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

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

This is the most amazing umbrella! It opens with the touch of a button to a size big enough for a grown man. The fact that it then closes with just a touch of the same button is even more amazing. People beg to try it for themselves. You do have to shorten the handle and wrap it up in the velcro strap for yourself but come on...it cant do everything. Its small size and discreet carry cover keep you from looking like Mr. French or Mary Poppins. A definite must have for golfers, students, and anyone else who might be caught in the rain! 5 Stars for sure!!!

2021 update: The umbrella is still incredible. No bends, no fraying, no rips. The open close mechanism works smoothly even after 2 years. The handle material is not holding up well though. I store it indoors with normal temperatures, I dont think it has even been left in a hot car once, but for some reason the handle is deteriorating. It is sticky with a very noticeable residue left on the hand afterwards and it has collected lint and dirt that cant be cleaned off. It seems like a bad batch of plastic/rubber to me, and if the umbrella wasnt so great Id probably replace it just to not have to deal with the handle. Original review: Im 63, I bought this umbrella to replace an older version of this same model by Totes, the one Im replacing lasted for almost 5 years before I broke one of the rivets folding it up. Ive had a few dozen umbrellas and almost every one of them was too small to keep my legs dry while walking in the rain. This Totes umbrella folds down to about the same size as a normal umbrella, but it has a MUCH larger diameter which lets me take full strides while walking without my feet and legs getting wet from the rain and dripping off the edges of the umbrella. It also does a great job keeping my backpack dry as the bag is entirely under the umbrella so rain doesnt drip down the edges of the umbrella onto the bag.

Free umbrella broke after 14 years, had to pony up some money. A site I love for quality products highly recommend 2 umbrellas. I wanted the other one, but was not going to spend $49. So bought this one. Arrived today and I was surprised with how much you get for $23. First off, it is the thickest, sturdiest umbrella I have had in my hands. Next you open it up and the size of the umbrella is extremely suprising for how compact it is. So overall this is a great buy for the money. Only bad part, it was manufactured in China. But it does have lifetime warranty. So buy it online, and it will store the receipt for life. Something happens print the receipt and send it back.

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

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.

Been a fan of these umbrellas because they are compact enough to store in my backpack without adding significant weight. They are durable as I have owned one for at least 2 years before having issues and the fact that Totes offers a lifetime warranty on these makes these a smart buy. It’s been years since I bought a new umbrella. Whenever my umbrella starts having an issue, I send it, my warranty tag, located inside the umbrella, along with a $5 money order to Totes for shipping and they send a replacement.

Works great so far. Ive only used it a couple times. Perfectly replaces an old similar size umbrella I had that developed holes in the canopy. I dont know that Id call it golf size, but it is a canopy that could be sized for two persons, or its a generous size for one person. At the same time, it folds down almost as much as my other totes with the smaller canopy. Glad it was available in lovely, light blue! The handle is fully covered in rubber-like material, so its very grippy. The open-close mechanism operates smoothly. Measures 50 diameter straight across from spoke tip to spoke tip. Measures 47 diameter straight across from flat side panel to flat side panel. Canopy measurement, I feel, is somewhat irrelevant, as long as you have the straight-across diameter measure(s).

I love this umbrella! I had three same one for about 4 years before I finally left it someplace and had to replace it. It does everything you could want in a compact umbrella: folks up small and opens big. It fits readily in my briefcase. Pushbutton open and close is super convenient when you only have one free hand. Extremely durable and made from quality materials. Its worth a few extras bucks over the cheap substitutes you can buy on the street.

Lasted a season, maybe two, before it broke. Submitted a warranty claim which involves mailing a form with a portion of the umbrella cut off and included. Never received any replacement or correspondence back from Totes after several months. I would not trust their warranty claim, and will look for a more durable umbrella.
