to use

This is a terrific portable umbrella. Folded and in its sleeve it will fit in a medium-sized purse. Its lightweight and extremely water resistant. The moisture just rolls right off and the material seems dry! Unfolded its a full sized black umbrella covered with a pattern of raindrops in blue, yellow, red, green and purple. There is a shortish (3) textured handle with an elastic hoop for hanging and a push button to open. Closing the umbrella by clicking it back into place isnt TOO difficult but its probably too much for a child or frail older person. The best part is that the umbrella has an SPF 50+ and protects you in rain or sun.
