Totes Signature Golf Size Auto Open/Auto Close Review

Totes Signature Golf Size Auto Open/Auto Close
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Very small and compact when close, fit perfectly inside a small student backpack, yet open to a 56' umbrella - two people can easily fit inside
The materials are high quality even when compared to other band names such as London-Fog
very light, strong aluminum body, good auto open/close mechanism, and big and solid overall - perfect for a New York winter

Totes Clip Case Auto Open/Auto Close Umbrella Review

Totes Clip Case Auto Open/Auto Close Umbrella
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The squalors in the spring/summer of NYC hit quickly, so I learned a long time ago to always carry an umbrella in my bag. Well after destroying $2 kmart specials over and over again, I decided to to get this one in it's place.
It comes with a nice canvas/spandex case and in it's case it measures just under 8.5"x3"x2". That's a bit larger than I had hoped/expected. But, it's a solidly made umbrella and doesn't saturate (then leak) nearly as easily as any other umbrella fabric umbrella that I've used.

Totes Micro Umbrella Review

Totes Micro Umbrella
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This Micro Umbrella by Totes is compact for putting in your backpack or purse. When deployed, it is as big as a full-sized umbrella. I've had my Totes Micro Umbrella for a few years and it's held up to strong winds and heavy rain. It may not be the the spring-loaded kind that opens up automatically with the press of a button, but it folds up very compact (approximately 8-3/4" in length and 5-1/2" in diameter). The craftsmanship is superb, from the stitching on the velcro strap and the canopy, to the skeletal frame and the telescoping handle - the quality is simply top-notch. The Micro Umbrella is, in sum, practical, well-made, durable, and *compact*. I'm extremely pleased with it. Definitely recommended!

Totes 731 Vented Canopy Golf Umbrella Review

Totes 731 Vented Canopy Golf Umbrella
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Wow. What lousy customer service. Imagine my surprise when the umbrella I received was plain black, not polka dotted like the picture shown. No big deal right? Mistakes happen, switch it out for the correct item, and move on. Wrong! When I called this vendor, I was rather rudely informed that they reserve the right to swap out colors/styles at their discretion. What? You won't send me the item that I actually ordered? Ok, forget it, I'll just send this back and call it a day. What, you won't cover shipping? A trip to the local UPS store revealed that, due to ths size and shape of the item, the shipping will cost as much as umbrella itself. Well, thanks for nothing. I'm now stuck with an umbrella I don't want, in a color I didn't request, and have wasted time on the phone and trying to deal with shipping. So, in summary, I recommend avoiding this vendor at all costs... it's just not worth it.

GustBuster Classic 48-Inch Automatic Golf Umbrella, Pink with Cancer Ribbon Logo Review

GustBuster Classic 48-Inch Automatic Golf Umbrella, Pink with Cancer Ribbon Logo
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was really excited to have this umbrella. It stands up well in the rain and rain, and looks stylish. However, the thumb release broke after less than a year's use. It still opens with the release, but has to be manually closed, and that requires quite a bit of labor, as it's not meant to be closed that way. Not sure if I'll purchase another.

ShedRain WindPro® Auto Open & Close Umbrella, Black Review

ShedRain WindPro® Auto Open and Close Umbrella, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I used this lightly for a few weeks, and yet: 1) it turned inside out during the first moderately windy day, 2) it became permanently stuck open when I accidentally opened it with it wrapped up. This happened right at the 60 day return mark, so I can't even return the dang thing. I'm now looking at a different brand that's even cheaper for the same idea and sold locally.
What's funny is I've got a Totes umbrella that's lasted me 3+ years that I bought for $25. It's just too bulky to fit in the lockers at the gym, hence why I bought this one.

GustBuster Classic 48-Inch Automatic Golf/Rain Umbrella, Paisley Review

GustBuster Classic 48-Inch Automatic Golf/Rain Umbrella, Paisley
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I owned this umbrella for more than 5 years, and I can say without qualification that there's not a better brand out there. For years I foolishly bought umbrella after umbrella at "bargain prices" of $15-$20 apiece, only to have them destroyed at the first sign of wind. After one particularly bad storm, I decided to stop throwing good money after bad and found the gustbuster. Since then, I have never had my umbrella pop inside out from the wind, and it has stood up to much abuse from me and my child. I also have a metro version that I keep in my van, and it works just as well. But for the best coverage, I'd recommend this larger umbrella. I will never be without a gustbuster again--it's that good!

Totes Flat Auto Open Auto Close Umbrella Review

Totes Flat Auto Open Auto Close Umbrella
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I used this umbrella sparsely during a one month period. There were heavy winds one day and the umbrella inverted as most umbrellas do. However, it never recovered from that incident. I used it later on that day and one of the branches on top was permanently stuck so that I could not close it. Eventually I gave up, when I opened it to see if its doom was really met, I found that yes it was except this time the automatic close button did not work and the umbrella is now fated to forever-open (if I choose to keep it in one piece which is unlikely). It is a nice umbrella, but I have purchased 99-cent umbrellas that could handle wear better than this. A HORRIBLE buy and now I am out [...]...I best find that life-time warranty slip.

68" Golf Umbrella with Nike Logo, Black Review

68 Golf Umbrella with Nike Logo, Black
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.

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

Not very good. First opened and it broke. Was a Christmas gift, so it was not used right a way, therefore too late to return. Contacted the company directly and received NO response. Would not buy this product again.

Umbrella is great, but not as large as advertised by Amazon. It appears that the order may have been confused and I received the smaller Titanium model by Totes instead of the "Big Top". Distributer has offered to send another umbrella.
