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

Seemed kind of thin.

Handle is a little too round, large umbrella though

Ordered this for the curved handle and the inverted style. First umbrella arrived, but wouldnt open. Taking a closer look, the shaft on the inside of the canopy was smashed with a similar look to a chewed on straw. Amazon returns was fantastic as always and immediately shipped a new one to me the day I reported it. New one came in 2 days and works as expected. So definitely check the function right after opening. Handle is nice, made with a grippy rubber-like coating that feels good in the hand. Canopy is great as the inversion limits any exposure to water when closing. Push button to close is snappy and makes for easy entry into vehicles. Button does not function to open the umbrella and opening manually does take a little effort to combat the spring used for the closing button. Durability is TBD. Will have to see how long the canopy stays on the ribs which seems to be the fatal flaw in all umbrellas.

I only buy totes umbrellas. This is my first inverted one. It’s well made & sturdy. No worries about it flipping out in strong wind. I only wish that opened & closed with the push button. Oddly enough the button only closes umbrella. You manually have to open it, which is a PITA when trying to get out of a car & not get rained on.

The price quality and aesthetics of this a paramount kinda crazy it was this price

Am still absolutely enamored of this umbrella. Opening your view of the surroundings during a rainstorm completely changes the way you feel about rainy days. There is a little bit of cornstarch or something between the two layers of plastic, and it seems to be clouding the surface just a little, but its not enough to affect my love of it. Its a little startling when it closes away from you, throwing water the correct way when it closes. Absolutely brilliant design, and the fun factor cant be beat! You also dont block the view of other people so much, either. Win win. Get yourself one--you wont be sorry!

Great

Our daughter is a photographer and wanted a clear umbrella for a session she was doing outdoors when there were chances of rain. I ordered this, but it won’t work for pictures. It’s so big and nice that I decided to keep it for a family umbrella though! It has worked perfectly when we’ve needed it!

I never thought I would write a review raving about how much I love this umbrella! I always hated using one until we moved to a new area where it rains often. So I took it to Amazon and scrolled and this one caught my eye. Reading reviews I decided to purchase and I’m so glad I did. I get compliments on it too! I love that it closes with the inside out(especially while getting in and out of the car), I love that it can stand on it’s on, i love the curved handle( can hang on a shopping cart), i love how easy it is to use, I love the clear material (my kids love that too!) I already bought another for my kids and a black/grey for my husband!

I like the good coverage from the size and shape, and the clear material makes it easy to see as I make my way around in the rain. So far seems strong and durable too.
