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

Its sturdy and big enough... but heavy

This umbrella is very nice. Its larger than most of the folding umbrellas but fits nicely in my backpack. I gave it only four stars for two reasons. One, its not really golf size. Two, the metal framework could be a little sturdier, but none of the folding umbrellas are any better. Dont let these two comments deter you from getting one of these. If you like to carry a folding umbrella, this one is a good choice. Yes, I would buy it again.

I needed a compact collapsible umbrella that I could toss on the side of my backpack; golf umbrellas are cumbersome to carry. This is one of the few large collapsible umbrellas, and while the build quality is very good, there are a few flaws. 1. The main problem is that its not vented, and for an umbrella this big, it means that it gets blown around in the wind a lot. The umbrella can catch even mild gusts of wind and drag you a bit. This kind of makes you feel like youre carrying a big sail, even when theres mild wind. During gusts, I can only point this thing toward the direction of the wind and hope for the best. 2. Due to wind, one of the supports on the umbrella broke during use (thanks Amazon for the prompt attention to this). 3. Warranty. There is a great lifetime warranty, but it costs $5, plus your cost of shipping, and a wait of 2–6 weeks, to get a replacement item. Not worth it, Id say, unless if you have another umbrella to hold you over for 2–6 weeks. Im on the lookout for another one, but this thing works well enough that its the best option out there for a large collapsible umbrella.

I bought the tote golf size because two of my previous umbrella broke after several blow of strong winds. I love the size and strength of the tote umbrella.

I received this umbrella just in time for the storm. It worked great. Highly recommend

I bought one of these in 2013 (right) and another in 2022 (left). The only difference between them is that the velcro strap now has a totes tag on the end of it. The skeleton structure is identical and is even stamped with the same ENSON-D4 part number. I replaced mine because the rubberized handle degraded and became sticky. Sitting in my car for nine years no doubt had something to do with it. Id have no reason to replace the old model if not for the handle. The mechanisms work, the canopy is flawless, and the skeleton is sound. Angle it into the wind and Id say youll have a great umbrella for about 8 years.

I love this umbrella, I have three of these. The span of the umbrella is perfect; its big enough where Im covered even when its a down pour, but small enough where I dont feel like I have to constantly adjust for other pedestrians in NYC. The auto open and close feature makes this umbrella so easy to handle. The only thing that could improve this umbrella is if it had that extra wind resistant layer on top.

Nothing like a totes umbrella. I found they are long lasting & sturdy on a regular rainy day. It did flip inside out in a windy rainstorm, BUT it didnt break in any way. I flipped it back down without issue. I have another totes umbrella that Ive had for 10 years! Its a little dirty, but still works perfectly. Push the button to open & push the button to close. This works great if your other hand is full.

I dont think its as big as a golf umbrella. Seems pretty well built

Difficult to close with wet hands on a rainy day. Also a hazard is opens too quickly.
