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

I like this umbrella - it is a golf-sized umbrella, but retracts to a size that is small enough to carry in a briefcase / backpack. I am hard on umbrellas, though and I worry that Totes got this combination by using as thin a gauge of metal for the spokes and handle as possible - it feels flimsier than other Totes umbrellas Ive purchased. (I think Totes is one of those companies that will warrant their products with a lifetime guarantee - Ive had the opportunity to avail myself of this with Totes, but I only feel comfortable with one replacement per one item purchased; you cant expect too much from an umbrella, after all.

Not the smallest umbrella you will find but for me it hits that sweet spot between too small to do any real good when open and too large to be practical for anything this side of dueling. Opens to a size large enough to give a decent-sized guy and his bag satisfactory coverage, but can still be tucked in a larger backpack or strapped to the side of messenger bag. Construction is solid, handled windy days well enough, strong seems, smooth mechanisms and thicker fabric.

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

looks and feels very solid; have not tested the durability in wind yet.

Bought it for mum she loves it nice and compact but big enough for heavy rain

A bit bigger then the regular Totes which serves us well as my wife is in a wheelchair. That said it folds up nicely and is easy to carry and store.

As I said in the headline: Its a Totes...Nuff said.

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 love this umbrella, it is the second one I bought. I only think that the handle should be better in terms of quality When time pass it get sticky as a lot of plastic do

Still works well after 1 yr plus.. Closing is abit not as smooth as before but thats due to accidental misuse by friends & family who dont understand auto close n open. Otherwise, it is a great product, will buy again after current one is retired.
