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

My only complaint about this umbrella is that there is no auto close. It really bothers me. I thought pretty much all totes umbrellas were auto close, but this one is not. Other than that its great. Ive had no issues with the material collecting water or anything. The size is great to stay dry on my walk from the car to the office. The air flow vent is perfect for windy thunderstorms.

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.

Provides a good balance between size when opened and size when closed (can fit in my backpack). I bought a second one because my kid stole my first one, which I received from Totes after a different model failed with little use. Their products have a lifetime warranty and they will honor it. So glad they sent me one of these, because Im totally sold on them now.

A few reviewers said that their umbrella performed a self-destruct the first time it was opened. I decided to give it a chance since Amazon has a good return/exchange policy. Sure enough, right out of the box, first time, it flew apart -- a very effective, somewhat startling self-destruct mechanism -- this is a bit beyond planned obsolescence! Okay, give them a second chance. Easy exchange using UPS labels provided by Amazon. Second one is great (so far). Either bad quality control or a bad batch got through. I dont know if I would have had the patience for a third go at it, but as it is I have a nice umbrella acquired in a mildly inconvenient manner.

If you hate getting wet and need a huge umbrella, this is your umbrella. Covers myself and my gigantic book bag walking to, and between classes. Its vented so it wont get away from you if a large wind comes up. Ive never had an issue with it. If you dont mind carrying a really large umbrella then check this one out.

This is a great umbrella; I ordered two. One for the house and one for my truck. Have used it once and its definitely sturdy and folds down relatively small compared to other umbrellas its size. It is a bit heavy as another reviewer mentioned, but I think that is the trade off to have something so well made. Both me and my husband can walk under it comfortably and not get wet. I ordered the Navy/White combination and I think it has a nice look to it!

Good quality umbrella. Big and sturdy enough to cover two people yet small enough to be portable. Like another reviewer said, its still too big to fit in most backpacks but you can still work around that. Bigger than your typical portable umbrellas and smaller than the big golf umbrellas. I liked the first one I got that I ended up buying another one.

Bought this umbrella for myself and used it twice. I notice that the weather in NY is a lot more extreme than Cali so this umbrella is perfect. I go through so many umbrellas and needed one that fit all the standards requirements to battles with the gusty winds. The auto open button works great when one is coming out of Starbucks in the morning and am holding a coffee with one hand. The vented canopy works great against the strong wind. I bought another one for my friend who lost her umbrella a few months ago as a Christmas gift. She loves it too.

I just received this umbrella today, so it hasnt been rain/wind tested yet. I looked it over, opened it up and inspected it. Everything looks good. No holes, no snags, and no loose pieces. The color was as expected. It feels solid and doesnt feel that heavy to me. Its not as light as a little tote umbrella, but its three times the size! Update: Been in a few rain storms in South Florida and its holding up fine. I dont think its that heavy at all. If Id change anything, Id have made the handle a bit longer. It barely fits in my hand. For an umbrella this big, a longer handle would be nice.

This is a great umbrella. It is the first collapsing umbrella I have found that really holds up to the wind in Chicago. And in case youre wondering, this really does open up to the full size of a golf umbrella. It is a bit longer and heavier than most folding umbrellas, but that is the price you pay for something that is this sturdy and provides maximum protection from the rain. It fits into my backpack with all of the other stuff I cram in there - but I have a large backpack. I have gone through many umbrellas over the years, but I am very happy with this purchase and have no reason to think it wont hold up for a long time.
