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

My husband researched umbrellas and landed on buying two of these. They seem like great quality! They aren’t too heavy, and they feel durable. We haven’t had any issues with the opening/closing mechanism. They are nice and large for two newlyweds to snuggle under—and now for keeping my baby bump well protected from the rain. :)

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!

Finally retired my last totes umbrella after 14 years of dependable service in Miamis tropical climate. Its a little smelly, a little bent, but mostly functional so itll sit as backup in the car. This new one feels comparable in build and quality and has already kept me dry in a couple unexpected late-season squalls. The size of this umbrella is its strength, and they only minor complaint I have is that the spring inside to extend it from its collapsed position is too weak, needs a little help to self-open.

It works. It is the perfect size for me at 6 1. It is the first time Im not all wet even though I am carry an umbrella. I havent had any problems yet with the wind. I havent had it long enough to know if meets all my expectations yet. It is a full sized golf umbrella that telescopes out. It still doesnt fully fit into my timbuktu bag and it is a little heavy. I think for the price, it was a great purchase and I will buy it again when this umbrella stops working.

This is a great umbrella. It is a perfect size for my preference: big enough to cover me while Im commuting and wearing a backpack, but not too big to be unwieldy in the street or cumbersome to carry closed. It is also solidly built and has been able to stand-up to some pretty strong wind gusts. You do have to be careful though, because it is a large umbrella, the wind can pull you a bit when its open. My only wish for additional features would be an auto-close button, which I mistakenly assumed this model had. More of an oversight on my part than a drawback on the umbrella.

Ive owned several Totes umbrellas. They are stylish and have an easy open button. I especially like the ones with a vented canopy. It helps to keep the umbrella from turning inside out when the winds are strong. This umbrella is larger than the other one I own, which makes it easier to share. It comes with a handy cover to protect it. I am planning to order another one in a different color.

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

This is the second totes golf umbrella Ive purchased. I had the previous one for 2 years but I lost it on the train. It was such a sturdy, reliable, big, and compact umbrella I knew I had to get the same one to replace it. Fantastic!

This is the best umbrella! Big, sturdy, doesnt flip inside out in the wind, easy to open and close, and has a comfortable handle. Its a bit heavier, so it can be tiring if youre carrying a lot and trying to hold the umbrella as well, or lugging it around with you after the rain stops. It is also pretty long when closed - doesnt fit in my backpack or most purses. Still my favorite umbrella.

If I could give this umbrella TEN STARS, I would. Its definitely the best Ive ever owned and Im writing this review several years after my purchase. This thing will endure all but the strongest gusts of wind with no problems. Even on the rare occasion that it flips, it has always gone right back into place with no visible or functional damage. Its very large, so it will work for two people or give full complete coverage to one in most conditions (obviously when the rain is coming down at a sharp angle your legs will get wet). You definitely have to sacrifice in terms of portability to get such a high quality umbrella, but I can actually fit this into some of my larger handbags. The only possible negative is that its too big for super crowded streets. However, I rarely have a problem in Philadelphia, so most people should be perfectly fine. I stand away from the crowd at the busiest bus stops or whatever, but I can still easily pass people on the sidewalk just by moving aside or tilting it slightly for a moment.
