Totes Blue Line Golf Size Auto Open/Close Umbrella, Water Repellent Canopy, Black

This umbrella should go for half its price. Its a cheaply made umbrella that Im guessing will not last more than a few months. Every part of this umbrella shakes and jiggles right out of the box. Theres definitely better out there.

Came in timely manner. Great quality and the person I bought it for has enjoyed it!

Well made for the price, it’s a bit heavy and not too compact.

Great umbrella! I was looking for a compact umbrella that still offered a large coverage area and this one definitely does. I have never accidentally hit the button to close it on me and have never had an issue with wind. It seems very strong as I have had to use it in a few windy situations, but it always holds up well. It easily covers me and my son and is small enough to fit in the back pocket of my car seat. No complaints!

The umbrella is keeps most of my 6 foot tall body dry, collapses small enough to fit in the space between the drivers door and the front car seat.

Smooth opening/closing mechanism. Sturdy and durable, as well as great coverage. I would definitely buy another one if needed.

I had grown tired of relying on a compact folding umbrella. While a compact umbrella folded away nicely into my work bag, it simply wasnt wide enough to shield all of me from the rain. Worse, if I tried to orient the umbrella to cover my shoulders and self all the way, my work bag hanging off my shoulder and to the side would get wet. So I decided to err.. splurge $23 on this umbrella. And I can safely say Im satisfied. The best thing about this umbrella is how it opens up to a generous, all-encompassing golf size, and yet folds into a length thats not much longer than a compact umbrella. The 14.5 folded size fits very easily into my laptop bag (which is supped to house up to a 15 laptop). The fabric is certainly waterproof, the handle seems solid, and the open/close button mechanism seems reliable. The only thing I wished they improve is the slight looseness or play exhibited by the tensioned open/close mechanism (cicular part you hold and pull down to close the umbrella to folding height). Theres a certain springiness to it as I walk around that gives me the feeling it might turn rickety one day. But so far it works well and keeps my dry without me having to constantly aim the umbrella over myself. PROS: + The open size is spacious, and the folded size is easy to tote around + Push-button for open/close is convenient + Distinct blue colour looks nice CONS: - Open/close mechanism feels a little loose

This Tote Auto Open - Auto Close Umbrella works really well. I have tried many umbrellas claiming open/close features that only opened. This does both well and has held up for months. It is perfect for one person and good for two people. It can store in a briefcase.

I needed an umbrella that would not let the rain drip on my back and feet. This umbrella does the job perfectly. You know it works when people ask you where you got it. However... Today, for the first time, I was using the umbrella while running errands. As I was getting back into my car, I pressed the close button and then tried to pull the black part down the shaft to lock it in the closed position. As I was almost at the bottom, the umbrella popped back out, cutting my fingers in several places. Use care when closing the umbrella because the arms are not very well finished and can cause paper cut wounds or worse if you are not careful. I am saddened to report that after 5 months, the thread holding one of the arms in place has broken and there are two spots where the material has worn through or been punctured.
