totes InBrella Reverse Close Umbrella, Invisible Water Repellent Coating, Auto Close

This umbrella is a great investment. I got tired of getting my jeans wet every time I went inside a car, especially when you are the driver. This was the real reason behind my purchase.

Ive yet to use either of the ones Ive purchased in high-wind scenarios, so Im not sure how windproof they are, but otherwise theyre great!

Very nice looking, well-built umbrella. The material is thick and reinforced (2 layers). Inlike that there is a hooked handle so it can be hung on my arm which frees up my hands. The operation is smooth using a simple up motion and it unfolds with a button. The design is unique and it does stay drier. Like it a lot!

Overall, this appears to be a good, sturdy umbrella. I like the reverse open/close design and the larger size to keep me dry. I am removing stars, however, because I bought the clear version and it seemed extremely dusty and smudged all over…almost as if it had been used. It did not arrive with any type of covering other than what was on the handle. I didn’t expect this with paying full price. Might as well have purchased a used one.

So far so good. Easy to operate for my kids.

I purchased this in anticipation for my move to a coastal area. I was told the winds can be strong and it rains often in my area so I should invest in a strong, high-quality umbrella. After three and a half months of coastal living, I feel like Ive developed a pretty good Pros and Cons list. Pro: - Matches every outfit - Can withstand 25mph winds and NOT flip inside out (unlike my roommates cheap Wal-Mart umbrella) - Easy to see the cyclists who almost run into you (Because its clear!) - Really pretty to watch the rainfall and not get it in your eyes - People look at you in amazement when it reverse opens - It makes a great self-defence weapon in a pinch Con: - Just a little too small, when I walk without any bags its perfect but when I have my bookbag it gets soaked - Cant use it to hide your face when you trip and fall into a massive puddle (Again, because its clear) - Can withstand 25mph winds by catching the wind and pulling you backwards 10 feet down the sidewalk I love my umbrella! Its definitely worth the money (and thats coming from a broke college kid). I had to walk to work in a tropical storm with 25mph + winds and it held together perfectly! My only warning is that because its so strong, itll sometimes catch the wind and, if youre short and small like I am, Itll yank you backwards a few good feet, but it wont flip inside out!

THIS UMBRELLA IS AWESOME DONT BUY ANYOTHER GO WITH THIS ONE YOU WILL LOVE IT TOO GREAT PRICE WELL MADE AND STANDS UP TO ALL I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER THANK YOU SO MUCH I LOVE THAT IT DOSNT EVEN GET YOUR FLOOR WET AFTER GETTING CAUGHT IN THE DOWNPOUR IT FOLDS UP INWARD IT IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST EVER THANK YOU

When in the collapsed configuration I worry that if I am not careful that the tips could easily be bent. It is very sturdy, beautifully decorated and made. You should practice using it before you go out in the rain as it can be confusing. I do love it because once I re-learned how to use an umbrella, it is perfect for getting in and out of the car, and it’s size is wonderful.

I had been considering buying an umbrella like this for sometime. There were so many choices! When I saw that Totes made one, I decided to buy it. I absolutely love it! It does not open automatically, which I would have liked, but opening it manually is no big deal. The design is wonderful! No more getting my clothes or surroundings wet from the wet umbrella. Plus, it stands up by itself! It is well made and appears very sturdy.

New take on rain equipment. Havent had an umbrella with a handle for years!
