> 3 dayThis umbrella stands out due to the image. My wife pick it and really likes how it looks. The handle has a blue pin stripe which adds a nice touch. It opens up and closes well. The structure looks well built. You can’t go wrong with Totes and with this design it brings their line to those who want to stand out from a crowd. Thank you for taking the time to read my review and photos of this product. I hope it has been helpful in providing you with more information.

> 3 dayIts just as pretty as the pict, but I was expecting a white umbrella. The color is more of a powder blue/light blue NOT white. Still very pretty. Opens closes with the touch of a button seems sturdy. This is NOT a micro mini umbrella

> 3 dayI bought this umbrella to see how practical it would be for me and use it, while raining, while getting into my vehicle. For this purpose alone, it does work and is neat I suppose. The main dislike I have is that this umbrella is too small (in diameter) for me. I’m not a large person and this barely covers me. Light rain is fine, but anything more, and if there’s wind, you’ll want the 55” Totes. This umbrella is a good in-between. It closes and opens snappy and fairly small and compact. It’s just okay to me.

> 3 dayThe totes InBrella Reverse Folding Umbrella - Inverted Design, Auto Open/Close has an interesting design. The wet side closes in, which is handy to keep the wet contained until I can set the umbrella out to dry. The auto open/close works well. I do need to push up a hair to fully open them umbrella, but thats fine. The close button also just shuts the umbrella; the handle must be pushed down by hand. I think that makes sense. It is still easier to use the button than my hands when Im getting in the car. I also think the cloud print is very pretty. This is a good umbrella. Ive had several totes umbrellas before, and this seems up to their usual quality. Im sure Ill be able to use it for years.

> 3 dayI 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

My 3 Cents
> 3 dayThe 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.

> 3 dayThe umbrella is pretty but the auto button only opens but does not auto close. So closing umbrella manually is tough. Contemplating returning. Kind of disappointed since I purchased Tote umbrella for its reputation.

> 3 dayI have purchased several totes umbrellas. They are well constructed and long-lasting. The reverse folding seems strange at first, but it works flawlessly.

> 3 dayNice, sturdy. Button to close feature only takes it so far, essentially just collapsing the top, my 10 year old can’t muscle it down to its original size which is disappointing because it was purchased as a backpack umbrella. It does fit in side pocket of backpack, for those raising body builders.
