Totes Titanium Auto-Open/Close Umbrella, British Tan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great compact umbrella that pretty much performs as it says. It opens fully on pressing the button and when the button is pressed again the canopy collapses to a fairly compact manageable state but, of course, it does not retract fully. You have to roll the canopy tight and then push the extended handle back down to the fully retracted position. One would not expect anything else. Totes is the best brand. I have now bought their larger version of this as the canopy on this little one is not quite as wide as I would have hoped. It is nice to have only a length of "10" to deal with in my briefcase when collapsed but 13+" for a really big canopy was tempting and the price was the same here on Amazon. Note that the data here says this umbrella is 9" but it is not. Measuring it I find that it is 10" including the grip. The larger version, the "Big Top", really is just 13" long, but it is quite thick when rolled up, so still not as portable.

Superdome Collapsible Vented Canopy Umbrella by totes Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had this umbrella for 2 years now and have used it through rain, windy rain, sleet, and snow.
The selling points of this umbrella are as follows:
1) The large size of the canopy allows for 2 people to stay under the umbrella during a rain shower and stay relatively dry. Because the canopy is an octagon shape, the flat diameter through the corners is 48 inches, while the flat diameter through the sides is 44 inches.
2) The automatic open and close feature allows for quick entry through doors (buildings, cars).
3) The double-vented canopy allows for wind to pass through so when you have windy rain, your umbrella won't become inverted or break as easily.
4) It's very compact for an umbrella that large, meaning I can fit it in my backpack easily.
That said, my complaints have to do with the double-vented canopy. While it allows wind to pass through, preventing inversion, it's not perfect:
1) During heavier rain showers, you must keep the umbrella perfectly flat. If you tilt the umbrella slightly, the rain will trickle through the vent onto you. I found out the hard way during a down pour.
2) The double-vented design does make the umbrella heavier and thicker. In comparison to my the Totes Superdome without the vented canopy, which I also have, the non-vented one is lighter and thinner than the vented one.
3) The vented canopy makes closing the umbrella slightly more difficult. If you look carefully, the skeleton (metal "fingers") of the vented canopy sit slightly staggered to the fingers of the outer canopy. I'm pretty careful with my umbrellas, but one day after about a year of use when I closed the umbrella, one of the finger hinges got twisted strangely because it sat eclipsed with the other metal finger instead of being staggered. Now, there's a kink in the umbrella when it's closed.
While the idea of the vented canopy is good, I think I'll stick to the un-vented version of this umbrella because it's lighter and doesn't leak rain through the top during heavy rain showers.
Hope this helps...

Totes Golf Size Auto-Open/Close Umbrella Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Overall this umbrella is of fair quality (3 out of 5 stars). The product is designed well and performs more than adequately. It falls short, however, of being a truly quality product for 3 reasons: the nylon used for the umbrella is only suitable for light to medium rain (it would not be adequate for heavy rain); part of the handle is painted plastic instead of being full rubber and it is not truly golf-size (it is only medium size).To make this umbrella worthy of 5 stars, totes needs to use heavier duty nylon, construct the handle completely out of rubber (the painted plastic is less durable and will degrade much quicker)and make the opened size a bit closer to golf-size. The auto-open feature works but does not have a precise feel to it. To end this review on a positive note, the nylon cover is constructed of heavy duty nylon and is the best umbrella cover I have ever seen (it fits perfectly, looks excellent and is very durable). The securing strap is much wider than normal which results in better stowing of the umbrella (with or without the cover).In conclusion, this umbrella is decent and has some good features but it definitely falls short of being a great product.

68" Golf Umbrella with Nike Logo, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this to replace a 62" version that was lost. I wanted a plain black one, but settled on the Nike logo. You don't see it in the photo, but the sheath also has the logo.
These umbrellas are the finest I ever owned. They really stand up to strong wind, have amazing coverage, and are almost 43 inches tall when closed--enough for me to hold it above the handle to keep the tip from hitting the ground while walking. It handles like a broadsword, and coincidentally is in the same range of length.
My only complaint is the lack of a rubber tip. The end is plain plastic that looks like it will eventually wear through. I built a tip using a black plastic end cap and three rubber washers: one inside the cap and two stacked on top (a red one and a slightly smaller black one, so it looks like a red ring near the end) all roughed up with a file and held together with Shoe Goo.
The dense foam rubber handle is mostly comfortable, but I do feel some fatigue carrying it open, especially in the wind. It's a small price to pay for an umbrella that makes everyone else's look like a toy. Heh heh.

Totes Vented Canopy Auto-Open Golf Stick Umbrella, Black/Gray Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Needs two people to hold it. A strong wind gust will carry you way if the umbrella is tied to your hands. I mean literally this umbrella is strong and heavy and you need to tie it to stone if you are in some serious wind and rain. Or you better have a grip like a tennis pro

Totes Vented Canopy Auto-Open Golf Stick Umbrella Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)bought this with a gift certificate, free shipping. Live in California with winter rainy season needed an umbrella that wouldn't turn inside out for walking the dog. Tried it in 10 mph wind, worked great, 2nd time use in 10 mph wind 3 strings attaching the top canopy ripped off making the umbrella have a big flapping hole at the top. I was angry! I used a plastic coated twisty tie and removed the plastic coating with a 1 inch exposed wire to secure the top canopy (wire pokes through the material and then thread through the hole of the wire spine and wrap around 4-5 times and cut off excess and repeat on others. I decided to also replace all the threads of the top canopy since they would eventually break anyways. Was it a pain, kind of, but not it works like a charm. Most people don't want to go through this, so if you are not into doing this upgrade get a 1 piece non vented golf umbrella would be more stable. Buyer beware.
