totes InBrella Reverse Close Umbrella, Invisible Water Repellent Coating, Auto Close

I wanted a new umbrella that had the hook on the end, and this one fits the bill! Was pleasantly surprised with its ease of operation. Initially felt strange because I was used to pushing the button for it to open, and this is exactly the opposite. So much better, though. When going out into the rain, you are typically already sheltered and can take your time. Once you get in the car or start going through the door, its is nice to push the button and have it collapse so youre not fiddling with it trying to stay dry!

Ive never spent a lot on an umbrella, but this was well worth it. I love the inverted design and wish Id bought one sooner! This makes it so much easier to get in and out of the car when my arms are full. It opens and closes like a dream (I love the push-button close), the materials are durable, and the overall design is well-made. I bought a second one as a white elephant gift and it was stolen several times. Im officially an inverted umbrella convert!

I love how it stands up on its own. The button for closing takes a little getting used to. I keep pressing it to open the umbrella!

can’t wait to use this beautiful umbrella!

I like the material, a little too pricey but I like it

This umbrella has a nice feature when closed and drying, but I felt it is too small and was a little feeble in the wind.

I purchased this in anticipation for my move to a coastal area. I was told the winds can be strong and it rains often in my area so I should invest in a strong, high-quality umbrella. After three and a half months of coastal living, I feel like Ive developed a pretty good Pros and Cons list. Pro: - Matches every outfit - Can withstand 25mph winds and NOT flip inside out (unlike my roommates cheap Wal-Mart umbrella) - Easy to see the cyclists who almost run into you (Because its clear!) - Really pretty to watch the rainfall and not get it in your eyes - People look at you in amazement when it reverse opens - It makes a great self-defence weapon in a pinch Con: - Just a little too small, when I walk without any bags its perfect but when I have my bookbag it gets soaked - Cant use it to hide your face when you trip and fall into a massive puddle (Again, because its clear) - Can withstand 25mph winds by catching the wind and pulling you backwards 10 feet down the sidewalk I love my umbrella! Its definitely worth the money (and thats coming from a broke college kid). I had to walk to work in a tropical storm with 25mph + winds and it held together perfectly! My only warning is that because its so strong, itll sometimes catch the wind and, if youre short and small like I am, Itll yank you backwards a few good feet, but it wont flip inside out!

So far so good. Easy to operate for my kids.

The inverse deign is awkward looking. I had three coworkers come up to me and ask if my umbrella was okay (lol). In addition, totes clear umbrella seems to not be as sturdy as their color options. Would pass unless you have other inverted umbrella and like the design.

Broke after a few uses.
