 Men's Big Top Auto Open/Auto Close Umbrella by totes Feb 25, 2008
By T, Quick
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.

 Unbelievable Warranty Oct 06, 2010
By Michael Kraus
I bought a Totes umbrella 7 years ago. It served me very well. Eventually it was destroyed by the wind. Just for the heck of it I emailed Totes customer service asking if I was covered by the lifetime warranty for "manufacturing defects." To me, 7 years of heavy duty service (I walk to and from work and used that umbrella a lot) was perfectly acceptable, but the customer affairs rep said I was indeed covered by the warranty and just needed to send in the tag from the umbrella, a fabric sample for color matching and $5 for shipping. I did as instructed, and just 1 week later, my replacement umbrella (the model listed here) has arrived! Looks like a great umbrella. It's not often that a company exceeds my expectations like this. I'll definitely buy Totes from now on.

Handy thing to have. Jul 13, 2009
By Joseph McDaniel
"Tokyo Joe D"
I live in Japan and have to lot of walking between home and the station and then the station and the office. This is a really convenient umbrella because it is relatively light and is nice and wide when open. I but it in the outside pocket of my back pack and don't have to worry about the weather any more.
The only problem that I have had is that I accidentally hit the release button a few times while I was using it and it closed and gave me a little shaking shower of rain.
Hopefully not a mistake I will repeat. Other than that, it is well worth the price.

Good Umbrella Feb 03, 2010
By Shawn Patrick Mcnew
As always, Amazon shipped fast. Got the brella with plenty of time to wrap before Christmas. I've used it a half dozen times and it functions perfectly. The size is great for me, I'm a big man. I really like the auto-collapse feature when getting in the car or approaching your destination. It folds the umbrella down with one button push, PLUS it knocks most of the rain off itself! Construction seems to be very sturdy, but I haven't had a chance to get in any high winds with it yet. Somebody complained about how hard it was to reset the spring...ARE YOU KIDDING? My 3 year old daughter can do it. Great purchase.

big little umbrella Feb 02, 2009
By Anthony Dodge
"theartfuldodger"
although it collapses to a surprisingly compact size, this totes umbrella opens up to display oversized protection. this is a great item, keep it in your car, office, briefcase or just carry it along.
it may be inexpensive but it is not cheaply made. love it.
