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

The Umbrella is Excellent and the price is fair but the warranty and durability isnt as great as annouced

The only umbrellas we have had are big box brand cheapie’s that are quite flimsy. More than once I’ve had the umbrella break by trying to manually close it and it got stuck. Also they don’t have any sort of a sleeve and the water that is on the outside of the umbrellas just pools in puddles on my car floor mat. When I saw this Totes InBrella I was really intrigued. The umbrella features something unique: as the umbrella is closing, it folds inward so that the moisture isn’t all over the outside. As you’re getting in the car, you can press the button and as it closes, you can dump the water out of the top. Another feature that made me excited was the auto open and close at the press of a button. The umbrella opens and shuts smoothly, thank goodness! I also love that this has a sleeve on it so I can put it in my purse or on the car floor and it won’t get water everywhere. You do have to mess with the folds of the fabric a bit before using the velcro to get this small enough to fit into the sleeve easily. Finally, I like how compact this umbrella folds down when closed. This is a standard sized umbrella, really best for one person although two could squeeze under it unless it is raining sideways or really windy. I haven’t had any rain which seems to go through the fabric. My only negative is the cost of this product. I could never really justify paying a lot for an umbrella but over the years I have spent a lot on cheap things that I throw away after a year or two. Totes is such a well known brand, and having used this I definitely see the value in purchasing a sturdy umbrella (lesson learned!) I’ll purchase another for my son to have in his school backpack, and will order these as gifts.

I brought this item for my mom, she liked the pattern. When we took it out of the wrapping and pushed on the button, it opened and clicked again it closed. HOWEVER, when I tried to compact it, the umbrella wouldnt lock in place and kept wanting to spring forward. It also will not open again either manually. DONT BUY!

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.

Compact very useful

Better quality than expected good buy for the money

This is a small but good umbrella. The inverted design does cut down on drips, especially in the car. Opens and closes smoothly. Ive lost several totes umbrellas, but Ive never had one break.

Such a wonderful looking, my kid so like it and using it every day!! I cant more love this brand !!!

Very dissatisfied with this. Thought Totes was a good brand.

So pretty design. Functional and works well opening and closing. Really like it. Made in China.
