totes InBrella Reverse Closing Folding Umbrella – Inverted Closure Compact Umbrella – Portable, Windproof Rain-resistant Travel Umbrella with Recycled Canopy, Automatic Open and Close

It flipped up on me once but since then it’s been great

This does the job. I like the large rubberized handle. It still could use some improvement but overall worth the price.

I have not had much of a chance to use it yet. I thought it had a white back ground by the online picture but it is light blue.

Totes figured it out. This umbrella has a great design with a super easy one-button function - Totes InBrella - Reverse Folding Umbrella - Cloud. There is a very wide (2.75”) easy-to-maneuver Velcro strap to keep things in place. A button push snaps things open, and another button push snaps things closed. When closed it’s the same small profile of a regular Totes, the spines collapse, but now the material folds in not out. The spring is very firm and solid. I’ve had great luck with Totes umbrellas - the handles usually degrade and get tacky before the umbrella mechanism stops working - years later. Cloud is a pretty blue, the cloud design is a blue geometric gradation (similar to a heat-mapping pattern). A slipcover is included.

I hate the boring black umbrella that is ubiquitous in NYC. This is really nice. Pretty yet sturdy.

This is hands down the prettiest umbrella I have ever owned, I have gotten a lot of compliment about it so far. It works well, opens and closes easily with the push of a button. I havent had an issue with it getting stuck. I live in an area where we dont get a ton of rain or stormy weather, so I can speak much on sturdiness in those conditions, but it feels sturdy and well made and has operated perfectly in the rain we have been getting the last couple of days. It isnt terribly compact, but it feels more sturdy than the smaller compacting ones I have owned, so I assume you sacrifice compactness for sturdiness.

So far, so good!

Opens & closes with the push of a button. Worth every Penny!!

Totes knows how to make umbrellas. The handle feels solid in your hands, and the button has a nice feel to it when pressed in. The arm that lifts up and extends is not round, but rather hexagonal allowing for strength in higher then normal winds. The umbrella pops up and is ready to use upon pressing the button to release and the same button pressed again allows for the umbrella head to release. The arm extension still stays extended, but what is unique about this model is that when the umbrella releases it releases the outward cloth upwards. Meaning that if you were in the rain and then you press the button to release the top part it actually holds the water in as for it releases outwards. You can then tilt the umbrella head downwards shake the water off and then push with a bit of force on the top to un-extended the arm and put away. All seams and sewn materials is of good quality. Each extended arm under the umbrella head is of nice quality and each arm has its own spring retention. The umbrella seems loud at first when using it due to the spring loaded action, but is easily overcome through normal usage.

I recently lost this umbrella and so ordered a new one. Love the 2 autos- open and fold. And the design adds the impression of a sunny day. People also tell me they think the umbrella is pretty- I agree
