totes Blue Line Golf-Size Vented Canopy Compact Umbrella, Black, One Size

I love this umbrella! Yes, it is HUGE, but because I hate getting rained on, this is the only umbrella that is big enough to keep me completely dry. Im 52 and 100 lbs, so Im not a big person, but normal sized umbrellas just cant block the rain completely, even less so if its rainy and windy. Id say this is big enough to decently cover 3 people my size, or 2 people if walking side by side. It is double vented and very sturdy. My only con for this product is that its heavier than Id like to have to carry around, especially if Im out shopping or running errands. If it ever need another umbrella, I would definitely purchase this again.

Living on the gulf coast we are subject to frequent and heavy thunderstorms. I used my umbrella this week in flash flood weather and it was well balanced and very easy to managed. While my shoes were drenched to the ankle, not a drop got no me or my files as I walked up a slight incline to through the prison gates (I am a lawyer). The auto deployment is smooth and very sturdy and folding it down when I got inside was a breeze. Very compact and well made. Am buying a few more for family and staff!!!

Had my first set stolen from me. Had to reorder two more. Great customer service from Amazon. The umbrellas themselves are amazing. I had the same exact umbrella for over 10 years. I left it behind and it was gone. Im very happy with the newer models. They feel just as good as my old one. They havent changed on quality. The secondary flap is extremely useful for those very windy days. Im a big guy. 64 290 lbs and Im able to stay dry under this. It opens to a great size. But still fits inside my backpack.

This arrived on time and well packaged. It is very handsome. But, while I do need a large canopy umbrella, I imagine that over the course of say ..... 20 minutes, this will be too heavy for me to manage. I am a woman and thought I would give the umbrella a try knowing that it is advertised a mens tote. I cannot speak to how it held up in rain or wind or repelling rain off of the material. I returned it post haste thanks to Amazon. But, it sure is nice looking. Thank you!!

Quality construction, sturdy and does pretty good in reasonable wind (read less than 20mph, I havent had the pleasure of using it in higher wind). I would gladdly buy it again if I managed to lose it. The size is large enough that two people can easily use it at the same time. The automatic opening action, a feature that I didnt think that I needed is actually pretty darn handy when your other hand is occupied with coffee or a bag, etc. Edit 7/8/2015: So the rivets have started to fail at the edge of the umbrella. This does not render the umbrella useless, however there is a noticeable droop on two of the edges. Im still fairly happy with the umbrella, but this does take away from its ability to last. My rating has changed from 5 stars to 3. Two years old shouldnt be failing this quickly. (I always leave it open to dry after use.) Edit 10/2/2015: No longer impressed. Too much money spent on an umbrella that failed after two years of light use. I can No longer recommend this umbrella.

Durable. Takes a little strength to close.

Tote products are awesome. This umbrella fits me and one extra person perfectly . Does not break easily when heavy winds hit

I live in Chicago the windy city and today it live up to its reputation. I work downtown also I walk about 5 blocks to my train the wind was blowing and the rain coming down in all directions, my Totes umbrella bear the storm. Since purchasing mine I have bought one for a co-worker and my sister and both love this umbrella. If you looking for a great umbrella this is what you want to buy, thank you Totes

*Unusual for such a compact umbrella: its high quality gust buster dual canopy holds up very well in strong winds. *Nice padded rubberized handle. *One-handed push-button operation opens reliably when youre holding stuff in other hand and rain is pouring down. *Broad coverage, yet folds compact for stowing in briefcase or backpack. *Red and Black is very visible in crosswalks on dark, rainy Boston days.

Nice! Its not a mini umbrella but isnt huge, either. It wont fit in a briefcase. Its solid and well made. I had my first use with it when I got out of my car at the waterfront with 34mph gusts -- the wind hit the inside of the umbrella, and it didnt turn inside out. Thats all I need.
