Totes Auto Open Large Vented Windproof Golf Umbrella with UV and Water Repellent Protection

This is my second one. It's very sturdy, has the slit for wind in the top, and has a great size canopy for heavy rain especially when it's windy and blowing in at an angle. Some people like small petite umbrellas. This is not. This is like carrying around a cane. I like it that way. If I'm carrying an umbrella, I want something reliable, not flimsy junk.

I have bought only TOTES umbrellas for many years. This is a LARGE umbrella, enough room for 2 people, and is very well made. Plus it's a great price. I didn't pay attention if the weight was listed. My purpose is to take my new puppy out in the rain, which of course she hates. The large size would keep her mostly dry if she stays near me, but it is a bit heavy while also trying to hold her leash and a flashlight. I attempted to return it, and they said keep it and refunded the money. I will give it to my son-in-law who is a bigger man, and I'll get a lighter, foldable one from the same company. Thank you, Totes!

Now this is 100% quality. I can’t wait to walk my maltipoo next time it raining🙂 love this BIG umbrella!

Well worth the price. Holds up with wind and provides great coverage from rain. Rain also doesn’t stick it either so it’s easy to shake off water before entering a building

Tote’s Auto-opening Large Canopy Umbrella Pros: (1) The canopy is nice and large; (2) it opens with the push of a button; (3) it closes up to an easy carry size; (4) it’s lightweight; (5) the handle is rubberized and comfortable; (6) it’s wind resistance; (7) it comes with a Tote’s lifetime replacement guarantee. Cons: (1) It doesn’t auto-close; (2) it’s relatively expensive, compared to other brands with similar features. Here’s what I like best about Tote’s umbrellas: when they advertise “lifetime guarantee,” they really mean it. Several years ago, my wife purchased a Tote’s, large, golf-sized, umbrella. It survived a lot of use, before one of the metal ribs broke. I contacted Tote’s, who instructed me to cut a portion of the velcro strap off, and send them the attached label containing the umbrella model number, along with $5. A couple weeks later, I received a compact replacement umbrella that was much smaller than the one it was replacing. I re-contacted Tote’s and they sent me a larger replacement umbrella at no additional charge. Now, that’s what I call a great lifetime guarantee. If you find my review helpful, please let me know; it makes this old-timer feel useful.

So far, so good. We were under a high wind advisory the other day. I opened it up and pointed it directly down wind. The top flap popped up and allowed the wind to pass through without tearing it apart. The neighbors probably thought I was nuts opening a giant umbrella and pointing it sideways in the wind with no rain... I also took it to a soccer game and used it as I watched from the stands. It was big enough to cover me and provide good shade. I have yet to use it in the rain, but will update my review if I change my mind. I like the easy open spring. You just press the button and it slides open. It is a bit heavy, but not so much that you'd have trouble with it, but you can tell it's made solidly.

I bought a totes umbrella 16 years ago. I still use it and this year I noticed that parts of it were starting to break a little bit. I figured that since this umbrella lasted 16 years I would look for something similar and bought this totes umbrella. It seems like they have improved on the design and it is very sturdy and extremely similar to the one I bought 16 years ago. Let's hope for another 16 years out of this one also.

The plastic piece that clips the umbrella closed broke the very first time I used it. Now it will not stay closed. Cheaply made and it will most likely happen to you too.

Bit heavy. Otherwise, terrific!

Big enough for 2 and sturdy. Quite happy about it overall - some might feel it heavy but I like it

Others told me it was heavy, it is. Most unique comment I can make was the handle is neither comfortable upright or carrying closed as a cane

Excellent umbrella. It is very well made and can handle very strong winds like a breeze.

Good quality
